Poor Bet - Younger kids will hate how loud this film is, and are likely to suffer hearing problems from the sounds of the race cars' high rpm. Some profanity, but minimal. No sex, but a few kisses to let us know who is with who. Not nearly as much cleavage and naughty behavior as one might expect from a movie about race car drivers and the fast lives they lead. Pre-teens should handle this one okay, and might be influenced tremendously by it.
Teenagers are sure to dig the egotistical attitudes that are part of the auto racing world.
Xers are likely to be relieved over Sly Stallone's more subtle role this time, but are likely to feel the story could have been better. A big plus for Gen Xers will be the soundtrack featuring such artists as Crystal Method, Filter, Fat Boy Slim and the Chemical Brothers. Driven even more, simply because the story offers a more jubilant sense of victory and healthy competition, and less underhanded characters and plot lines. Older movie goers will enjoy this fast-paced racing flick, unless they have trouble coping with the loud music and the tire squealing. This film shows many car accidents, from fender benders to extreme fatal crashes.
