My Little boy Love it!!.......2007-07-16

My son love this movie and it was a wonderful price, we got it very fast and that may be due to the fact that we live so close to Wisconsin which is where the company is based. This is our second copy, it is simply a great movie with wonderful inspiration for your child!

Lots of Kart Racing Fun . . . even Crashes!.......2006-10-17

Boys, especially boys who have a passion for cars, will love this movie. To be fair, the story is a simple, run of the mill, common movie story: a child has to overcome parent's problems to accomplish some goal. Of course, no matter how inexperienced they are, they always win the race or accomplish some difficult goal. In this movie, however, they do show 'Watts' ( the boy's nickname) first working without his father's permission, then working together with him to qualify for the big kart race. Traditional values families will want to point this out to their kids; the hard work needed to accomplish the goal. Kids may wish to point out to their parents that the parents helped with Watt's goal, not insisting the kid work toward the parent's goals.

There is no bad language or any questionable behavior, so this is a wonderful traditional values movie. There are lots of scenes of racing cars and even kart crash scenes that most boys will really enjoy. A more original story would have given this movie an 'A' rating.

Short Review.......2005-07-07

I race karts for real and thought this would be a badly filmed and stupid stereo-type view of racers and their daily lives. Which, as it turned out, I was correct!

However, the story line is entertaining and fairly plausible without being too boring. The racing scenes are 'hyped up' for those Americans who can't live without brash commentators stating the blaringly obvious.

The racing enthusiast will find some enjoyment at laughing at some of the inacurrate and over exagerated sections of the film, but will secretly be enjoying it, seeing themselvs in the main character. For the 'normal' person, this will provide them with nothing more than a way to kill some time and an innacurrate view on the karting scene and the people involved in it, but who cares? It's fun and worth 90 minuites of your time. Whoever you are.

Great.......2005-06-20

This movie was awesome i absolutely loved it!!!!!! OMG Will Rothhaar is so cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well i have nothing else to say sorry it is so short !

Great movie for tweens.......2005-03-14

This movie was fun, especially for the middle school and elementary set. I believe anyone 15 and under will really enjoy it. Personally, I think this is one of Randy Quaid's best roles. This is one role where he doesn't play a bumbling bafoon (National Lampoon Vacation's cousin Eddie) or a drunk (Independence Day). This role allowed him to show that he can play a serious role and do a good job to boot! Fun action movie for kids, includes many action packed race scenes. Good story line, a family torn apart by the death of Mom, who happened to be partners in professional kart racing with Dad (Randy Quaid). While Dad has fallen into a 4 year self pity rut, his son is getting into trouble with the law in their small town. When professional kart racing returns to their hometown racetrack, Dad and son are able to work together to put the grieving behind them and work together toward a brigh future in kart racing.

Enduro Road racing...........2007-02-26

I also race WKA nationals.. SOmetimes against Pierre... This video gives an excellent oversight into the world of Enduro Road Racing.. I have been racing on the national level for 3 years, and the presentation shows the passion level these guys and gals have. With ages from 16 to well past retirement, this sport gives promise to racers dreams, and Pierre's video gives the viewer a little taste of this exciting sport. The in Kart action is very well done, and I must say the production of the video is VER professional.. Better than some of the Grammy winners.. It get's my vote!! Karl Dulle Laydown 54 NEW HAMPSHIRE KARTING ASSOCIATION...
And as a last comment.. Get off the couch when your'e done watching this video, and get racing baby!
