I’ll just admit it. I don’t care if Ron Howard ever makes another movie.

He seems like a nice guy. ‘Splash’ was cool.

The thing is, this sepia-toned hagiographer thing he’s gotten into lately is just the worst kind of boring. It all just starts to feel like those NFL films with the heroic voiceover.

There are some very pretty shots of dinky racecars, and feet on clutch pedals, and that guy who plays Thor, but in its guts ‘Rush’ is just a crappy TV biopic.

I’d say skip it unless you’re a real fanatic for F1 racing like the guys who sat next to me. I’m pretty sure one of them got his boxers pregnant during one of the race sequences.
