Cue opening scene: Man on a womans bicycle, wearing a denim shirt, stetson hat and hotpants; then get him splashed in water (which he just loves) 'because it's hot and sunny in the U.S of A! Add a little bit of 80's power ballad, Kevin Costner with a frankly fabulous moustache and plenty of sickly patriotism. Follow this with a pointless bike race and lots of man love and you'll have "American Flyers". Or in other words; 90 minutes or so of unmitigated diarrhoea.

While training and racing together, each fears the congenital ailment that struck down their father could suddenly strike one of them. Written by Breaking Away Oscar winner Steve Tesich and directed by John Badham(Saturday night fever), American flyers is a spirit-soaring spectacle.

It's a pretty formulaic drama, but still entertaining.
