Racecar Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and his tow-truck buddy, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), have had their share of adventures together but nothing like what they experience when they head overseas for the first-ever World Grand Prix. While Lightning has his eye on the road to the championship, Mater takes a detour to international espionage when he meets British master spy Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) and stunning spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer).

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The trouble with stuffing too much into a film quickly becomes evident in Cars 2, as the plotlines tumble and collide with each other creating, mostly, cacophony. Rated: 2/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Leah Rozen TheWrap Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible. Oct 7, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard It is all quite jolly and fast-paced, a feast for the eyes, but there's not much for the mind or the heart. Rated: 3/5 Jul 22, 2011 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s not awful, but it just felt so perfunctory to the point of apathy. Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It may not live up to the usual sophistication associated with the animation studio, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad film. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2023 Full Review Petrana Radulovic Polygon It's all the delight of a spy movie, but with the added fact of Oh right, they're all cars! Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Pablo S Una de las películas más infravaloradas de la historia que cuenta con gran elenco de voces, una animación magnífica y un ritmo trepidante. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Arta A Now I think that Cars 2 biggest problem is the title of it. To find out more check out my channel Carsiator Collection Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Alek V Absolute PEAK and 20/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Luca D It’s so peak, just absolute cinema, should’ve destroyed everything at the box office. Amazing, 10/10 so amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Although the worst in the series, still holds up when you don't think of this as a Cars movie, but more a Maters Tall Tales... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Davi W O filme carros 2 me traz uma grande nostalgia gostar de ver o filme desde criança uma continuação muito ótima do caos das novos corredores internacionais grandes aventuras e muito mais esse filme vai com a infância assim como o primeiro filme te amo pixar e Disney ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
