How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:65

Fresh:4

Rotten:61

Average Rating:2.8/10

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

Runtime: 1 hr 32 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

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.

"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.

As impressive as the actual race footage is the plot and characters are so underdeveloped that director Steve Boyum is unable to create very much tension.

This insipid motor sports drama is not only shockingly inept in terms of storytelling, it's also one of the cheapest looking movies in recent memory.

...a spectacularly lousy effort even by the relatively forgiving genre rules of the sports movie.

It mostly focuses on promoting the movie's financier (media giant Clear Channel), spotlighting the hottie cast and delivering a story unworthy of a bad Wednesday-night teen drama.

The themes about corporate greed and blood being thicker than money resonate, but that doesn’t save the film from predictability and cliché.

when I think of tough biker dudes, I think Aaron Carter! Sure, he stinks, but, thankfully, he didn't sing the movie's theme song

Supercross is like a porno where all the sex scenes have been replaced with motorcycle scenes.

When huge chunks of character development and narrative exposition are relegated to a track announcer’s running commentary, it can never be a good sign.

Unless you're a 15-year-old boy who thinks motorcycle racing on dirt tracks is the 'next big thing,' you may ignore the release of Supercross.

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.
