![]() ![]() ![]() She's a cheerleader, she owns pillows shaped like flowers, paints her nails, and, oh, yeah, she can Motocross like nobody's business. I give this movie 8/10 stars.Īndrea "Andi" Carson (Alana Austin) is an average teenage girl. 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. Also, the casting directors should be commended because they picked a fine cast of talented young people. It shows that girls can be good at sports and not look like tomboys. 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. 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. 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. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when I caught the middle of the movie accidentally one day while flipping channels. 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. So if you ever get stuck looking after a Disney-obsessed kid, hope this one comes on. It would actually be an easily digestible way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare and prove he's not so boring after all. It's actually nice having a modern version of the story, and although She's the Man is definitely the better, I would recommend this title to families over the sexed-up Amanda Bynes version. Much confusion ensues before finally revealing that *gasp* she's a girl after all and can now legitimately hook up with her man. She falls for another racer who thinks she's a dude and ends up having to woo another girl for him, just as Viola tried to woo Olivia for the Duke. Think about it: Andrea pretends to be her injured brother to uphold her family's living just as Viola assumes her brother's identity when he disappears to earn a livelihood. Tweak a few names and lose a couple of racing bikes and suddenly we're back listening to the bard. But I think the best reason is the engaging story, which (surprise) actually seems to be ripped off from one of the greatest comedies written, Twelfth Night. Motocrossed is one of the few exceptions, perhaps because I did not recognize anyone from the normal talent(less) pool. Actors who are at best passable in 24 minute doses become entirely unbearable in a 2 hour span. Most of the Disney Channel Movie fodder over the years has been exceptionally gag-worthy. ![]()
