KurtB Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I have not seen it as I cannot find anywhere in the Chicago area showing it. The official web site did not list a single theater in Illinois or Wisconsin that is showing it. As for playing Roger Ebert... He did review it on TV (Sunday) here in Chicagoland both he and Richard Roper thought it was terrible. They said that the acting was shallow (equated it to reading the Dagwood comic strip), and the story line was lacking - paraphrasing the review "How can an adult get so worked up over racing a little wood car? It is just not believable." They also said "the younger the person watching the film, the better." Sounds like it would be a good movie to take a pack of cub scouts to, even if the acting is bad - most of the 1st through 5th graders that I know, don't understand what good acting is. And some of them have seen first hand how out of control an adult can get around PWD time. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
