LAT in 90 Seconds

— America kicks ass. That’s clearly the subtext of this weekend’s box office results. The Heartland fable Cars outpaced The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which zips through Japan; Nacho Libre, which does combat in Mexico; Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties, which embarrasses England; and The Lake House, which unfolds in a magical place where people have interest in seeing a Sandra Bullock-Keanu Reeves movie without the word “speed” in its title. Disney’s distribution chief, Chuck Viane, tried to put his company’s Pixar-generated dominance in perspective: “The audience has made its choice: We’re the family film of the summer.”
