AWFUL!
Do not watch this film if you over 16 years old! Its awful!

Steady laughs and upbeat word of mouth should make this a solid if unspectacular fall performer. Los Angelenos Danny (Rudd) and Wheeler (Scott) work for energy-drink company Minotaur, driving a novelty monster truck to schools where they -- Wheeler costumed as ha...
