Free Style


Free Style is just the worst fucking film ever. But wait, how does a film this bad get into theaters at all? Free Style is a television movie for kids that are on lockdown by their parents and can only watch the bad channel.
The lead actor Corbin Bleu is the poster boy for clumsy wooden acting, yet he has a career as a child actor that led to High School Musical taking a prominent place on his resume. Director William Dear made his mark in the early 80s with Elephant Parts, a collaboration with Michael Nesmith that made its debut during the dawn of video tape as well as a cool time travel entry called Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann that features off-road bike racing. Free Style also takes place in the world of motocross, only its a pale reflection of the actual sport just as the script mimics a dull representation of moral issues, family and work relations. Dear has obviously fallen on hard times.
This is a family film with a PG rating, which I guess would be for when little sister says "Crap" and "Fartface." Penelope Ann Miller who used to be in cool films like Carlito's Way and even b-movies like The Relic plays the mother. I felt so sorry every time she showed up on screen of this bomb with a bad soundtrack that I am ready to start a fund to support her until she can be in a good film. Free Style - stay far away from it at all costs.
