Critic Reviews

Joe Leydon

A modestly amusing family-friendly comedy about a miniature car race that brings out the worst in overzealous fathers who compete with each other through their children. Read full review

Kevin Crust

The cartoonish movie might have made for a funny half-hour short or sitcom pilot but runs out of track well before its conclusion. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

It's when adults with whitewashed notions of childhood get hold of a camera that kiddie fare - like this uninspired effort from writer-director Eric Hendershoot - goes limp. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Crammed with charmless characters and/or hammy performances. Read full review

Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson

You will regret paying money to see something that unfolds rather like something you'd watch on TV when you're ill and bedridden and confronted with nothing else but daytime soaps. Read full review
