I saw the "preview" when I was at the theater 2 weeks ago. Definitely caught my attention and is on my list of must see on the big screen films.

I took my little one to see it last night. It was a really good movie for a cartoon. The wrecker played by larry the cable guy was really funny!

Makes me want to drive Rt. 66Rte. 66 would be a great focus of a regional, if not national event! On one of my trips to Chicago, I picked up a Rte. 66 cookbook which details the route and all the diners along the way! Can you just imagine the invasion!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie!

I have seen it and it was a very good movie....felt bad being the only adult with no kids. Maybe I should have rented a couple of kids....oh well great movie. By the way Hitchhiker has a '52 Hudson Hornet....any pics...the only one I have ever seen is in this movie.

Taking the family this weekend to see it. Taking the baby and it will be her first movie. Hoping she enjoys it, but I won't keep her in there if she is being fussy out of respect to others there.

Took the wife and kids to see it Friday night and it was great. I can't wait until it comes out so that I can record it on the DVR. Lots of details hidden that should be fun to find one frame at a time.

I've heard that there a lot of inside jokes. One of them is the license plate of the Fiat 500. The numbers are the Lat and Long of the Ferrari factory. Now that is an inside joke.

I had the S.O.B. looking for "Luigi's" plates; but he says that he never got that close of a look at them. He liked the movie and said that there are LOTS of hidden items including the desert background formations !!

Saw it this past Tuesday and loved it!

Take a good look at the valley rock formations...there's a tribute to the Cadillac Ranch (with all the half-buried Cadillacs). I think the Wagon Wheel motel is supposed to be a reflection of something real, but my grasp of Route 66 history is a tad weak.

George Carlin as the hippie VW? Classic.

A '49 Merc as a cop car? Classic...especially because they were, at one point
in time...

An Italian tire (shoe) salesman? Classic....especially one with pretensions of being a Ferrari...

Best of all: Paul Newman (legendary race car driver) as a '51 Hudson Hornet (legendary race car). Y'know, there's a parts yard just outside Daytona Beach that still has the Hudson Hornet sign out front...wonder if we're going to see a bounce in Hornet prices at the auctions now, on account of the movie...

It did make me think....about the Route 66 landmarks that I left behind in the St. Louis area. There's the old bridge over the river that's been preserved by the Route 66 association.

Wonder what Route 66 looks like in the Southwest...

I always thought that the Coral Court motel on Watson Rd was cool. It was an old Tourist Cabin type. It was special in that the cabins had attached garaqes for married people on "nooners".
