What A Great Ride!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

I had so much fun watching this movie that I went back 9 more times! I made sure that I took different friends every time and none of them ever complained either. Three of them were indifferent, but the other six said they honestly got a kick out of it the high energy, special effects, beautiful people and beautiful cars!
I loved TFATF because it never pretended to be anything more than what it turned out to be..... A great action flick with lots of speed and color. No one was pretending this was Shakespeare, but each actor gave his/her performance his/her best shots. Yes, they are "callow youths" and the story was pretty much unbelievable, but hey!! That is why I go to movies. I go to suspend belief and be entertained and amused. When I want to get intellectual and "think", I stay home and read a serious book.

I loved this lightweight piece of fluff. It was great fun and I made sure to buy the DVD when it came out so that I can revisit the color, action and speed whenever I please. God bless Rob Cohen, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and all those beautiful vehicular bullets in The Fast and The Furious!
