“Do you guys want to fly or…”

From The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

For her entire life, Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) has been pretty friendless because of her love for creating odd, but funny short films.  Her younger brother, Aaron (Michael Rianda), appreciates and helps create Katie’s videos, but her parents don’t always get her style.  While her mom, Linda (Maya Rudolph), watches the videos and offers encouragement, Katie’s dad, Rick (Danny McBride), repeatedly voices his doubts about Katie’s goal of attending film school in Los Angeles.  Katie is excited to leave her constant arguments with her dad behind when she goes off to college, but after a particularly big fight ends in Katie’s broken laptop, Rick decides to cancel Katie’s flight to college in exchange for one last family road trip.  The Mitchell family and their dog, Manchi, reluctantly set out on the cross country trip just as Pal Lab tech founder (Eric Andre) introduces the world to his new robots that make the Pal phones obsolete… a move which enrages the AI Pal (Olivia Coleman).  Soon Pal takes control of the robots, reprogramming the safety kill switch out, so that the robots begin capturing every human so technology can rule the world.  Through some quick, but clumsy thinking, the Mitchells find themselves the last free humans on Earth.  Rick wants to hide for safety, Linda struggles with comparing their imperfections with the lives of their perfect neighbors (Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and Charlyne Yi), and Katie just wants to get life back on track so she can go away to school, so she convinces her family to reactivate the robots’ kill switch programing in Silicone Valley to save the world.  Their road trip might have started in disaster, but the more Pal-created challenges that they overcome proves to the Mitchell family that they’re better together than they imagined.

Utilizing a similar animation style to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this comedy sci-fi movie has a very unique look about it that is continually featured to create this one-of-a-kind bright and fun adventure.  The talented cast bring their unique characters to life, but the non-stop, family-friendly humor is the movie’s true driving force.  The Mitchells vs. the Machines will be an instant hit because it offers viewers of every age a story filled with genuine heart, impressive animation, and constant laughs.
