I wasn't very sure about watching a motorcycle film as I'm not very interested in motorcycling, but the film was good to pass the time. It had an interesting story and the acting was also pretty good, especially Corbin's. However, the music during the film was quite annoying. But apart from the music, the film was different from any other film's I've seen and showed a young man followed his dreams to support his family. Overall, a nice, heartwarming film :)

I could go into all the reasons I didn't like the movie, incuding the technical ones. Like the lighting sucks. I can acutally see where things were digitally added into scenes. But I think I'm going to stick with the acting being bad and the fact that it felt like it was cheaper than a made for TV Disney movie. Yeah, Let's go with that. Why do all the little Disney people have their own production companies? Seriously? Corbin Bleu is cute but even looks don't save this one.

Shallow and predictable...but the PERFECT venue for teaching preteen boys some important life lessons. Young guys need more movies like this!

Free Style is about motocross and stars Corbin Bleu of the Disney Channel repertory company, two facts that might lead you to expect a certain kind of film.

One Guy's Opinion

You can always while away the hour and a half playing 'Count the Cliches.' One wishes Bleu all the best, but on the evidence of this picture his career might be a lot shorter than his hair.
