Move over Evil Knievel, Burt Munro is in town!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2006)

This was a good FEEL GOOD movie. It was sooo feel good that I was shocked. There was not a single scene of animosity other than when the biker hoods at the beginning tossed drinks into folks faces who were at Burt's birthday party. That was the only major scene. The rest of the movie was about Burt's inner journey and outward journey to achieve this dream he has of riding a motorcycle over 200 mph. I would like to see a Harley do that! Many good scenes were in this movie and the friend's that Burt made along the way, such as Jake the Indian were only adding to the wonderful tone of TWFI. Yes, Hannibal Lector was the main character. However, you could not see any resemblance to him. There was one scene which was a nod to Silence of the Lambs but it was very subdued. I would suggest that everybody sees this movie. The way he rode that motor sickle was just incredible. I just hope that soldier didn't die in Vietnam man!
