So how's this for a high concept. Three "hilariously" inept redneck thieves kidnap the computer genius daughter of some rich guy in order to blackmail him into turning over a new artificial intelligence system they plan to sell on the black market. Unfortunately, they didn't count on her vengeful husband and his sentient monster truck. OK, pretty awesome, right? And if you can get through the first half of the film, which dwells way too long on the antics of our three would-be criminals and their attempts to steal first the AI system, and then the girl, then you get to enjoy the second half of the film, in which a dude tears around in a talking monster truck and smashes stuff. The entire thing is as idiotic as it sounds, with lots of comedy on the level of, "Durrr, if I turn around, does my right hand turn into my left hand?" On their wedding night, the hero takes his new bride and parks in a field so they can spend the night in the back of his boss custom van. The artificial intelligence monster truck speaks in a voice that is so over-modulated you can't understand a word it's saying. And then, out of nowhere, the three criminals have access to bazookas and Sherman tanks.
