There were stunts in this movie so outrageously unbelievable and silly, that I could not laugh hard enough to express my feelings, so I had to bounce in my chair and pull my hair as well... But that's what I went for. Adrenaline-rush action, fun and over-the-top stunts, and cheesy plot/dialogue - that's what the previews promised, and I feel that's what I got.
It doesn't pretend to be what it's not - it's a bunch of guys jumping motorcycles, snowboarding, speeding cars, jumping out of airplanes, parasailing... with a plot thrown in to run all the stunts together, and Diesel's gravelly voice throwing in corny one-liners.
If you like the X-Games and seeing things blow up, give it a try. I anticipate (with pleasure) a video game along the lines of "Stuntman" based on this movie.
And for the record, I'm female, mid-30's, responsible, educated, etc. - so it's not just for teenaged boys.
