What a ride

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2007)

Its taken me a while to finally watch this movie. Unfortunately it did not interest me initially and no-one really recommended it to me. As I normally do, I did my weekly search at my local video store to try and find a bargain in the ex-rental bin when I came across this movie. Thank goodness I bought it. Its one of the most uplifting, funniest and entertaining movies I have ever seen. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant as Burt Munro, a man chasing a dream and not letting anything get in the way.
Burt is one of the most honest and genuine human beings you would ever come across and this seems to always get him over the line as he travels towards his objective of testing his Indian motorcycle on the famous Boneville salt flats. The way he gets to his destination is nothing short of astounding, and very believable. When he gets there he must fight another battle and again his honest nature triumphs over everything that is thrown at him.
I really loved this Movie and would recommend it to anyone. It makes you laugh and cry at the same time and leaves you wanting to recommend it to all your friends.
Its a great Movie and Anthony Hopkins was made for the role.
I'm sure that if you reading this you have most likely seen the Movie. If you have not, do yourself a favor, and if you can watch it with someone, so that you can share the ride.
