      Daphne Gordon Toronto Star A sport film with lots of speedy thrills. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Stephen Cole Globe and Mail The only thing missing in this shameless pandering to 'tweenagers' is a crusade against homework. Rated: 2/4 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review J. Kelly Nestruck National Post It may just be a kid's movie, but in some ways that makes Kart Racer's incredible lack of originality even more of a crime. Rated: 1/4 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Louis B. Hobson Jam! Movies A strong family film that should play well for young adults and their parents. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Bruce Kirkland Jam! Movies A compendium of wretched cliches that would only be tolerable to someone who has seen very few movies, or even TV shows, ever before. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Michael W This racing movie was pretty good. Randy Quaid, Will Rothhaar, Harland Williams, Amanda de Martinis, David Gallagher, Joe Dinicol, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The story of the movie was dramatic, inspirational, and entertaining. It's about doing what you've always wanted to do and share it with your family. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten. Those people have terrible tastes in movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review KB B It wasn't bad but pretty predictable and I've seen this type movie many times over years. Other than that it was entertaining and a feel good movie for the whole family. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing movie! Couldn't have been better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member There should be more go kart racing movies, it was dope. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A touching story and a moral in the whole story Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Just goes to show what sheer will and determination can help you accomplish...
