It Is Corny, But It Works.


I just saw it on my cable company's free movie section. Sure the plot is like cool runnings, and the idea of a motley crew school teens designing a sophiscated car sounds far fetched, but hey it is a feel good movie.
Plus we got to see a young Eliza Dushku which for me shows her star potential at the time. I just wish the non white actresses had more roles in movies, but hey that's Hollywood for you!

Far fetched? It's history. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sdbest/solarcar/Wsc1990.htm

My sister in law was on the team this movie took its inspiration from. I know it isn't the best movie ever but knowing the story behind it makes it cool to me!
