Consensus: While it provides some cool stunts, Supercross' plot is shopworn.

Younger... 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.

Mercifully, it's a mad dash to the final finish line.

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.

The cinematography has the cheap, washed-out look of old home movies, but director Steve Boyum provides some exciting race footage to pass the time.

Too bad the DVD doesn't just cut out all the exposition and plot and (yikes) the actors

Save your hate-mails, motorheads. I'm not knocking your favorite sport, just the amazingly brain-dead movie that it inspired.

Supercross has its charms for those who appreciate cinematic innocence, and as a love letter to its subject certainly registers as sincere.

Only the most devoted MX fetishists could like the film, because it doesn't offer a scrap of nourishment for the uninitiated.

A short and frantic cookie cutter of a sports movie that will please fans of the sport, but probably won't bring more to the fray.

Part advertisement for Clear Channel’s Supercross broadcasts and part hellish miscalculation on the part of the producers.

When the first line of a movie is “My name is Trip Carlyle,” you know you’re in trouble. That sounds like a guy stuck in the ‘80s with a made up name.

More like flipping back and forth between ESPN and one of the less-demanding teen-centric TV networks than a movie.

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.

This is basically a commercial for the sport, and it's not a very good one at that.

Once the dust settles from the final, triumphant race, the memory of the protagonists' names has been whisked away at the speed of 50 mph.

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.

"Motocross is our life." So begins the saga of the brothers Carlyle.

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