I'm all for modern day films that take plots from the classics and you don't get more classic than the Bard. If a film like Motocrossed will encourage young folks to check out 12th Night and the rest of the works of Master Will Shakespeare so much the better.Motocrossed is the story the Carson Family who all enjoy the sport of Motorcycle racing including daughter Alana Austin. Her twin brother Trevor O'Brien is an up and coming young racer, but when he's injured and can't compete his twin sister takes so she can compete with the boys and show she has the right stuff for the support.Austin does have her problems though, she has to win her parents and siblings over which also includes a most indiscreet little brother Scott Terra. Mother Mary-Margaret Humes gets on board as Austin appeals to the feminist side of her. It's father Timothy Carhart that's kept in the dark for most of the film.It doesn't help that there's a champion Motocross rider in Riley Hill that she has an interest in that extends to more than sports. But being in male drag won't help her cause.Motocrossed has some nice cinematography of the young folk doing their racing and it's fine family entertainment.

This is one of the few movies where who goes with bike, especially with off road bike, is not ugly and bad ... I mean dirt is within the context. All the actor perform well, even if not all are professional. I would like to have more film like this for our sons, the messages inside the story are correct, not free violence but a lot of competition even if in the real world female championship is not together with male championship, this is a poetic license but acceptable. We have some excellent pilot, Kiara Fontanesi, Flo Parrini, Alice Magnoli that are both eligible for actress and as pilot too... I would like to see again a film with some of them (...I believe stunts are not necessary).

I've never been a big fan of Disney Channel Original Movies, and for good reason as most of them are cheesy meaningless movies made to keep young kids occupied. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when I caught the middle of the movie accidentally one day while flipping channels. After seeing the last half of the movie, I just had to see the beginning so I found out when it was coming on again and watched it again from the very beginning. Upon doing so, I discovered that the movie is actually quite good and I definitely recommend it to those who are interested in motocross and are also into family movies. I liked the girl power aspect as well as the family togetherness; it's quite amazing how the whole family stuck together at the end, and I found it so awesome that Andrea was good at Motocross but could still be a typical girl at the same time. It shows that girls can be good at sports and not look like tomboys. Also, the casting directors should be commended because they picked a fine cast of talented young people. This movie has a good message for the whole family and although the twins in the movie looked almost nothing alike, and Andrea would never be able to pass for Andrew in real life, sticking around for the ending is definitely well worth it. I give this movie 8/10 stars.

Like in other comments that I have put out, I have said that I like the music better than the movie itself. In this case, I like them both. I agree with some other people that the music is good because it has a variety such as soothing, rock, MST, instrumental, etc. I have seen this movie about 10 or 15 times and I always say, "Oooh, yey! Motocrossed is on!" I say that because I am also 12 years old. And being at the age where I am supposed to like this sort of movie, I did. Alana Austin (Andi Carson) did a great job of Andi. Although to me it is obvious that she was at least 3 or 4 years older than she is in the movie. I read other comments and they say that "Jason", played by Scott Terra, is 9? In real life, he 13 or 14 when the filming of that movie took place. So I recommend this movie out to everyone! But I have to agree with the other users, this movie is a bit predictable. 10/10
