Fresh and Exciting
Absolutely the worst movie.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
I'm all for modern day films that take plots from the classics and you don't get more classic than the Bard. If a film like Motocrossed will encourage young folks to check out 12th Night and the rest of the works of Master Will Shakespeare so much the better.Motocrossed is the story the Carson Family who all enjoy the sport of Motorcycle racing including daughter Alana Austin. Her twin brother Trevor O'Brien is an up and coming young racer, but when he's injured and can't compete his twin sister takes so she can compete with the boys and show she has the right stuff for the support.Austin does have her problems though, she has to win her parents and siblings over which also includes a most indiscreet little brother Scott Terra. Mother Mary-Margaret Humes gets on board as Austin appeals to the feminist side of her. It's father Timothy Carhart that's kept in the dark for most of the film.It doesn't help that there's a champion Motocross rider in Riley Hill that she has an interest in that extends to more than sports. But being in male drag won't help her cause.Motocrossed has some nice cinematography of the young folk doing their racing and it's fine family entertainment.
Ok, this is definitely not the best Disney movie out there, BUT it is the best one made for TV. It is a fun movie to watch, with characters you actually care about, and a few very witty lines "Do you think anyone in France actually misses him." Yes a few characters were created souly to further the plot, Andi's father isn't very realistic, neither Fern, and Renee's accent is horrible. Still it is a fun movie, Dean and Andi's relationship is sweet. Her mother, and two brothers are great characters. Even though it is predictable, come on guys it's a Disney movie do you think that they're going to have her bike crash and her die or something, it is a very fun watch, so fun that it is possible to watch it twice in one day without getting bored (my sister came in for the very end and then wanted to watch the beginning). So watch if it comes on TV, or it even is a satisfying rental, but don't expect it to challenge you, or to be anything more than it is.
When I saw the advertising for this movie I must admit that I was expecting it to suck. But to my surprise it didn't. Maybe it's just me, but I think this is one of the Disney channels best original movies. Although yes it may similarities to that of the Disney animated film Mulan, I still think that it's one of the most reasonable and could be realistic films on the channel right now. I mean, how often do you find yourself turning into a mermaid or having a step sister who's really a bubble? Not too often.
I loved Motocrossed. I feel that it give people especially gurls the courage to play a sport like that. And Plus there are ALOT of hot guys in the film expecially Riley Smith. And I also LOVE the sport motocross Now I know that I am not the only gurl probably to be racin.
