    It's hard to dislike a picture with flying cows and oil trucks.

    Extreme-weather buffs, thrill-ride junkies and anyone else in search of mindless entertainment need look no further.

    Big swirls of computer-generated dirt, a bickering couple and the dead certainty that the fiancee will leave and the bickerers will get back together. An exciting night out, or what?

That pretty much sums it up right there.… Expand
