Rad is a tedious exercise of endurance that has nothing to do the number of bunny hops achieved.

Michael Wilmington

RTLos Angeles TimesAug 21, 2012

The whole thing reminds you more of an overanxious teacher or coach, taking a few slang words and repeating them endlessly in a doomed attempt to "relate."

RTNew York TimesMay 21, 2003

The bicycle acrobatics behind the credits at the opening of Rad are so spectacular that you wonder what the movie can do to improve on them. The short answer is, nothing.

C

RTCommon Sense MediaApr 14, 2026

The film's campy 1980s nostalgia, featured BMX stunts, and underdog heart form a winning combo in this classic cult sports drama.
