Leave your thoughts about Shifting Gears.
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe best thing I can say about Shifting Gears is that's its an incredibly mediocre and unoriginal film...with solid performances all around, Shifting Gears pushes itself barely passed the recommendation line. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldPredictable racing dramedy explores father-son relationships |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinWhen the film, directed by Jason Winn, should accelerate, it turns sluggish, attempting to dot a few too many i's — thematically, emotionally, racing-wise — in telling its only marginally compelling story, with the lackluster Tom-Jeremy dynamic driving too much of the action. |

| User ReviewMichael AA great Family Movie from Start to finish. Highly recommend this movie. (and we are not even race fans.) |
| User ReviewScot HI watched this with my son over the weekend and had a blast. This is exactly the kind of fun, laugh filled, family film that is great to kick back and enjoy with a huge tub of popcorn. The entire cast was great, particularly Keith Harris and I love that it was filmed in NC. We need more films like this! I loved it. |

| User ReviewCarla HGreat movie about dirt track racing and not giving up. |
