Right On Track is the true story of two sisters, Erica(Beverley Mitchell) and Courtney Enders(Brie Larson) who share a love for drag racing. But they have to face difficult obstacles that stand in their way of achieving their dreams. Especially the discrimination they receive because they are girls. I enjoyed this movie, I think it's a nice way to waste your sunday morning. And it also sends out a strong message to kids which is to never give up on your dreams no matter what or who stands in your way. Also Beverley Mitchell did a great job portraying Erica Enders. I would give Right On Track 7/10

Good film, but has the typical Disney touches.
Brock1721 March 2003
Indeed this is a great film about the Enders Racing Team, of Courtney and Erica. The movie follows them from early age, into where Erica discovers that there is a new Jr NHRA Team, which she joins and later her sister Courtney joins. She goes through alot of problems, like with friends, boys, typical teenage girl stuff, but when racing she also has to put up with the boys only attitude that the sport holds. Overall a good movie, but it contains the annoying Disney touches that make me want to lower my rating, over all i give it a 7 out of 10.
Enders Family Values
bkoganbing1 September 2015
Beverley Mitchell late of 7th Heaven and Brie Larson play Erica and Courtney Enders a pair of sisters who did nothing less than open up the sport of drag racing for women. As you watch the story unfold you plainly see that the girls and their supportive parents face a whole lot of opposition, a lot of it downright stupid.
The parents are played by Jon Lindstrom and Jodi Russell and while supportive do insist on some strict values like academic achievement comes first. That becomes of particular importance insofar as Mitchell is concerned.
It also plays havoc with the social lives of the two sisters especially Mitchell who would like to also date as well. She does have her eye on young Derek Boone and he's an eyeful.
Another male preserve shattered. Soon enough we'll see women drivers on the NASCAR circuit. We'll owe it to the Enders sisters of Houston, Texas and their perseverance which is captured nicely in this fine family film from the Disney Studios.

Really Good
Sammygrl5621 March 2003
This was actually a really good movie. I was seeing a commercial for it on about every network so I knew all about it. I was laying on the couch when Disney announced it was coming on. I decided I would watch it to test it but didn't think it would last long. Some Disney movies are really good but others too sappy. Well this movie was actually really good. I really enjoyed it. I sat through the whole thing, and though it was predictable at times I was never bored of it. Some parts can be a little sappy but hey if they weren't than it wouldn't be a Disney movie. It had a really good cast. I liked the relationship of the daughters and their father. It was nice. The movie is about a girl named Erica Enders and her sister Courtney (though it is mostly about Erica). She loves drag racing, but is discriminated against because she is a girl. I'm not going to give away any parts or anything but it was really good. I was surprised. Of course as I said some things can be a little too lovey dovey, but that's what I liked about it. This is a great family movie. I give it 9/10.
Drag race
BandSAboutMovies24 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Courtney and Erica Enders started drag racing as kids and Erica became the 2014, 2015 and 2019NHRA Pro Stock drag racing champion. This Disney Channel film tells the story about how they had to work harder - because they were women - than the men they raced against. Erica (Beverley Mitchell, Saw II) even quit for a while until she realized that racing was her dream.
Along with her sister Courtney (Brie Larson, Captain Marvel), they with the NHRA Junior Dragster national title and prove themselves.
While not the gritty story of Heart Like a Wheel, you get the idea of how much the girls sacrificed to become winners. Originally airing on the Disney Channel on March 21, 2003, this was directed by Duwayne Dunham, who edited and directed Twin Peaks, as well as the Disney movies Halloweentown, The Thirteenth Year, Ready to Run and Tiger Cruise.

Great Movie
lawauna_n_rich2 June 2005
I watched this with my 8 year old daughter. We both loved it. We actually watched it twice. Now she wants to learn all she can about Erica Enders and watch all kinds of racing on TV. My daughter and I both sat on the edge of our seats while watching this. This movie is a movie that you can let your child watch and not be worried about the message. This movie is one that can be used to teach girls that they can be anything they want. Don't just not do something because you are a girl and trying to do something in an all male field. I hope that Disney puts this movie to video. I would definitely buy it and watch it over and over with my daughter and I would buy it for my nieces. Wonderful story!
Another beautiful and passionate Disney biography...

"Life is more difficult for those who are smart." especially if she is competent and a woman, I am very proud and happy that she has not given up, and today at 40 she still competes, what a pride... I really liked the macho approach, and especially the feminist debate, for equality between men and women, girls and boys, another beautiful and passionate Disney biography...
great movie!
Sha_naynay3403 May 2003
