    Actually not bad. The best racecar movie I've seen thus far.

    Kenny Rogers plays Brewster Baker, a Race Car Driver who takes in Six foul-mouthed kids who steal his engine. He teaches them a few lessons, and they help him win the Nascar circuit. Erin Gray appears as Brewster's girlfriend. This is not really a family movie. It's a country-sty... read morele comedy similar to a Dukes of Hazzard episode. I watch it for Kenny Rogers.

    The movie my parents made me see instead of what I wanted to see, Blade Runner. We were in the states to, so I could have seen a rated R movie with a guardian. It turns out this movie had a lot more profanity, which as a kid I loved, and I remember enjoying it a fair bit despit... read moree my disappointment. And it has the classic Kenny song, "Love Will Turn You Around" so that makes it pretty awesome too.

    Before being maimed by countless plastic surgeries, before the fried chicken and the realization that his music was country music's version of John Tesh, Kenny Rogers made this silly, feel-good family flick. To me it felt like Grizzly Adams trying to find reverse in a stock car: ... read morepointless and just out of place.

    It's a Kenny Rogers movie about stock car racing and orphaned children who happen to know a lot about fixing up cars. I think that's going to determine who's going to watch it or not in the first place. And it's about what you'd expect. Like George Strait in "Pure Country", Ke... read morenny Rogers isn't gifted as an actor, but he's likeable, and that's probably enough to carry the movie. There are no big surprises here. Actually, there aren't any surprises here. Again, it's a Kenny Rogers about stock car racing and orphans who happen to know a lot about fixing cars. I think you can figure out what happens. But for nostalgia's sake, I mean you get to see a young Kenny Rogers, a young Erin Gray, a young Anthony Michael Hall, a young Diane Lane, and none of them embarrass themselves in a movie that could be pretty embarrassing. It's actually a pretty sweet-natured, fairly bland comedy. You could do a lot worse. My only real complaint is that Kenny Rogers doesn't sing in the movie. He sings the theme song, but I mean c'mon, with a storyline this contrived, why not add that extra detail that Brewster Baker also happens to be a talented singer who breaks out into song at one of the honky-tonks he visits? Give the kids what they want, dammit!

    Good movie to watch when you just want to be entertained without having to invest a lot of mental energy

    A great movie starring Country singer Kenny Rogers as Brewster Baker who is a race car driver meets 6 orphans who are great mechanics. Over time, they develope a friendship and have to deal with a crooked sheriff. Another underrated film from the 1980s.
