Dirs: Andy and Larry Wachowski
With: Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon

The Wachowski brothers of Matrix fame go wild with the paint box and SFX in this live action adaptation of the Japanese cartoon. Imagine a highly stylised, hyper-caffeinated cross between Wacky Races and The Jetsons with ninjas and a chimpanzee thrown in and you're almost there. Emile Hirsch is the boy racer of the title who takes part in 400mph duels with his rivals. Though the special effects are eye-popping, it's the interplay between the Racer family - mom Susan Sarandon, dad John Goodman and the rest - that provides the warmth. Insanely overlong, but if they can endure the Grand Prix length, any junior Jeremy and Jemima Clarksons in your life will have a blast.
