A Surprisingly Good Film

I've never been a big fan of Disney Channel Original Movies, and for good reason as most of them are cheesy meaningless movies made to keep young kids occupied. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when I caught the middle of the movie accidentally one day while flipping channels. After seeing the last half of the movie, I just had to see the beginning so I found out when it was coming on again and watched it again from the very beginning. Upon doing so, I discovered that the movie is actually quite good and I definitely recommend it to those who are interested in motocross and are also into family movies. I liked the girl power aspect as well as the family togetherness; it's quite amazing how the whole family stuck together at the end, and I found it so awesome that Andrea was good at Motocross but could still be a typical girl at the same time. It shows that girls can be good at sports and not look like tomboys. Also, the casting directors should be commended because they picked a fine cast of talented young people. This movie has a good message for the whole family and although the twins in the movie looked almost nothing alike, and Andrea would never be able to pass for Andrew in real life, sticking around for the ending is definitely well worth it. I give this movie 8/10 stars.
