Full Plot Details

Down and Derby is a family comedy about a small town Pinewood Derby competition that transforms an average group of dads into an awkward bunch of competitors. On the outside, Phil Davis is the typical dad and friendly neighbor. On the inside, he is unresolved and at a breaking point with his childhood rival, Ace Montana. Desperate for the elusive first place, Phil sees his son's Pinewood Derby race as a breakthrough opportunity to beat Ace, who also has a Cub Scout son. Surrounded by more overzealous dads in the same cul-de-sac, they all disregard the event's ideals and completely take over the design, planning and construction of the cars. In the crazed world of derby fever, the kids are lucky if they get to pick the paint color or attach a decal. Hilarity builds as the dads teeter on the edge of insanity and resort to backstabbing, cover-ups and sabotage. Wives, families and jobs are ignored with extreme consequences. The farce reaches comical and outrageous levels when in the end, the young scouts prevail in a surprise twist, reminding us to never take ourselves too seriously or underestimate what kids can do. This comedy satirizes the desperate behavior of parents who compete with one another through their children, a social dynamic seen in everyday activities ranging from little league to science fairs.

Movie Reviews

EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderImbecilic, unreasonable and wretchedly unfunny.... The film is 5,580 seconds long, and not one of those seconds is believable.
Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Nancy ChurninIt should be required viewing for moms and dads tempted to write their children's essays, create Power Point presentations for their science projects and build their Pinewood Derby cars.
Ebert & Roeper - 8/10 by Richard RoeperIt's all about these fathers and how crazy they are.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's too predictable and TV-movie generic to appeal to anyone older than, say, 5.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittIt's too predictable and TV-movie generic to appeal to anyone older than, say, 5.
L.A. Weekly - 6/10 by Ernest HardyIt's when adults with whitewashed notions of childhood get hold of a camera that kiddie fare - like this uninspired effort from writer-director Eric Hendershoot - goes limp.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 6/10 by Robert DenersteinDown and Derby has the look and feel of something that might turn up on a cable channel devoted to 'family-friendly' entertainment, where it might find a greater audience.
Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah) - 6/10 by Audrey Rock-RichardsonDoes better on DVD than it did on the big screen, as long as your expectations aren't too high.
Variety - 6/10 by Joe LeydonA modestly amusing family-friendly comedy about a miniature car race that brings out the worst in overzealous fathers who compete with each other through their children.
Salt Lake Tribune - 5/10 by Sean P. Means[The] family-friendly slapstick is pitched at such a manic high... that the results are more exhausting than amusing.
