If you love Kawasakis, Hondas, and Yamahas, and don't mind tin-eared writing, get down to the multiplex.

That's right, it's time for yet another entry in that most-dreaded of genres: The XXXTREME Sports Movie.

| Jun 10, 2013

It might hold some appeal if you're as teenager with a thing for dirt bikes.

| Jun 10, 2013

It's a bizarre, contradictory mess, a lousy promotion for a sport still unknown to many Americans

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 10, 2013

Finally, we get Supercross: The Movie, which basically fills in the holes Supercross: The Novel left behind.

| Apr 29, 2009

As a fetishized appropriation of the extreme sport of Supercross motorcycle racing, for a story about two different-but-similar racing brothers, "Supercross" succeeds in combining fast action with slow burn emotional fuses.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 15, 2009

You could see the same thing for free -- with higher production values and snappier dialogue -- watching X Games coverage on ESPN.

Mercifully, it's a mad dash to the final finish line.

| Mar 1, 2007

Like the drive-in classics of Roger Corman and Samuel Z. Arkoff, this develops the principal characters and conflicts with just enough depth and keeps the narrative moving at a brisk pace.

| Jan 8, 2007

This action-packed dirt bike adventure is way too formulaic for even the dopiest of dopes.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 21, 2006

The cinematography has the cheap, washed-out look of old home movies, but director Steve Boyum provides some exciting race footage to pass the time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

Too bad the DVD doesn't just cut out all the exposition and plot and (yikes) the actors

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 3, 2006

Save your hate-mails, motorheads. I'm not knocking your favorite sport, just the amazingly brain-dead movie that it inspired.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 30, 2006

Supercross has its charms for those who appreciate cinematic innocence, and as a love letter to its subject certainly registers as sincere.

| Dec 4, 2005

Only the most devoted MX fetishists could like the film, because it doesn't offer a scrap of nourishment for the uninitiated.

| Sep 26, 2005

A short and frantic cookie cutter of a sports movie that will please fans of the sport, but probably won't bring more to the fray.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2005

I've made bologna sandwiches that inspired more enthusiasm.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 30, 2005

Part advertisement for Clear Channel's Supercross broadcasts and part hellish miscalculation on the part of the producers.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 28, 2005

When the first line of a movie is "My name is Trip Carlyle," you know you're in trouble. That sounds like a guy stuck in the '80s with a made up name.
