Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - This is such a dumb movie!
I've been involved in cub scouting for years as a mom and leader and have seen a fair share of pinewood derbies. I know this movie is supposed to be a farce but it is so over the top as to make it stupid. No dads are this selfish. It's clean for the most part (still, there are some mom's with plenty of cleavage showing) but it's just too stupid for words. If you really want to buy it don't waste a lot of money on it, buy it used or from a discount outlet.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for all scouting families.
If you ever participated in a Pinewood Derby you will want to see this. (Not that this is really what happens behind the scenes.....)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Fun, Especially for Scouting Families
As a Cub Scout Den Leader who is going on my fourth year, I had a blast watching this movie! Although I was worried at first it might be second-rate and cheesy, it's really fun, enjoyable, and has tons of laugh-out-loud moments for parents and kids alike. My son, who is a Webelo Scout this year, though it was awesome, especially as we just had our own Pinewood Derby race last week! This is a great comedic film for the whole family, and although those in the Scouting world might get some of the subtleties quicker than those who aren't, all families will be able to find something enjoyable in this film.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything's Bigger at Jimmy's!
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much from this film, but it really won me over. The characters might have been a little over-stated, but all in all an all too real look into the goings-on behind the scenes of what is supposed to be a Kid's Activity. I looked at some of the cars that were raced in the finals and it reminded me of some of the cars I saw at my own Pine Wood Derby as a kid and I know now, as I and the Scout Leaders did then, that the kid never lifted a finger in the construction process. But, oh well, que so-what, so-what. I still enjoyed this little film emensely, although I wish that Pat Morita had been in it more, he's one of my favorite character actors, and losing him last year was a real loss to entertainment as a whole. And the films exterior scenes were all filmed in my home town of St. George, Utah, so of coarse I'm going to like it for that reason alone, but the rest of the film is more than worth while too. Recommended!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funny movie
A must see for boy scouts and their fathers. Very funny for the whole family.
