I just watched "F1: The Movie." Pure schlock, with a heapin' helpin' of DEI. The story line is sophistic, the exposition is CLUMSY wrote large, and the only thing dramatic about it is the Rock'n'Roll soundtrack.

For racing realism it doesn't amount to a pimple on the ass of "Grand Prix" or "LeMans" but it stacks up pretty well against "Days of Thunder" and "Talladega Nights."

The best thing about watching a digital copy is that I got to skip over the a lot of the pointless bits (which were multitudinous). They could have made it a third less boring just by skipping the last hour.

It's not really about F1, it's not even really about racing. It reminds me of a review for the Eddie Murphy movie, "Mr. Church," that had the best 6-word review in the history of cinema:

Eddie Murphy Fixes White People’s Lives


In that same vein, my 6-word review for "F1: The Movie":

Brad Pitt fixes Formula One racing

Well now F1 has their own version of "Days of Wonder Blunder.")

Minus that one guy, what's his name Tom Snewz or something that was also in that Top Gun movie ?
