Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

R.S.Hall Solid movie with good talent. CGI could have been better , or left out in the first place. Even with a low budget ... the race cars used were Wicked real life machines. The main actors were all likable and the cameos from a Rock Star and real world Drag Racer worked just fine. This is great Gearhead family entertainment.

nm4701284 A good film. In my set of values, it deserves a 10. Why? It has everything that a good film has to have: good story, motivation,good cinematography, good acting, great set with lots of action and of course, something that a lot of productions lack... moral.Now: I love the story. Yes, it might not be told in the typical Hollywood style with a lot of CGI and explosions (don't expect the Fast and Furious saga - it wasn't made with that purpose), but it's exactly what you'd like to watch. A film that tells a story of redemption, of hope and freedom.I have to say that I loved 3 characters: - the "uncle" played by John Schneider who did a beautiful job in making the character seem so real and so natural - the "patient" played by Gregory Alan Williams who made me smile the moment he open his mouth. He made me smile because the kindness and the wisdom was shining. Great character cover. I followed him throughout the film and every time when he was on screen I had a smile on my face... from various reasons - the "track guy" played by Mark Jeffrey Miller who fit those overalls not just with his physic but with his entire talent. Love how he nailed the accent and the looksI will not say anything about the story because I want to let you enjoy it to the max, but there are a lot of elements that will jump at you from the dialogue and from the action.Yes, could the film be made better? Yes, like any other film. You know how it is: every time when you finish something and you deliver you think of improvements. But, as I said: it's a 10 for me because it has all the elements a good film should have.Enjoy! :)

bluecuda1 Surprisingly good film considering the negative reviews posted here, I guess haters will be haters. Hardly a film to be compared to the Fast and Furious considering the budgets. Completely disagree with most of their assessments. I saw this in theaters and there was a standing ovation so maybe I'm not alone in my opinions. However having said that, I found it well paced, well shot, good acting, and music fit genre. The story rings true for many and having lost friends to Motorsports related accidents or those that were injured from them, I think it explores an interesting perspective. It did have some clichés but not in bad taste and really hardly any films don't lack clichés these days anyway. It is also nice to see a car film that uses real believable race car action rather than "super hero type" stunts that could never happen in reality (although entertaining). Maybe not a film for today's theaters big budget huge action type films, but a great film for television. Worth watching.

garyrob2008 So bad that I'm not even sure where to start. The first thing I'll say is don't waste your time unless you're willing to sit through an abundance of cliché's that come one after another from start to finish. I typically only write a review in situations that warrant a red flag, so that viewers don't waste their time.This movie runs the gamut on just about everything, poorly written, poor choice of actors, a film score that just doesn't belong with the story, etc. etc... If you're a "gear head" then you're going to be even more disappointed because a lot of the mechanical references are flat out laughable to the point you would actually be embarrassed for the actor/character.I'm pretty sure I could grab some local racers and make an equally as bad movie, but for a lot less money. I'll even go out on a limb and say my actors/characters could deliver funnier lines without all the cliché's added in. To sum this up....go take the dog for a walk or play a board game with your kids/friends!!
