sebastian-495-910898 Born to race is essentially the street racing movie that can relate to real life. Not only is "Need for Speed" and the "F&F" series unrealistic (still great!), but neither of those use realistic cars that you can typically get(veyrons, 911gt3s etc.). Born to Race uses cars like imprezas and mustangs. This makes it so that teenagers and the younger drivers can actually see themselves with these cars and relate. Of course we can't and won't street race, but its still nice to see a car like yours being focused on in the movie. Those are not spoilers, its in the description of the movie... It is an enjoyable movie for a Sunday night or an airplane flight. Whether its flashy enough for a theater; your choice. Although I do not regret watching it, parts were a bit sappy. Only certain lines though, and this happens in all movies anyways so why complain. I held back on these kinds of smaller racing movies because I was attached to the big one; Fast and Furious. After watching this, it really was worth seeing.

tony-clifton .. and that's not a bad thing. Most car movies out there are entertainment-only movies for the general audience, so they are full of hammy dialog, hammy acting, hammy directing and inaccuracies about cars.This is fairly accurate about cars (not perfect, but not outrageous either), has some hammy dialog but the acting and directing are quite competent compared with the Fast and the Furious.I highly recommend this film for lovers of cars and drag racing in particular. It's also good to see street racers take it to the track like they should; although there are scenes of irresponsible driving, those scenes don't go well for the main character and the movie leads the audience morally in the right direction: to the track.

Trev Deer Almost as interesting as flies crawling up a wall. The main character is whining and has all the acting ability of a walnut.The movie is aspiring to be 2nd rate, the racing artificial and the love interest tween. We can neglect the fact that it glorifies teen stupidity at its finest. And when has ANY sanctioned competition in drag racing ever taken place without helmets, flameproof gear and other essential race safety gear. The story glorifies the lack of thought given by teens to anything beyond their own hedonistic pursuits.The value of this movie is as an object lesson in abject stupidity. Irresponsible and forced are the best words to describe this farce.

ibebriguy You won't regret seeing this movie if you enjoy car racing and seeing bullies get their just due. I must admit I enjoyed this movie, although it followed the usual template of obnoxious young bullies, father who is "mean" in his son's eyes for not giving in to every little whim of his son,and teenage romance. The acting was not first rate, but passable. I would have liked to see more hard core car racing beyond mountainside twists and turns and drag strip straightaways. For example, the "drifting" in the parking garages in "Tokyo Drift" was amazing, and not seen in this movie. Although the movie was not a great love story, not a great car movie, and not a great revenge movie against bullies, it somehow worked in the end , and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
