Review     

     So you may have seen that Rotten Tomatoes gave this movie a 2 out of 100. Ikkk! (Not sure how you spell ikk so ikkkkk works). I don't think it merited that sort of review but, in all fairness to RT, it was a pretty bad movie!

     Not that you care, but I saw this movie with my brother and he thought it was really good. I'm not so generous. It just wasn't very entertaining. One of the main characters (played by Selena Gomez) didn't even have a name! WTF!!!!! I mean, forget about character development (of which this movie has none of), but how hard would it be to give the girl a fricking name!!! Sandy, Judy, Betsy, Clare. Even, if the production designer was really bland, make her play herself. It would be great marketing for her. 

     So, we've established that the characters in this movie are essentially just props that drive the cars that they blow up, but what else sucks about this movie? Well, for starters, there is too much product placement. Even the car they use is product placement. When you see that there is product placement on the poster, you can pretty much guarantee that the movie is going to suck! Ethan Hawke's character (yes, they did give him a name) Brett Magna changes phones every five minutes. They flash about 200,000,000 products across the screen in the two hour movie. That's got to be some kind of record!

Summary

      Getaway has almost no story. The most summaryish thing I can give you is this: Brett Magna, ex race car driver ) gets his wife kidnapped and has to go smash a bunch of stuff up in order to get her back. He steals a fancy car (and the producers let us know right away that it's a Ford Shelby Cobra) that turns out to be "The Kid's" (Selena Gomez's character's name). She tries to shoot him and they go off together and blow more stuff up!

Parental Guidance Information

       As far as violence, the whole movie's point is to blow up cars and fire bits of metal at the screen. Don't bring anybody to this movie who doesn't like loud noises, big bangs, and guns. This movie is just so full of cars blowing up that you will never want to see another action movie again after you leave the theater.

     As far a language, you're probably going to want to only bring kids who know all minor swears. They use Asshole, Shit, Frick, and other partially malevolent swear words.
