Unfortunately, overblown production just pumps hot air in too many directions and comes up limp.

A pleasant, straight-down-the-road, clich-ridden ride.
February 9, 2006 | Full Review… -
The performances aren't bad, but they aren't good enough to give the film the heft it doesn't otherwise have.
May 20, 2003 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
American Flyers is shaky at the core, because it tries to tap-dance around its own central issues.
January 1, 2000 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
Good-hearted '80s biking movie has cursing, sex.
November 8, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
