Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
bkoganbing 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.
willewings Right off the bat, I want to say that i am trying my best not to include any spoilers to the movie.This movie has almost no flaws! I think it has great acting, a lot of humor, and just enough action to keep you watching.It also supports the whole "women's rights" thing, but, hey, that's not my thing, being only 16... I remember taping this movie like 4 times because it just didn't want to work... it's also one of the only classic DCOM movies that they show without it being Halloween or Christmas...The only person who wouldn't like this movie is someone who doesn't like romance, humor, or dirt bikes...And also, if you don't like this movie, go to your local dealer and see if you can get a test drive... i know most people live in the city these days, but there are tons of trails that you can go to to have some good old not-so-clean fun! And don't worry... no musical numbers!
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.
pooh-24 I can't believe my eyes when I read some of the user comments here about this Disney tv movie "Motocrossed" with some saying this is the best Disney movie ever.Have some of these characters left their wits at the door or haven't they heard of "Treasure Island"?Motocrossed is the old switcheroo story of a girl(Alana Austin)taking over for her injured brother at motorcross racing and fooling everyone who thinks she is a boy and winning the big race and the big stud at the end too.Such creativity.Most who like this tripe believe that what a boy can do a girl can do,that is the message of the film here.But this isn't always true.Especially with motorcross racing,you just can't become the best in ten minutes.Yet the story has this girl cheerleader beating out her male counterparts with ease with little or no training.That sound you just heard was Walt Disney flipping over in his grave. The feminists types,of both sexes,could enjoy this movie no doubt but the best part of Motocrossed came at the beginning when the cheerleader sequence was shown to us in slow motion no less.There should have been more of that in this movie rather than the feminist nonsense that was actually presented.
