Ambushing audiences isn't easy for an actor like Anthony Hopkins, from whom we've come to expect shouting routines. But he propels this biopic past familiar fish-out-of-water beats with a vibrant, wily, unpredictable joie de vivre not seen since "Nixon."

For a film that's ultimately about speed, it could use a little more zip.

Movie does not try to turn elderly speedster Burt Munro into melodrama but simply allows his astounding achievements to speak for themselves.

It takes a while to adjust to this amiable film's languorous tempo but you might find it's worth the wait.

The film may be cutesy-poo for some tastes, and there isn't much nail-chewing suspense in Burt's pursuit or his lighthearted subjugation of everyone he meets. But man and "motor-sickle" sneaked up and beguiled me, so all I could do was hop on.

Hopkins' joyous romp is a little slow for kids.

An old-fashioned, consummate feelgood flick and a valedictory to eccentric, stubborn old coots everywhere.

This compelling fact-based story is [Donaldson's] best effort in years.
