Race the Sun Reviews
Good music, Bad dialogues and Cliche Cliche Cliche...
I'm simply amazed at the reviews this film has received so far; nearly 5 stars??? You gotta be kidding!
Race the Sun was quite a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Halle Berry (who is GORGEOUS), James Belushi, and Steve Zahn.
The movie brings to the screen the story of several Hawaiian High School kids that in trying to put together a high school project end up participating in a Cannonball Run type race in Australia.
The acting is surprisingly (!) weak, the humor and the dialogues are way below average, while the plot is just bearable, and then there's the great locations; Hawaii and Australia...
It seems as though the actors/directors/producers went to the isles on vacation separately, while there they met up with each other at the hotel lounge over Pina Coladas, and then decided, on the spot, to make the best of their stay by doing a quick and easy film on the side for some extra cash/spending money.
In short:
Belushi's character was next to non-existent and really not the great; he was unexpectedly plain and bland.
Halle Berry and Steve Zahn were given terrible lines. What a waste of talent...
Most of the kids' (especially the girls) acting was sad, with the exception of Casey Affleck who seems promising.
So it's a weak plot, terrible dialogues, bad acting, a great setting, wonderful music, and a good cast, which when put together fail to take off.
The potential for a decent movie was definitely there.
In a nutshell, it's an ok movie if you're under 13 and/or are heavily intoxicated, and that's about it; no masterpiece here... Wait till they show it on TV.
Great
I have enjoyed this movie, I have been looking for this movie for awhile. All the movies that I have bought are the movies that I love and have not been able to find in the stores.
