Well, I disagree. I think Speedway Junky was very well acted.
Jordan Brower's heart-felt unrequited love really getting to me. I ended up wishing there was a boy out there like that for me. Daryl Hannah had a good supporting role, as did Jesse.
I thought it was very well done. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely worth watching. I loved it.
