Pros: Awesome cars, a feel great racing movie
Cons: A bit low budget (maybe thats what makes it work?)

I give this movie an 8. The '55 Chevy deserves a 10 though. (note, this same car was used in American Grafitti) The first time you see this movie, you may be quite surprised as it is very low budget and lacks dialog. (perhaps intentional?) I've never seen another movie quite like this one. In fact, many scenes have no dialog at all, it's just you and the sound of the '55 Chevy's M-22 transmission whine. (of which I really like) Smile Movie is filled with racing action and is a must see for any car guy. Of the few characters in this movie, you'll see Brian Wilson of the Beach boys as the mechanic, singer James Taylor as the driver and actor Warren Oates as "GTO".

Pros:
Cons:

Definitely a B movie, but very interesting, nonetheless. Good race scenes, silly dialogue. An action movie that could put you to sleep.
