A Truly Wonderful Movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

A very moving story inspired by the life and feats of Burt Munro. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant, the story is engaging and the photography is superb. There is something for everyone: human interest, drama, light comedy, excitement, competition, cooperation, friendship, acceptance, and a pretty cool motorcycle! I would recommend this film to anyone.

If it weren't for the unnecessary urination sequences (lemon tree, salt flats) and the two gratuitous implied sex scenes, I would say it was a perfect movie - deserving of a 12, perhaps 15!
