Race the Sun Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 9 Reviews)

I was there!
Dude, you still don't know who Jim Belushi is. James Gandolfini is in "The Sopranos." Jim Belushi is the brother of the late John Belushi ("Animal House" and "Blues Brothers"). He co-stars in the ABC-TV show called "The World According To Jim."
Anyway, most of the reviews are correct. This IS a fun film to watch and be part of. The bulk of it was filmed in Australia. I was in Maroubra (which is a suburb of Sydney) when they were filming the scenes of the race's start. I got a chance to talk with J. Moki Cho (who plays Gilbert Tutu) and Jim Belushi actually said "how's it going?" to me while he was in the makeup chair. I have a photo of Halle Berry standing underneath an sun umbrella and nearly bumped into Kevin Tighe (remember the TV show "Emergency"?) as we came around a corner of the convenience.

So cute!
This movie is so cute! It just teaches us how to deal with the problems that life brings to us. And Eliza Dushku kicks ass!

We watched this for science class...and wow!
Wow, we just watched this today in science and I was amazed. This movie is really entertaining, with a cast of some major actors to back it up (Jim Belushi, Halle Berry and Casey Affleck who is Ben Affleck's younger brother). The story is really inspirational. Based on a true story, it follows a group of high school students who come together in detention class. Things happen in the beginning, giving these kids the motivation to build a solar car and race in the world championships. After overcoming many obstacles, the team eventually makes it into the big games.
Here's where things get interesting, as we look into each character's personality. For instance, we have the stereotypical fat guy whom no one would expect to fit into a car, let alone race. Then there's the troubled girl with the alcohol problem, who gets disqualified from the races. Next comes the nerdy girl, who finds love in interestig places.
Jim Belushi and Halle Berry once again prove how good they truly are in this wonderful movie (based on a true story). I hope everybody watches this because it is really exceptional.
