Nell Minow Common Sense Media Painfully bad. A real head-scratcher. Rated: 1/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle It's neither as funny as it needs to be nor serious enough to elicit more than a few crinkled brows from kids and their parents alike. Rated: 2/5 Feb 15, 2004 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper This thing is so silly and so ridiculous. Feb 13, 2004 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) I feel like they balance that tricky plotline well so... kids can have a heist movie that's for them. Rated: 7/10 May 11, 2019 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Tony Medley tonymedley.com Rated: 1/10 Oct 7, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Grace P Unfortunately a lot of the story danced around a love triangle, which in one scene is used to the protagonists advantage- manipulating the boys to help her out under false pretenses. The film did nail the genre from the race car scene to the time sensitive solo act this kept me entertained the whole time. This is a fun family friendly film that is worth watching. This film would have been immediately better if the protagonist realized her mistake and actually made it up to them. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review steve d Cute enough for the kids but doesn't have much for adults. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Liam D It has heart but not in the right place not terrible but forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/31/20 Full Review Audience Member This is the best movie I have ever seen and it deserves 100%. Rotten Tomatoes critics are trash.
