For a film that's ultimately about speed, it could use a little more zip.

The World's Fastest Indian might be the world's worst title for a charming, slice-of-life biopic starring Anthony Hopkins.
August 06, 2008
This compelling fact-based story is [Donaldson's] best effort in years.

The World's Fastest Indian is an old-fashioned feel-good movie.

Movie does not try to turn elderly speedster Burt Munro into melodrama but simply allows his astounding achievements to speak for themselves.

Ambushing audiences isn't easy for an actor like Anthony Hopkins, from whom we've come to expect shouting routines. But he propels this biopic past familiar fish-out-of-water beats with a vibrant, wily, unpredictable joie de vivre not seen since "Nixon."

Hopkins' joyous romp is a little slow for kids.
August 06, 2008
An old-fashioned, consummate feelgood flick and a valedictory to eccentric, stubborn old coots everywhere.

It takes a while to adjust to this amiable film's languorous tempo but you might find it's worth the wait.
February 03, 2006
The film may be cutesy-poo for some tastes, and there isn't much nail-chewing suspense in Burt's pursuit or his lighthearted subjugation of everyone he meets. But man and "motor-sickle" sneaked up and beguiled me, so all I could do was hop on.
