Ryan Reynolds is a snail that leaves a flaming trail in this new CGI-animated comedy adventure about an average everyday garden snail-turned speed demon by a freak accident who gets the opportunity to achieve his ultimate dream of winning the Indy 500.

Julianne Hough, Russell Brand and Octavia Spencer star in Oscar-winning Juno writer Diablo Cody's directorial debut, which follows the journey of Lamb Mannheim (played by Hough), a devout Christian in a God-fearing Montana town who questions her faith after she's severely burned in a freak plane crash. Armed with a big insurance payout and "a checklist of untried sins," the naïve Lamb looks for answers in Las Vegas -- much to the chagrin of her parish and conservative parents, played by Holly Hunter and Nick Offerman -- where she meets a friendly Brit bartender (Brand) and cynical soul singer (Spencer) who teach her a thing or two about what it means to really live – and she does the same in return.
