Moral high grounds

Rating: 4/10 (28 April 2019)

"Over the top" tells the story of a strong and independent trucker, that all of a sudden gets a chance to meet his long lost son. Unfortunately, the boy has been raised in the high society and has a tough time accepting his dad. Will they be able to find together?
There's so much moral in this movie that you feel like after a preach once you've finished. It's rebellious without rebellion, confronts the high society without losing them and thus remains pretty harmless. The son is like out of a cartoon and quite exhausting. Otherwise it is a well-known story, solidly told and entertaining enough to keep you from boredom most of the time, even though you can feel the age.
All in all a little less important messages would have suited the film well and more plausible and multidimensional characters would have done the rest. As it is it is an okay film, but you have to be a fan to really fully enjoy it.
