Rating: 3/5 --
Good-hearted '80s biking movie has cursing, sex.

Common Sense Media
A pleasant, straight-down-the-road, cliché-ridden ride.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
American Flyers is shaky at the core, because it tries to tap-dance around its own central issues.

Scriptwriter Steve Tesich returns to bicycle racing, but he's forced to throw in a subplot about an incurable movie disease to make the thing work.

Rating: 71/100 --
Thankfully, Costner and Grant are able to overcome the bumpy screenplay and ride American Flyers to a satisfying, if predictable, conclusion.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
There are certainly worse ways to spend 100 minutes - particularly if you're a bicycling enthusiast.
