A real treat!...A+...10 out of 10

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2006)

What a great movie...nothing is better than true-life stories, this being one of the best. Expertly cast and acted, Anthony Hopkins brings Burt Munro's colorful life delivered to you warmed up right off the radiator.
Great cars, great bikes, crazy experiences are everywhere in this movie.
The character actors are right out 1966. There some minor anachronisms, (modern road signage, some production stuff that is wrong, but the story, filming, music, and characters are so good, that stuff fades away.
Overall, I absolutely loved it. Totally suitable for 9 year olds on up, too. A couple of small sex references, but easy to just ignore.
