Motocrossed (2001)

Powerful

How sad is this?

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Right off the bat, I want to say that i am trying my best not to include any spoilers to the movie.This movie has almost no flaws! I think it has great acting, a lot of humor, and just enough action to keep you watching.It also supports the whole "women's rights" thing, but, hey, that's not my thing, being only 16... I remember taping this movie like 4 times because it just didn't want to work... it's also one of the only classic DCOM movies that they show without it being Halloween or Christmas...The only person who wouldn't like this movie is someone who doesn't like romance, humor, or dirt bikes...And also, if you don't like this movie, go to your local dealer and see if you can get a test drive... i know most people live in the city these days, but there are tons of trails that you can go to to have some good old not-so-clean fun! And don't worry... no musical numbers!

This movie is so not like Mulan. In Mulan a girl pretends to be HER FATHER and then works hard to become a good soldier. But in motocrossed a girl pretends to be her BROTHER and does something she already knew how to do and didn't have to work really hard like Mulan did because she knew what she was doing and in Mulan she didn't know what to expect or anything. so there is a BIG difference between Mulan and Motocrossed. And the Disney Channel original movies are so not all the same. maybe you should watch more than once. like get a clue the plot was so NOT predictable.

I can't believe my eyes when I read some of the user comments here about this Disney tv movie "Motocrossed" with some saying this is the best Disney movie ever.Have some of these characters left their wits at the door or haven't they heard of "Treasure Island"?Motocrossed is the old switcheroo story of a girl(Alana Austin)taking over for her injured brother at motorcross racing and fooling everyone who thinks she is a boy and winning the big race and the big stud at the end too.Such creativity.Most who like this tripe believe that what a boy can do a girl can do,that is the message of the film here.But this isn't always true.Especially with motorcross racing,you just can't become the best in ten minutes.Yet the story has this girl cheerleader beating out her male counterparts with ease with little or no training.That sound you just heard was Walt Disney flipping over in his grave. The feminists types,of both sexes,could enjoy this movie no doubt but the best part of Motocrossed came at the beginning when the cheerleader sequence was shown to us in slow motion no less.There should have been more of that in this movie rather than the feminist nonsense that was actually presented.

What impressed me the most about this movie was the positive relationship between the family members, the encouragement they give each other, and how they work together for a common goal. It seems perfectly natural, in this day and age, that Andrea should want to race, so the feminist theme, handled humorously at first with the references to "chicks", didn't seem like a war cry. In a different story-line, an undisguised Andrea might act more macho than the male riders as she shows them who's boss, whereas in this story she doesn't act macho even when disguised as Andrew. She is the same person either way. She just wants the playing field level. If there is a lesson here, it is for die-hard feminists as well as male chauvinists.
