  • This is a film that wears a smile button on its sleeve along with its happy heart. It believes that most people are absolutely wonderful, and it is well enough made so that a dusting of that dogged optimism is bound to rub off on you

  • Reunited with the director some 20 years after the two worked together on THE BOUNTY. Hopkins savors every bit of business as his Burt charms everyone in his path

    A must see movie

    I saw this film in a small 40 seat cinema in New Zealand and the mixed age audience loved it. we were kept spellbound by the story of one mans perseverance in fulfilling his dream of taking the land speed record for under 1000cc motorcycles. Girls- don't be put off- it was a warm, funny, and inspiring story and Anthony Hopkins was excellent in the main role.
