Critic Reviews

There are some charming actors in this movie, all dressed up but with no place to go. Free Style is remorselessly formulaic, with every character and plot point playing its assigned role.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Sputteringly generic sports movie/poor-boy-makes-good fable employs every treadless cliche on the track while failing to take advantage of either Bleu's considerable charm or the motocross milieu in which the film is set.Full Review

John Anderson
Variety

Unfolds just the way you think it will...until the climax turns out to be even cheesier than you feared.Full Review

Adam Markovitz
Entertainment Weekly

But it’s not that movie at all, at least not until its shamelessly pandering finish. Before that it’s a bittersweet and surprisingly old-fashioned tale of small-town striving.Full Review

Mike Hale
The New York Times

For all the flying dirt, the motocross scenes never take off, lacking both coherence and excitement. And that's a crippling flaw for a movie that revs its engines for a good half of its 94 minutes.Full Review
