The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I am a big fan of this movie and like this movie because it is a good way to show people what hydrocephalus is really like. i know the movie can't show the condition in full as this is a Disney movie it does show the struggle of people with the condition.As i have hydrocephalus myself i found it rather interesting to watch. I totally know what the character in the movie feels like in the scenes where he is not feeling too good.If you haven't seen this movie it is a great way to learn a little bit about hydrocephalus i would tell anybody who hasn't seen it to definitely do so. its a good one

Justin Yoder (Frankie Muniz) wants desperately to win a trophy. He wants to compete, to succeed, to win. One problem. Justin is in a wheelchair.While his disability has hampered him for years, Justin finally finds something that he can do--soapbox derbies. After talking his parents into it, he launches into a whole new stage of his life, finding that he is good at something, and he might even have a chance at a trophy.This movie caught my eye one day a little over a year ago on the Disney channel. I watch 'Malcolm in the Middle' and quickly recognized Frankie Muniz. However, it was not him I came away loving, it was Patrick Levis. Patrick plays Seth Yoder, Justin's older brother. I have a brother of my own with a disability, so I understood every single one of Seth's feelings and frustrations. The scene in which Seth breaks down and spills his feelings to his father was especially poignant. Thank you, Patrick, for such a beautiful and understanding performance. This movie is careful not to deny the truths of being a sibling to someone with a disability--a rare and wonderful thing for films.All in all, a magnificent piece of work, especially for a made-for-TV movie.

This was a really cute family film---it shows that the underdog CAN rise to the top and win the prize. Of course, it didn't hurt to have Frankie Muniz as the star; he is a likeable and talented young actor. No wonder "Malcolm in the Middle" is such a big hit.

I luved this movie. On the Disney Channel they do it to death but I don't care I watch it all the time. My mom said that Seth was a jerk but I could understand him, though I migh want to point out that I will always think of him from So Wird. You might say that he is a jerk on that too but I like him anyways. On Brink he is nice. I think that this movie should have ended with Justin geting the trophy and maybe a sene where it showed the trophy on the shelf. Cause I really was not crazy about the angels in the wheel chairs scene either.
