Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle Rad is a tedious exercise of endurance that has nothing to do the number of bunny hops achieved. Rated: 0.5/5 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times The whole thing reminds you more of an overanxious teacher or coach, taking a few slang words and repeating them endlessly in a doomed attempt to "relate." Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 21, 2012 Full Review Walter Goodman New York Times The bicycle acrobatics behind the credits at the opening of Rad are so spectacular that you wonder what the movie can do to improve on them. The short answer is, nothing. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2003 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Brimming with energy, passion, and an underdog spirit... there's not a cynical note to be found in the absolutely delightful Rad! Mar 20, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There's no Mr. Miyagi, but you do get Ray Walston as a local bigwig who responds to Best's meddling by giving him the finger. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 20, 2021 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Needham lovingly films the BMX riders, so, if you don't mind cheese and love bikes, you'll get a lot out of the movie. Rated: 6.5/10 Aug 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Damon One of the greatest movies ever made. If you like movies that teach children that if they work hard they can accomplish anything they want then this is the flick for you!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/21 Full Review Jeremiah C Best movie ever made. Watched this movie hundreds of times. Great soundtrack. Seriously just watch it be in the mood have fun be ready to go ride your bike after. If this doesn't make you want to ride. Quiet possibly dead inside. Anyone says different was never good at anything doing with sports and hated they're childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Alistair B This was THE XGen movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Michael K My favourite movie ever, epic 1980’s flick. If you’re in your 40’s and loved the 1980’s you have to watch this.
