As an auto sports fan, you might be inclined to watch this movie. The movie is about a young girl who has lived around a race track and been involved with racing since she was a little girl. But the message here is not about racing, it is about her getting over her fears.
C'mon!
Alex's father died after rolling his racecar in turn 8 on a road course. And despite losing her father on the track, she wants to be a professional racecar driver. Lucky for her, the Flying Lizard Motor Sports has come to town to have open auditions for their team.
Look. 90% of the movie is about Alex, ... getting picked on by her rival, falling in love, working out her relationship with her uncle, and trying to get better as a driver. Throw in a montage of working out and sessions behind the wheel for good measure.
Pardon me, but I know this movie is not supposed to be about Danica Patrick, but it reeks of her somehow. Danica Patrick is one of the more popular and recognizable female drivers currently out there. And she is a good driver, she has proved that. But something tells me that she did not get her ride by winning one time trial.
This movie needed more racing for my tastes. A lot more. Not a bad flick, but not one that I would want to see again.
I give this movie 1 out of 5 racing helmets.
