Plot Summary
Rubber is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert and then suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes. At first content to prey on discarded objects and small desert creatures, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction behind, Robert becomes a chaotic force and truly a movie villain for the ages.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: By embracing irrationality as his operating principle (or at least by pretending to), Mr. Dupieux lets himself off the narrative hook.
Rotten: Pic offers auds few reasons to want to see it beyond its one-joke premise.
Fresh: "Rubber" has anthropomorphic, head-scratching fun with its gory B-movie trappings, silly music cues, self-referential comedy and deliberately off-kilter acting.
Fresh: An essay on storytelling and spectatorship within When Inanimate Objects Attack schlock -- one infused with the haunting aura and disillusionment of a post-Easy Rider road movie -- Rubber is some kind of miracle.

Social Experiment
This has to be part of someone's thesis paper to see how far people will go to waste their money on itunes.
Don't Look away.
For No Reason, I watch a movie called Rubber. It's a movie about a tire name Robert with The Power to roll around and make people head explode. FOR NO REASON, I give the movie 8/10 For Head explode awesomeness!
"Pure Cinema"
As good as it get's.. simply watch this, the undertones are perfect. YES! you need a brain to watch this.. NO! it's absolutley NOT your typical "Hollywood" film.
