Cars 2 made 25.7 million on its debut Friday (June 24, 2011), marking the second-largest opening day for a Pixar film, at the time, after Toy Story 3 s 41.1 million. The number of laughs I got allowed me to ignore such missteps, resulting in a jolly romp superior to the passable but inferior "Get Smart" I watched earlier this year. We hear from background dialogue that shes made a cake for someone. SPY: You could make it really easy for us if you just drop a brief note saying what your budget is. Overall, Cars 2 became seventh biggest Pixar film in worldwide box office among the fourteen released. There are a few drawbacks, particularly how McCarthy is established as a shy presence who can be overwhelmed by a situation, but almost immediately transforms into a deadly weapon more skilled than dozens of highly paid and experienced killers even though her last taste of field training was 10 years ago. Not to be outdone either in the expletive arena is Jason Statham, hilariously lampooning his own action hero persona as a spy who has killed a thousand enemies, lost and re-attached several of his own limbs, and died several times. Finally, an American action/comedy that gets the tone just about right, not too serious and not too silly (well, almost.) Melissa McCarthy shows she can pull her weight in a lead role, and speaking of which what a relief that we are spared from enduring a parade of fat jokes - imagine that, you can still be funny without taking cheap shots! Hats off to Paul Feig! Rated a hard 'R' for language, would be a close call who has the highest number of fucks:wordcount ratio, McCarthy or Rose Byrne in a cracking portrayal as the Eva Green-like evil uberbitch.
