5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure, Fun and Inspiration February 4, 2011
By Cynthia
Format:Amazon Instant Video
I have seen it twice and will see it again! Phil Keoghan and his merry band gave us the adventure of tough riding and rough roads with the laughs of bone weary tiredness. Inspiration from a team of friends with a goal for MS. Don't miss this movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great documentary! Must see! February 5, 2011
By peachypeach
Format:Amazon Instant Video
The Ride was inspirational, hilarious and engaging. It has built-in suspense and adventure, while also being funny throughout. You feel like you've known Phil your whole life after watching him ride through his journey and hearing his commentary about his experience and his relationship with his father. It's extremely personal, yet I feel it will reach a very wide audience. You can't watch The Ride and not want to do something physical afterward, especially for charity. And I agree with the other user's review--the camera work was fantastic! I highly highly recommend The Ride!

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Ride" .... What a Ride! February 4, 2011
By Robyn Altman
Format:Amazon Instant Video
Phil Keoghan's film "The Ride" is truly inspirational and full of heart. It's not only a film about biking, but a film about family, friends, perseverance, goals, support, compassion, doing things for others and learning about yourself by challenging yourself. Phil pushes himself to the extreme and even though he encounters many hardships along the way his sense of humor and light hearted personality light up the screen and his positivity shines through. It's amazing to see the people he meets along the way and hear the stories they have to share. They are all such incredible people. The film is quite an adventure! I recommend you see this film!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only watch one documentary this year - make this it! February 3, 2011
By Michael A. Walters
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am not usually a big fan of documentaries, but this one is top notch. I am a cyclist, and watching Phil go through what he did to ride all the way across America was simply amazing. As a regular participant in MS Bike Ride fund raising each year, it was also awesome to see him do it all for that great cause (and bit of his own need to deal with his mid-life crisis).

The movie is inspiring, emotional, and at times humorous. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! February 11, 2011
By WBT
Format:Amazon Instant Video
I saw this tonight in the theatre with Phil, and it quickly became one of my favorite films. It's one of the best I've seen in a while, and I went to the Banff film festival & others. This is more than an adventure story. It's moving, and funny with more than one good hard laughs in there. Watch it- you'll be very glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie! Motivation at it's best! February 10, 2011
By Bill S
Format:Amazon Instant Video
I got a chance to see this movie last night in St. Louis along with a my daughter and a group of friends and quite simply IT WAS AMAZING! It'll take you through full a full range of emotions.. from tears of compasion to tears of total laughter. Phil's crazy sense of humor along with his growing appreciation for those living with MS and wanting to do what he can for them, is inspiring. See it if you get a chance. Meeting Phil last night was also a nice treat. I was diagnosed with MS in 1993 and am lucky enough to still be able to ride the MS150 ride each year so I can appreciate both the pain of pushing through long miles as well as dealing with MS each day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Documentary. Take time to Watch!! February 8, 2011
By Jenniethegr8
Format:Amazon Instant Video
After having first person experience in the tremendous effort made by Phil Keoghan and his team, I was pleased at how well this movie captures the incredible journey. I had the pleasure of working with this crew as they traveled through Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Such wonderful people on a fabulous mission. His effort raised substantial funds for an incredibly important cause - the National MS Society. Makes me want to work harder and perform better everyday. And, yes, you will laugh, cry and want to try the unimaginable after watching this awesome journey for a better good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Watch while in a bike trainer
A decent enough movie to watch while grinding away on an indoor trainer in the middle of the winter. Just enough story to keep the movie going.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth your time!
I found this to be an uplifting story of perseverance and community. Well worth your time. Don't expect a movie about bicycling or bicycles though.
