How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:17

Fresh:1

Rotten:16

Average Rating:3.2/10

Consensus: While it provides some cool stunts, Supercross feels like an infomercial for the sport, with undeveloped characters and a shopworn plot.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for language and some sexuality.

Runtime: 1 hr 32 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Aug 17, 2005 Wide

Box Office: $3,045,751

Synopsis: Deeply in love with motorcycles, orphaned brothers K.C. (Steve Howey) and Trip (Mike Vogel) Carlyle clean pools to support their hunger for competitive motocross--dreaming of the day when they can... Deeply in love with motorcycles, orphaned brothers K.C. (Steve Howey) and Trip (Mike Vogel) Carlyle clean pools to support their hunger for competitive motocross--dreaming of the day when they can get professional sponsorship and compete in the stadium event known as Supercross. Younger Trip is a loose cannon, constantly taking risks that make him a liability for a professional team. As a result, K.C. is the first to get sponsored. Unfortunately, just before his first race, he finds that he was hired simply to make sure that no one gets near the team's star, Rowdy Sparks (Channing Tatum). K.C.'s jealousy gets the best of him until he embarks on a romance with a spirited young female rider, Piper Cole (Cameron Richardson), whose biker father Robert Patrick (TERMINATOR 2) sees a potential winner in Trip and decides to give him sponsorship. Loud and colorful, with enough gravity-defying motorcross action to satisfy any fan, former stuntman Steve Boynum's directorial debut conveys the dangers of the sport as well as the fierce competition and corporate backstabbing it involves. Robert Patrick shines in his brief but effective role. Boasting a sexy young cast and plenty of stunt riding, SUPERCROSS is sure to give younger viewers enough eye candy to breezily pass 90 minutes.

You could see the same thing for free -- with higher production values and snappier dialogue -- watching X Games coverage on ESPN.

Like the drive-in classics of Roger Corman and Samuel Z. Arkoff, this develops the principal characters and conflicts with just enough depth and keeps the narrative moving at a brisk pace.

Director Steve Boyum, a former motocross driver, hacks his racing footage to incomprehensible pieces and, from the looks of the meager, jumpy narrative, did the same to the script.

The writing is abysmal, the acting wouldn't pass muster in a high school play, and the direction by erstwhile stuntman Steve Boyum (Timecop: The Berlin Decision) is positively sleep-inducing between cycle jumps.

An example of how too much of anything will get annoying -- including VVRRRROOOOOOOMMM and flying bikes.

The sport of Supercross serves as the backdrop for an excruciatingly earnest sports-themed action movie geared to speed-minded teens.

Supercross: The Movie is a full-throttle orgy of soaring bikes and revved-up engines, held together by a thin if capably acted story of sibling rivalry.

The movie's biggest drawback is a failure to deliver what's promised.

Instead of plot, Boyum treats us to some meaningless but incredible sights, like that of a motorcyclist and her vehicle doing a backward somersault in midair.

Dumb as dirt, heavy on decibels and crazed with sales plugs, Supercross: The Movie is a clunker of a youth action fable.

Supercross racing may be an exciting spectator sport and even more rapturous for the participants, but none of that noisy exhilaration has made its way into Supercross.

In every sense, the movie feels like a pilot for a program that would follow The Mountain, that ski resort show on the WB.
