    Poor Everything

    Some of the worst acting, directing, and screenplay I have ever seen. What a huge disappointment. That's a couple of hours I'll never get back. Not to mention it's totally predictable.

    Predictable..and boring...oh so boring

    The interaction between father and son was so maudlin and sappy I thought I was watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. We all new they'd win the final race, they always do, but give us a story. Down and out, not enough to money to compete against the big boys, finds the money, wins the race, smiles all around. Like watching the movie Titanic, we all knew the ship sank, and we all knew they'd win. Kevin Dunn's "Stumpy" was the only character I even remotely cared about. But I watched it, all...the....way......through. Only thing missing from this wanna be Hallmark fare, it didn't snow!

    Vinnie Babarino's terrible accent

    Oh, c'mon....why? That bad hick accent was just the beginning of the bad stuff happening in this film.

    I'll just never understand why decent actors do these horrible movies.

    American Cheese - The Yellow Kind

    Rednecks complete with mobile home, fake accents, and 4-cylinder sound effects. Predictable, elementary, embarrassing for veteran actors, but ok for simpletons. Too much cheese and too fake. I watch real racers on Youtube with real sound from the cars, no hair plugs or Botox, and better stories for free. Barely made it through, but I made it.

    Travolta swings for the fences in this one and winds up fouling it off the plate.

    I give Travolta credit, he is trying his best to do something and, no one, I mean NO ONE knows what he is trying to do but him.

    All of his newest movies have found there way on to Amazon Prime Video. I go into all of them with the best intentions and while I find them mildly entertaining they are all predictable and aren't really going anywhere. Trading Paint is no exception. Trading Paint isn't the Crow 2 bad. But it's not very good either.

    I am really left scracthing my head on this one.I don't know. I just don't know
