The movies subtle charm lies in Mikeys gap-toothed grin, mouthy Chunks unexpected heroism, and Datas hilariously ineffective gadgets. Its a gloriously rambling ride where every absurdity is digested with Spielbergs magical pizzazz. Yes, it teeters on ludicrous, but thats the beauty!

The charming allure of this flick lies less in its plot and more in the deafening roars of engines, the blur of hypnotically spinning wheel rims, and the existential debates about what constitutes a quarter mile. Its a testosterone-tango of fast cars and faster women, framed in an excellently shot playground of urban snarl and grease.

Lets journey into a tundra of Christmas excess where elf labor is rife, creepy marionettes perform disturbing dances and festive cheer is somewhat forced on you like the last, lonely Brussels sprout at Christmas dinner. This kaleidoscope of craziness, driven by Chuck star Freight Engine Tom Hanks, who plays, err, everyone – or almost, is a blizzard of digital wizardry and motion capture technology, where humans look almost real, but not quite.
