It's difficult to review this movie:
It isn't a biography because there's not enough details.
It isn't for car enthusiasts because there's almost zero details.
It isn't about Romance, Love, Lust, Fear or Creativity.
In conclusion: There's no reason for this movie to exist. I can't even call it a 'vanity' project... it just exists in a tiny bubble by itself.
The acting and actors were 'meh', characterisation forced, relatability zero and dialogue stilted. The camera work was decent but that is it!
I'm forced by IMDB to add filler - because, though in truth, I've mentioned everything mentionable about the movie I'm a few characters short.

This film expresses every sentiment I feel and, rather more vocally express, as a 64 year old man. Looking around at this current iteration of humanity leaves me shaking my head in despair or livid with anger... often both.
I have, in the last 10 years, met a variation of every single character portrayed here - Simp, Wimp, Karen... et al.
This Movie is a beautiful and accurate portrayal of life and a stunning depiction of a culture in crises.
Bill Burr is superb in his portrayal of a man watching every value, every hero and the family he loves being subverted and alienated by passive-aggressive weaklings who have zero respect for personal space, history and the hard work that enables them to exist in our modern society.
Bobby Cannavale - an excellent and underrated actor - is awesome as the 'simp' who finally grows a pair and ants to lead by example.
Bokeem Woodbine - another underrated actor - is excellent, portraying the man who knows he's made mistakes... missed out on time with his kids but still tries to connect.
In summation: The film is a genuine representation of what life is like for Men over 40 - we're the target for every 'broad' accusation; we're all hateful, bigoted, racist, homophobic, trans-phobic... et al But - at the end of the day - we got things done. We built the cities, roads, bridges, railways, invented lights, telephones, the Internet,... everything you'll use to curse us with, while enjoying those luxuries.

The CGI - given the films budget is exceptional - everything else... not so much.
The Plot - what there is of one, is all over the place and the Acting - especially Viktoriya Agalakova (obviously the daughter of some oligarch who helped finance the movie (because no one in their right mind would hire this girl) ) and Georgiy Bestaev is just dismal.
The single non 2-Dimensional actor was Mariya Lisovaya (Anya / Valaya) who managed to outshine the leading pair by an enormous factor.
To the 5 writers 'credited' for this movie: Please consider your life choices. If this is even close to the best you can produce - then you're doomed to utter failure. The dialogue is just soooo simplistic and often demeaning to both the audience and the actors.
Direction: Above average - considering the film is 'mainly' CGI - and getting both the actors and crew to stay on point must have been a pita - they did an excellent job.
Further on the plus side - there's a few moments of 'action/suspense', one moment of actual 'comedy' and over an hour and half of decent CGI... but that's it.
As an adult, I ploughed through this movie and nearly sobbed with relief when it ended - hopefully, my sacrifice will be taken into consideration if you think about watching this rubbish... but, if you have kids (9-11) then they're going to really enjoy it !!
Note: I changed both my rating as an adult from a: 3 to (as a grandparent) a: 6 simply based upon my grandkids reaction to the film. Apparently, I may not now be qualified to judge a movie aimed at the child demographic now that I'm in my 70's - who knew?!!
Have a nice day.
