Hot Water

You can always tell when the cast, production crew, or friends of the film makers review their CRAP movies (see a couple of the other reviews). IF this movie is a 9 or 10 stars (as they gave it), then a movie like Gone With the Wind, Sound of Music, Oliver, or any ACTUAL very highly rated movie would be about 9,999,999 stars. The ONLY way this movie deserves a 9 or 10 star rating is if the highest possible rating is 10,000,000. THEN the 9 or 10 MIGHT be accurate. Plotless, pointless, pathetic. Go rent a copy of the 1988 movie "Hot To Trot" with Bobcat Goldthwait. Watch this first, then "Hot To Trot" WILL seem like a 10 of 10!

With everything going on in the world right now, this movie is just what's needed to unwind, have some fun and laugh! Gorgeous scenery, great skiing and just a nice all around movie to watch with friends.

Some may have found the scene with the dinosaur somewhat funny. I did, but there was nothing else in the entire rest of the movie anyone could honestly say deserved more than even a slight chuckle. Someone needs to correct the list under Genre so it reads Sports-Drama-Sadness because one 'sort of funny' scene does not make a comedy movie. All you do is feel sorry for the boy until near the end of the movie. The racing was okay and because of that I gave this movie a 4.

If you're looking for a night of pure guilty pleasure entertainment this is your movie. Some laugh out loud moments and great one-liners that my friends & I are already quoting. The racing action is great, putting you right in the middle of the adrenaline. Even more surprising, as the movie progresses the storyline has heart and really pulls you in. Watched it twice already and just ordered the DVD.

I wasn't expecting anything earth shattering or worthy of those disingenuous Hollywood awards that so many people seem to love in movies these days. I just enjoyed this movie because it's light, it's simple, and it has a nice even pace. Not every film or book will change the world, but that doesn't mean they can't get a good rating and a good review. It thought it was an enjoyable evening.
