The basic setup of the film should be familiar to anyone whos ever read a YA book.
Creachs cilia and many monstrous tentacles are more than enough to make up for an engine.
One is that the monster, the crux around which the entire movie revolves, is spectacularly ugly.
Then theres the fact that Tripp is actually a pretty big jerk.
He does the same for Jim and his moms boyfriend Rick (also the town sheriff).
The most interesting aspect ofMonster Trucksis actually not the magical/sci-fi element at all.
