NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Plustown 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.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

joliefille411 Most of the Disney Channel Movie fodder over the years has been exceptionally gag-worthy. Actors who are at best passable in 24 minute doses become entirely unbearable in a 2 hour span. Motocrossed is one of the few exceptions, perhaps because I did not recognize anyone from the normal talent(less) pool.But I think the best reason is the engaging story, which (surprise) actually seems to be ripped off from one of the greatest comedies written, Twelfth Night. Tweak a few names and lose a couple of racing bikes and suddenly we're back listening to the bard. Think about it: Andrea pretends to be her injured brother to uphold her family's living just as Viola assumes her brother's identity when he disappears to earn a livelihood. She falls for another racer who thinks she's a dude and ends up having to woo another girl for him, just as Viola tried to woo Olivia for the Duke. Much confusion ensues before finally revealing that *gasp* she's a girl after all and can now legitimately hook up with her man.It's actually nice having a modern version of the story, and although She's the Man is definitely the better, I would recommend this title to families over the sexed-up Amanda Bynes version. It would actually be an easily digestible way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare and prove he's not so boring after all. So if you ever get stuck looking after a Disney-obsessed kid, hope this one comes on. It may just make the time passable.

pandora8 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.

jenmm_20 This movie is so not like Mulan. In Mulan a girl pretends to be HER FATHER and then works hard to become a good soldier. But in motocrossed a girl pretends to be her BROTHER and does something she already knew how to do and didn't have to work really hard like Mulan did because she knew what she was doing and in Mulan she didn't know what to expect or anything. so there is a BIG difference between Mulan and Motocrossed. And the Disney Channel original movies are so not all the same. maybe you should watch more than once. like get a clue the plot was so NOT predictable.

voyager1-3 What impressed me the most about this movie was the positive relationship between the family members, the encouragement they give each other, and how they work together for a common goal. It seems perfectly natural, in this day and age, that Andrea should want to race, so the feminist theme, handled humorously at first with the references to "chicks", didn't seem like a war cry. In a different story-line, an undisguised Andrea might act more macho than the male riders as she shows them who's boss, whereas in this story she doesn't act macho even when disguised as Andrew. She is the same person either way. She just wants the playing field level. If there is a lesson here, it is for die-hard feminists as well as male chauvinists.
