Synopsis: Erica Enders (Beverley Mitchell, _7th Heaven_) wants to follow in her father's footsteps and become a champion drag racer! The only problem is: Drag racing is a male-dominated sport! Determined to prove she has what it takes to keep up with the boys, she practices hard and wins many a race, inspiring her little sister, Courtney (Brie Larson), to follow in her footsteps. However, school, relationships, and other teenage issues get in the way of Erica's dream. Will she give up drag racing in order to be a normal kid? Based on a true story. The Good: Okay, so, I'm not the target audience for this movie. Still, I found Erica and Courtney to be likable protagonists, and the story to be inspiring, especially since it's true. The race scenes were nicely done; it helped that the real Enders sisters served as stunt doubles for the actors playing them. A scene showing Erica refusing to cheat to get ahead was a big plus. The Bad: As good as this was, it was a bit pokey at times; it could have used more racing action and less school and home scenes. Still, that's a minor complaint. Conclusion: This movie was advertised on Disney Channel like crazy back when I first got into _Lizzie McGuire_; however, after a bad experience with the DCOM _You Wish!_, I passed on it...until it became available on iTunes; then, it sat on my hard drive for a while...until this past week, when I watched it in its entirety and had fun with it. I doubt I'll watch it again, but it was great for what it was. Score: 4/5
I am not a sporty person at all, however I love this movie. Girl Power!
