Why it’s a little special

A road-trip atmosphere and an appealing small-town cast make this easy company. Best for a night when racing fun and a lesson in humility sound about right.

General audiences

US film rating

Racing crashes, reckless driving and brief peril. Some rude jokes and insults; a late race includes a serious-looking crash.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
