Featured review
Decent film that doesn't try to be any more than it is
Is Racing Stripes a masterpiece? No, though I wasn't expecting it to be. Is it an abomination? Again, no. If anything, in my view it is just above average. It does have a predictable story, the characters are stereotypical, some of the script is a little cloying and unfocused and the film is too short. Conversely, Racing Stripes doesn't try to be any more than it already is. It is an inoffensive and charming film, which is what it promised, and I think it worked in that aspect. Some of it is sweet and fun, the film moves quickly, the soundtrack is infectious and the scenery and photography are gorgeous. Also the live action animation is great, and the acting while not award worthy is decent with Frankie Muniz particularly surprisingly good. Overall, it is a good movie, not great, but I was expecting worse. 6/10 Bethay Cox
