Miracle in Lane 2

I searched up this movie remember watching it once on Disney Channel and expected a hidden gem. I ended up disappointed but that's not to say there's nothing redeemable. The actors keep up a family chemistry while talking about a pretty heavy subject with care, these are some fun ideas such as fake courtrooms, or talking to "God" that end up half baked in the end. There's a minor emergency sequence that does a great job showing not telling how serious our main character's condition is. The main problem is it takes 30 minutes to bring up soapbox racing, which should be the central plot of the movie. I almost turned it off at 25 minutes because nothing was moving forward. I would have also trusted the actors to convey a little more, for example there's a part where our main character is narrating "I wish I had a trophy like my brother" when a jealous look would have probably communicated the same thing. The ending is predictable but still good! I wouldn't watch this if you don't have the nostalgia tinted lenses.

I luved this movie. On the Disney Channel they do it to death but I don't care I watch it all the time. My mom said that Seth was a jerk but I could understand him, though I migh want to point out that I will always think of him from So Wird. You might say that he is a jerk on that too but I like him anyways. On Brink he is nice. I think that this movie should have ended with Justin geting the trophy and maybe a sene where it showed the trophy on the shelf. Cause I really was not crazy about the angels in the wheel chairs scene either.

Enjoyed the movie and the message. Didn't realize it was Malcolm's Frankie Muniz at first, but thought that he did a pretty good and convincing acting job anyway. The cast seemed to have pretty good rapport with one another, and you are never bored at all as the story progresses. A good one for the family to enjoy.

This was a really cute family film---it shows that the underdog CAN rise to the top and win the prize. Of course, it didn't hurt to have Frankie Muniz as the star; he is a likeable and talented young actor. No wonder "Malcolm in the Middle" is such a big hit.

Franky Muniz lights up the screen in this movie. While it is a predictable plot in many ways, it is nonetheless touching. A good plot line will keep parents interested, with numerous side plotlines. All around, this film is well acted, and for the most part, avoids cheesiness and cliche (though there are a few moments). Kids and adults alike will love it.
