To me, this movie is perfection.

Just perfect...

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

My friend put it this way: This movie is "Dangerous Minds" without the violence and with a positive message. I showed this to my class of 6th graders at a Title 1 school at the end of a unit about solar energy. The casting is GREAT, the story line is a little hackneyed but typical of the genre, and I had my toughest students on the edge of their seats. One class actually CHEERED, for real. A great movie for showing in a classroom. There are a few cuss words (s***, b****) but it only adds to the story - these characters are tough kids, and my tough kids relate to them.8/10 (personal) 10/10 (for showing a class)

Predictable at every turn. Horrible at every turn. You get hit with a one-two punch of predictable and horrible. Halle Berry isn't even good in this movie. This should have been a spoof of the REAL movie they should have made about this subject. Not like it's a real subject anyway. Awful.* out of *****

The funnest line in the movie I think is when Steve Zahn says There is a God, then... Well to me it's not really predictable and many times I thought that's yes something new happens, so it never ran out of surprise. I had fun watching it. And my, Gilbert's character is such a whooly-wooly.(meaning, herlarious)

I thought that Race the Sun was a cute little movie; ironically I've read on-line that it's how poor Eliza Dushku became addicted to cigarettes at age 15! Anyways, the Australian outback is portrayed well (duh,' twas filmed in Sydney I also heard!) Race the Sun is a timeless family movie; based loosley around the true story of a group of under-achieving haawian school-kids who set out to win a solar car race in Australia
