Summary: "American Flyers" is for cyclists
Review: If you enjoy cycling in any way, recreational or competitive, and enjoyed Hoosiers, then American Flyers is just what the doctor ordered. While the acting isn't Oscar quality, and the music is dated, this is still a feel good movie that will make you smile, and maybe even cry. The story is somewhat predictable, but that does not get in the way of the effectiveness of the movie or the emotion that it evokes. The bottom line: if you like to see fast-paced cycling action and great Colorado scenery, then buy this movie.

Summary: In the Age of Lemond...
Review: In the prime of Greg Lemond's career, this cycling movie was made... none since then- However, this movie delivers an interesting backdrop to a movie, which is at times, too incredibly dramatic- Stellar cylicing flick! Watch your line! A feel-good movie.

Summary: Nice to watch, easy to remember.
Review: Just a nice simple movie, no intrigues or too many characters to remember. The kind of movie I would recommend for families. Sensitive and heart-warming, makes you teary-eyed, but leaves you with a good feeling.

Summary: Pretty good, especially if you are a bicycling fan.
Review: Kevin Costner (before he was famous) starts in this movie about bicycling brothers. Not bad.

Summary: American Flyer...
Review: O.K. I'm biased. I grew up in Colorado and was very involved with the cycling world during the late 70's and early 80's. Watching this movie takes me right back to those times and I enjoy it. Many of the scenes, including the hotel scene with the TV broadcast of the Star Spangle Banner and blatant display of the KBPI banner at the beginning of the first leg of the race, tap right into things I remember only too well from my youth. (Not to mention the girl with the streak in her hair ... I had a similar one at that time myself ...) I'm also a Costner fan and feel that any Costner collection cannot be complete without this movie. That said ...Yes, the movie is dated. Yes the movie is predictable. Yes, some of the acting is cheesey. And yes, it's an inspirational movie despite all that. I really enjoy this movie and manage to toss it into the VCR twice a year or so if for no other reason that I love to see the Colorado scenery go by during the race scenes and to hear the Star Spangled Banner .... Hey, they are playing our song!

Summary: This is a feel good movie...one worth watching over and over
Review: One of those movies that you can enjoy watching over again. This movie leaves you feeling good. If you are any type of bicyclist at all or just enjoy a little competition, this movie is for you. Good characters, good music, good bicycling action. This is a must see movie. You won't be dissappointed.

Summary: Life, Growth, and a bicycle
Review: Personally, I prefer this film to "Breaking Away" because it gets to the inside of both disfunctional families and bicycle racing. Okay, I'm a "bike person" and this is one of my "inspirational" films. However, at it's core, it's really about healing broken relationships. Like real life, the bicycle is only a vehicle that helps you get from one place to anohther. To a cyclist, it can be inspiring, yet to everyone it tells a deeper story.

Summary: Hell of the west
Review: Some guys shave their legs and then drive cross country to ride up hill against a crazy guy and a Russian. Sassy Kevin Costner has worms in his ears and it's up to his little brother who is a loner to win the big race and bring the family back togther. The old chick from Baywatch gets naked in this flick and has a nice young rack. And he runs on a tredmill for 25 minutes.

Summary: Since watching this film I only wear Lycra
Review: The Flyers. What a movie! I was a 14 stone mass of loose flesh until I saw that film now I'm trim. tanned and terrrific. I love Kevin and I cried in Waterworld, but the Am Flys were the greatest. Keep peddlin'.

Summary: HOLD YOUR LINE!!
Review: This movie is entertaining. The plot is a little predictable, and the acting (including Kevin C.) is pretty lame/corny! There were a few times that the actors could have held their line (dialogue). But, if you're a cyclist, it's a must see! Sit back and enjoy...and hold your line!!
