As premises for preteen flicks go, the identity swap went flat way back when, post-Freaky Friday. Throw in a threesome of pinup-worthy actors, a sport that lends itself to rock-song spiked footage, and a sprinkling of old-fashioned rebelliousness, though, and suddenly the bubbles are back. Motocrossed kicks up a gender-bending mess as cheerleader Andrea (Alana Austin) lops off her golden locks to enter a motocross race as her brother, Andrew, who's injured and can't compete. Mom's complicit, but if Dad, who clearly hasn't screened Yentl in a while, finds out, it's yike-a-roo. Complicating matters and upping race-day tummy rumbling is the crush Andi develops on one of her hoodwinked competitors. In the end--guess what--girls rule, but this movie made for Disney TV manages to ride into the sunset without its predictability flattening what's essentially 90 minutes of frothy, wide-eyed fun. --Tammy La Gorce

Description

The wild world of motocross racing takes an unexpected turn in this action-packed Disney Channel Original Movie. Fifteen-year-old Andrew Carson is gearing up for the championship race that could win him a corporate sponsorship. Certain he'll pull out a victory, his dad sinks the family finances into the race. Meanwhile, twin sister Andrea (Alana Austin, NO PLACE LIKE HOME), also a skilled rider, helps him train on the track, even though their dad would rather see her stick to cheerleading. When Andrew breaks his leg squaring off against Andrea, she blames herself and vows to set things right. That means disguising herself as a guy and entering the race ... as Andrew! But the course hides obstacles she isn't expecting -- like falling for a fellow competitor and learning her dad has discovered the truth! Also starring Scott Terra (TV's 7TH HEAVEN) and Mary-Margaret Humes (TV's DAWSON'S CREEK), MOTOCROSSED drives you all the way to an edge-of-your-seat finish.

One of My Favorite Disney Channel Original Movies.......2004-10-27

This movie was very good! The actors played their parts well, and the story is entertaining from beginning to end. It almost makes you want to get into motocross racing! There was friendship, romance, and of course, motocross, in this well-thought out and family friendly movie. All the characters were enjoyable and easy to relate to. Alana Austin was especially good as Andrea, the main character.

Overall, I would say this was a great movie! But I would rather wait for it to come on Disney Channel then buy it.

Welcome to the high-intensity, high-octane world of Supercross, the extreme sport where gravity knows no limits. Brothers KC and Trip Carlyle are up-and-coming motorcycle racers with limited opportunities, unlimited potential, and dreams of becoming champions. When KC's big break comes in the form of a lucrative, corporate "factory" sponsorship, the brothers are torn apart, becoming bitter rivals both on and off the track. But when a tragic accident threatens their Supercross dreams, the brothers must cast aside their differences -- and fear itself -- to defy the odds and take the checkered flag!

Fun Bike Film.......2007-05-22

i have admitted i like this cheesy fun bike movie. it's put together nicely although i have agree with some of other reviewers that it was'nt the best in terms of story, but hey nobody perfect. i do say that there is enough plot to follow along with it, sure it's like all the other underdog films of the past decade, you can pretty much figure out how it will end. but you will end up cheering for these guys anyway. the stunts in this film are wonderful.

PG-13 For Lauguage.

Highly Recommended For Lazy Afternoon.

Supercross-ed.......2007-05-17

Good movie, good cast, sexy guys and girls. And of course once you add the drama, BOOM..... a movie! It's good to see actors Steve Harvey of 'Reba' and Sophia Bush of 'One Tree Hill' cast as another character and out of their element.

I Be Like Huh?.......2007-01-21

The closest cousin to this film in the family of cinema has to be "You Got Served." Both films place cardboard cutout characters on screen to provide backdrop to a commercial for a niche hobby. The thing that is wrong with this strategy is that everybody involved in these hobbies would probably be offended by the lameness of the movie itself. You just couldn't look at it and be like, "Yeah, that just totally represented what I am all about." Anybody who watches this will recognize it as the utter crap that it is. The only thing that it does right is keep the images flashing in front of your eyeballs fast enough that you don't nod off. That means that I didn't suffer through this the way I would a truly sleep inducing stinker such as "Laura's Star." But just because your eyeballs won't fall asleep doesn't mean that your mind won't because everything about this production is brain dead. The biggest offended is almost certainly the script. Line after line had me pondering just how the script got approval from 20th Century Fox as it truly sounds like it was written by a 3rd grader trying to impress me with his toughness.

We are treated to a tale of two brothers who like to race their bikes. One is studious and sells out as fast as he can, while the other is a slacker thus providing boring and obvious conflict. Once K.C (Steve Howey) sells out he starts in on lecturing his brother on how he needs to grow up and other things of that nature. The implication is clear, he is desired by corporations for his maturity and everybody should fall in line like him. That mindset only lasts so long as his new corporate buddies have only one plan in mind for him and that is wingman to their star Rowdy (Channing Tatum). You know where the story goes from here as we get a lesson on how you should never play second fiddle, which is fine but a little contradictory considering that the film is little more than a wingman for Mountain Dew, Honda, and Papa John's. If you listen closely you can even hear them slip in an ad for Las Vegas ("What happens in Vegas...") that undoubtedly didn't come free.

The whole point is to set up a race (on the biggest stage of them all!) between K.C and his former lord and master. But I didn't care at all. I did spend some time wondering about the racing footage itself as for all I know it was just stock footage considering that it served no purpose plot wise. I was also amused by the perplexing casting decision to pair grizzled, nail spitting Robert Patrick with useless pretty boy Aaron Carter as father and son. In the opening credits Clear Channel showed up, something I had never seen before. Since they are now notorious for backing the wrong war it should come as no surprise that they now backed the wrong movie. Paid for by knuckleheads, made by knuckleheads, for knuckleheads. Watch at your own risk and don't expect anything interesting or in the least bit thought provoking. **

Some Good Stunts, Not Very Good Direction .......2006-10-31

I'll make my review short not to spend too many words on writing about what you have already known. I only say two things; `Supercross' is about the world of Supercross competition, and very short (80 mins). If I may add one more thing, you don't find anything else in the film.

`Supercross' stars two young actors Steve Howey and Mike Vogel as two brothers who race motorcycle, but as you know, the film is made primarily for the purpose of showing the Supercross action scenes. So if the film is virtually full of clichéd items such as brotherly jealousy, father-like mentor, or big competition that concludes the film, it is perfectly OK with me. I actually do not care if one character gets badly injured during a race and is confined to bed, and the same person shows up again, only several days after the terrible accident, walking and even hopping on crutches as if it's only an ankle sprain.

What really matters is the race scenes, which need more improvement. Don't get me wrong here because I am not talking about the races or the stunts themselves. Stunt-turned-director Steve Boyum shows a lot of shots of the Supercross bikes flying in the air, but he shows alarmingly little concern as to how to present them to us viewers. The camera overuses the same angles and the same techniques (like slow motion and fast-forwarding) over and over again. The shots of the dirt race course and the audiences (both real ones, I think) themselves are shot fine enough to convey the feeling of watching the real race, but as the director shows little skills in narrative, we have to listen carefully to the announcer's voice to know who is who, or who is winning.

Those things deprive the film's actions of the dramatic tension of the race scenes. Watching a flying bike may be a really exciting experience, but you need more than that to make the race truly thrilling and exciting. After all you can watch the real ones at the Supercross competition, so why make a movie?

A Simple Twist of Fate, Steve Martin's second adaptation of a classic (after his Roxanne-ization of Cyrano de Bergerac), is a melancholy, dramatic comedy about a recluse coming out of his shell. Suggested by George Eliot's Silas Marner, this isn't a cutesy picture akin to Father of the Bride. It's much more heartfelt, gentle, and satisfying, as long as you accept its traditional and predictable conclusions. Scorned by life, Michael McCann (Martin) lives in an auburn-tinted town and goes on with his colorless life. That is, until an abandoned child is left on his doorstep, and he adopts her. A custody battle ensues years later with far too many cheap, unconvincing courtroom dramatics in which money is the root of all evil, but the tone and wholesomeness of the story are special. Gabriel Byrne pulls off a nearly unplayable role as the town's aristocrat with fine underplayed support by Catherine O'Hara and youngster Alana Austin. The wonderful score is by Cliff Eidelman. --Doug Thomas

Description

Big-screen favorite Steve Martin (FATHER OF THE BRIDE) shines in this heartwarming motion picture about a single dad who discovers the joys and pain of fatherhood after adopting a daughter. All is well with this special relationship until a local politician attempts to come between them. As they fight to remain a family, the bond between father and daughter is strengthened. With an all-star cast that features winning performances from Gabriel Byrne (POINT OF NO RETURN), Stephen Baldwin (THREESOME), and Catherine O'Hara (HOME ALONE), A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE is a captivating movie treat that's sure to entertain you!

A decent take-off on a classic.......2007-04-02

To Rana Blue: This movie is a take off on George Elliot's masterpice, Silas Marner. In that book the girl decides for herself that she will stay with her father rather than go to her biological father's home, but that girl is 16 and there is no custody battle in court (the story is set in England in the 1800s). However, in that story, as in this one, the brother steals the gold and then falls in to the lake and drowns. Mr. Newland didn't remember that he had thrown his brother into the lake because he didn't do it. Just as Matlida could have fallen in when she was a toddler, the brother -- drunk, in the dark and having just left a girl to die in his car -- left McCann's home and stumbled over the cliff. Do you not think a man would remember where he illegally buried his dead brother? The truth is, he didn't know that his brother was dead, and he was probably happy to be rid of him because the brother was the only adult alive who knew the truth about the baby, so he didn't bother to search for him. And the other truth is that the judge let Matilda stay with McCann because he was her father, and once he got his money back and all things were equal between the two men, there was no question as to where Matlida belonged.

Heartwarming Movie.......2007-04-02

This is a great heartwarming movie. I think that Steve Martin is a great actor, and his role in this movie showed that he can play serious, as well as comedy roles. I feel that Steve Martin was the only "real father," in the movie...not the politician who only cared about himself, and only wanted to look impressive in society. And the politician's wife was even worse. I don't want to give away too much information about the movie, but I guarantee that it is well worth buying, and if you sit down and watch the movie from beginning to end, you will enjoy it.

Definitely a Twist of Fate.......2007-03-29

This is a wonderful movie. Steve Martin plays a man who is more interested in his coin collection than he is in human life. Then one night, this all changes. His coin collection is stolen and a baby literally walks into his life. He adopts her because nobody in town will claim her. She's actually a married senator's illegitimate daughter, but he doesn't admit it until the child is 10 years old. This is a movie about the struggle to keep something that is extremely important: human life. It is about the fact that love is more important than the amount of money a person has. I won't say anything else about the movie because you really need to see it for yourself. I looked and looked for this movie for two or three years before it was put onto DVD and is well worth the price that Amazon charges. Buy it today and you'll be glad you did.

Let's face it, Steve Martin is a hack.......2006-08-30

As I've said before, I'm a mild Steve Martin fan, but I'm getting tired of his little pretentious efforts at writing.
His writing is so blunt and thick sometimes, it's like getting hit with a shovel... not so pleasing. The story is pasted together and the dialogue has an artificial feel. Also, any time a story can be best described as a "morality tale", it's going to be boring and obvious. I didn't care to finish the movie. Martin's writing consistently lacks any nuance, cohesion and originality. Passable only as a generic heart tugger this one.

Kids rule; stepmothers, witches, and boogeymen drool (quite literally) in this saucy retelling of the classic Grimm's fairy tale. It's night and the kids are in bed, afraid of the dark. Searching for a favorite bedtime story, their modern-day dad--apparently widowed--finds a mysterious volume, dusts it off, and begins to read aloud. Ironically, this 90-minute tale is anything but soothing. Edgy characters abound, from the ax-wielding stepmother (played by Delta Burke with Miss Piggy flair), to a gun-toting wood fairie and a wicked witch (Lynn Redgrave) who nips from the bottle. Thanks to a rather effeminate Sandman (Howie Mandel channeling interior designer Christopher Lowell), the journey takes many wacky turns but ends on a happy note. Add to this wicked brew several spoonfuls of TV references and potty humor, and the result is a show that 8- to 12-year-olds will lap up. --Liane Thomas

Pure Snoozefest .......2007-05-17

This is one of the all time worst movies, although Material Girls will forever hold the title of Worst Movie Ever. But Hansel & Gretel makes a valiant attempt at capturing that title.

The only reason to actually buy this movie is if you're collecting Daokta Fanning, and she's the film's one redeeming quality. Unfortunately, her role is very small.

If you suffer from insomnia, Hansel & Gretel is the cure you've been looking for.

Hansel & Gretel.......2006-07-06

I really enjoyed this movie, while Howey has changed much from his older comedy routines he is still funny and the rest of the actors add some spice to this satire of an old time classic for the whole family - and that Wood Fairy, WOWZERS!
If you like this one too then you might also be interested in Howey Mandel's "Walk Like A Man", another old time favorite of mine (when Howey had hair!)

Great for all ages.......2005-06-08

Okay, I passed on this one for a while, until I got to see a few clips. All the actors are great and it has just the right touch of satire and unexpected twists to keep your interest.

Delta Burke is perfect. Taylor Momsen shines.

My favorite line of the whole movie--"I see fairytale people" ---delivered by Dakota Fanning--always a great actress in everything she's in.

Highly recommended for your DVD library.

Hansel and Gretel.......2004-10-25

This is a great satire on the traditional version of Hansel and Gretel! My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this video together. He enjoyed the unique characters and I enjoyed the subtle humor of the dialogue. Delta Burke was the perfect evil step-mother and what a witch Vanessa Redgrave made! The closing line delivered by Delta Burke was priceless. All the actors did a fantastic job in making this version of Hansel and Gretel a movie to add to your collection.

Not for Adults.......2004-08-30

My husband and I often enjoy fairy tales and the like. This was an exception. I will admit that 5-11 year olds probably love this, but why suffer thru it with them. If you like this lame movie you'll probably like The Magic of the Leprechauns too. If you want some clever script-writing, adult laughs, and decent acting in the genre, get Jack and the Beanstalk (The Real Story), Tenth Kingdom, or Snow White: The Fairest of them All.

Like the platinum-selling sensation that plays him, J.D. McQueen (Aaron Carter) is a pop star. The livin' is easy until his grades slip, so his mom (Tracy Scoggins) puts an end to the home schooling and sends him off to the local high school. Fellow student Jane Brighton (Alana Austin, who co-starred with Carter in Supercross) is his biggest fan. Unlike J.D., however, she doesn't have any luck with the opposite sex. Despite her blonde good looks, she's a straight-A student and everyone resents her for it. So imagine Jane's surprise when J.D. takes an instant like to her. She's confused, but ecstatic. Then she starts to suspect he's more interested in her as a tutor--and friend--than a girlfriend. Popstar is a sweet-spirited, family-oriented look at the difficulties between balancing young fame and the desire to be a "normal guy." If Carter isn't quite in Austin's league as an actor, his charisma and singing talent helps to balance things out. Featuring the songs "Saturday Night," "Do You Remember," and "One Better." With former teen heartthrobs David Cassidy--channeling The Partridge Family's Reuben Kincaid--as J.D.'s manager and Leif Garrett as a proverb-spouting janitor. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Clean Cute Movie.......2007-05-29

I enjoyed this movie. It was a little contrived and unrealistic, but it was fun and enjoyable. I checked it out at the library and plan to buy it.

It's a movie you will want to watch every once in a while. Some classic scenes. I'll let you watch it to find out which ones those are.

The screenwriter could have done a better job making this well not as stupid. It was still enjoyable regardless.

Cute Flick.......2006-03-20

I stumbled upon this movie at blockbuster, never knew Aaron Carter had even made a movie. Sure it's very perdictable and a little corny in some parts, but it is very cute. It's a good family flick, for those tired of stupid slasher movies or movies that have curse words as every third word. Although there were several vetern actors such as Tom Posley, of Happy Days, fame, and Stella Stevens, who was very popular actor in the 70's and Andrew Stevens, Stellas brother, popular in the 70's were in this film there acting was really toned down I noticed. It is a movie geared to the tweens so maybe that's the reason. Anyway the messages of the film were timeless and without being preachy came across well. Aaron did a good job not a great job but he definitly has potential for becoming a pretty good little actor.

GIVE THE DOG A BONE.......2005-09-24

It's hard to diss a movie made for Animal Planet about a loving dog and its adorable puppies. Suffice to say, THE RETRIEVERS is a movie that even kids might find hard to sit through. Although the dogs are beautiful and the pups cute, they don't DO anything. The movie instead focuses on the humans and they aren't the most engaging of people either. Robert Hays (Airplane, Angie) plays an ad exec who tiring of the rat's race in NYC moves to a little community where he is immediately plunged back into the rat race courtesy of a billionaire client (played somnambulently by Robert Wagner). His adoring wife (Mel Harris, whatever happened to thirtysomething?) meanwhile monitors the precocious and whining children who take in a female golden retriever who happens to have six puppies. Daddy Hays decides they can't keep the pups so they are reluctantly given new homes to such people as Betty White and Leon Russom. The rest of the movie has the kids and parents trying to get the pups back and Dad trying to nail the account. Hays and Harris perform with little energy and the pacing is so slow that it will take a really attentive youngster to stay with it.

Nicole the dog lover!.......2005-08-10

I have this movie! It is a heartwarming story the family will ever love! They are a lot of puppies, a lot of love and attention for them. They found Pilot under the table. When the kids dad (Robert Hays)was on his first day to work, The dog was in the house. The kids wanted to keep him. Their mom said,"Yes!"
The kids were excited! Now it's your turn to watch it then type about it! And if you like The Retrievers, you'll love Miracle Dogs. Micacle Dogs is about a Springer spanlel that had puppies. I don't have Miracle Dogs yet but I might!

This ultrasweet sequel to MIRACLE DOGS brings us two spaniels who have the miraculous ability to heal, and how they stumbled into a young boy's life. Adults may find it saccharine-heavy, but it is a good film for the family to enjoy together. A good cast consisting of Charles Durning, Janine Turner, Patrick Muldoon and an over the top Lesley Ann Warren bring some life to the pedestrian script, and all in all, should be entertaining as family viewing.

Description

Darkness Before Dawn is a story of love, determination and, ultimately, survival. It is the story of a woman trapped in a private hell - with only the man she loves to save her. Mary Ann Thompson (Meredith Baxter, Family Ties, A Passion For Innocence) is a nurse at a methadone clinic, who's haunted by a troubled past. She escapes from her sad childhood memories under the veil of drug addiction. The deception is so successful that no one suspects her of being a junkie. When Mary Ann falls for one of her patients, Guy Grand (Stephen Lang, Manhunter, Last Exit to Brooklyn), her problems begin to escalate. She inspires him to kick his heroin habit, while hiding her own addiction. The two soon marry and are determined to live a clean life. But, when their baby is born addicted to heroin, Mary Ann's worst nightmare becomes a reality. DVD extras include: About the Film, About the Stars, Interactive Menus, Scene Selections

Darkness Before Dawn.......2006-04-02

This is a movie about a nurse who meets a patient at rehab where she works, and decides to go out with him and well things just go down hill from there. He is unstable and can't find a job. Moves in with her and becomes untrustworthy. She's not the "all too clean" nurse that we'd all like to think, that's she's protraying to be-including to her new post rehab boyfriend. Good ol Meredith Baxter she always plays those "crazy" parts so well!!
Good value!

Meredith Baxter's best TV movie.......2005-11-02

I've always loved all of Meredith Baxter's TV movies because she always chose to play such deeply troubled women going through extremely difficult situations- the women she portrayed in these TV movies were the polar opposite of her best known character- Elyse from "Family Ties".

This movie, inwhich she plays a drug addicted nurse who steals from the hospital she works at, is probably the best of all of her TV movies. Just when you think Maryanne has recovered, she relapses. It's incredibly well-done, agonizing, and compelling. Meredith was ROBBED of an Emmy for this one.

The picture quality of this DVD is not only flawless, it's ten times sharper than the version you'll see often shown on Lifetime. Now all they have to do is release "The Kissing Place" (inwhich Meredith plays a kidnapper) and "Kate's Secret" (inwhich she's a bulimic) onto DVD, and all of Meredith's best work will be available on DVD.
