Motocrossed (2001)

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.

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.

I thought that I wouldn't like this movie at all then I saw it and it was one of my favorite Disney movies. It was my first time seeing motorcycle racing and after I saw it I love to watch racing. The movie is a great one to watch and it is exciting. The acting is good and the guys are hott!!

Like in other comments that I have put out, I have said that I like the music better than the movie itself. In this case, I like them both. I agree with some other people that the music is good because it has a variety such as soothing, rock, MST, instrumental, etc. I have seen this movie about 10 or 15 times and I always say, "Oooh, yey! Motocrossed is on!" I say that because I am also 12 years old. And being at the age where I am supposed to like this sort of movie, I did. Alana Austin (Andi Carson) did a great job of Andi. Although to me it is obvious that she was at least 3 or 4 years older than she is in the movie. I read other comments and they say that "Jason", played by Scott Terra, is 9? In real life, he 13 or 14 when the filming of that movie took place. So I recommend this movie out to everyone! But I have to agree with the other users, this movie is a bit predictable. 10/10
