Clocking in at a svelte 84 minutes, it still feels about an hour too long.
Extra points seem to be awarded for a bullseye to the balls.
Theres a kernel of a good idea here.

Childhood in the 70s (when this movie is set) was a far more dangerous experience.
There were no helmets or pads or concerns for nut allergies and EpiPens.
You somehow made it through your teenage years by sheer luck.
But Knoxville and Co. dont do much with the idea.
With a brand-new Six Flags-style attraction newly opened nearby, business is flatlining.
No seat belts, no safety rules, no concussion protocols.
Naturally, kids eat it up.
But even the stunts the whole raison detre of a movie like this seem tame and staged.
It cheaps out on the good stuff.
