Storyline

Fourteen-year-old Alice could have been the most popular kid in her small town, but her father's marriage has landed her in the "Big City". Alice immediately runs in to trouble with the school bully Rick. No matter what Alice does, Rick and his thugs are relentless in terrorizing the young girl and her new friends. The only way to put Rick in his place is to beat him at his own game, go kart racing. Equipped with only an old broken go kart, Alice and her friends have nowhere to turn but to Dom, an older kid who used to be the "Go Kart King". As Dom teaches Alice that go kart racing is not about just going fast, but maturity and calm, Alice realizes that facing down the bullies will be the biggest challenge of her life.

User Reviews

Bad movie! Just poorly done, period.

Disclaimer: I saw about 10 minutes of this movie.

Okay, a movie about go-kart racing, and I'm a huge racing fan--it's got to be good! Except... first, when I turn it on, there are 2-stroke carts racing. But the soundtrack is some kind of low rpm 4-stroke, sounds more like a water pump engine chugging away. Maybe a farm tractor at almost constant rpm. Every now and then you can hear an actual kart engine in the background that I guess they forgot to cut out or something. It's horrible. Then there's the end of the race. Someone wins (hope that's not considered a spoiler), but it's completely unclear who wins from the camera work.

Next, some horrible dialogue and someone punches someone else and starry-eyed girl... Okay, I can't write anymore. I have seen MUCH better high school plays. This was a horribly done movie, and I am absolutely positive of that in only seeing 10 minutes.
