I am always on the lookout for "family" movies that I can watch with my nephews. And the other day in my grocery store (I know, very goofy selling movies at the grocery) I found the movie "Madison".
The title is from the name of the port city (at one time the second busiest port in the U.S.) in Southern Indiana named Madison. It stars the kid from Star Wars I and the guy who played Hayzeus in "Passion of the Christ". The story line is about powerboat racing.
It is a true life underdog story similar to "Hoosiers" or "Breaking Away". No special effects (although toward the end they do splice in the actual ABC Woldworld of Sports footage with a young Keith Jackson), no car chases or gunfights, just a solid movie with a positive theme--don't quit.
Good one to watch with the kids.
