Summary: A sunny smile
Review: While this film is typical of its mighty ducks type genre, it was still a pleasurable view. The plot was nothing special, but it was a feel good movie. As usual, Dion Basco is in fine form in his nearly patented portrayal of the loveable slacker. The rest of the case is enjoyable as well, and this film is great for younger viewers, with "you can do whatever you can dream" and "never quit" messages sprinkled liberally throughtout. Even older viewers should enjoy it, if they don't expect any deep revelation from it.

Summary: We watched this for science class...and wow!
Review: Wow, we just watched this today in science and I was amazed. This movie is really entertaining, with a cast of some major actors to back it up (Jim Belushi, Halle Berry and Casey Affleck who is Ben Affleck's younger brother). The story is really inspirational. Based on a true story, it follows a group of high school students who come together in detention class. Things happen in the beginning, giving these kids the motivation to build a solar car and race in the world championships. After overcoming many obstacles, the team eventually makes it into the big games.
Here's where things get interesting, as we look into each character's personality. For instance, we have the stereotypical fat guy whom no one would expect to fit into a car, let alone race. Then there's the troubled girl with the alcohol problem, who gets disqualified from the races. Next comes the nerdy girl, who finds love in interestig places.
Jim Belushi and Halle Berry once again prove how good they truly are in this wonderful movie (based on a true story). I hope everybody watches this because it is really exceptional.
