Description: Kenny Rogers Is Back On Track With A Half-Pint Pit Crew That Can’t Be Beat! Kenny Rogers stars as Brewster Baker, a stock car driver chasing a comeback until a gang of expert thieves steals his new engine. But these are no ordinary car strippers: Brewster’s been boosted by a teenage orphan (Oscar® nominee Diane Lane of UNFAITHFUL) and her five car-crazy young brothers. The kids are on the run from a crooked Texas sheriff. Brewster needs a top team of fast mechanics. From small Southern speedways to the NASCAR Grand Nationals, can the most unlikely pit crew in racing history take Baker all the way to the checkered flag? Anthony Michael Hall (THE BREAKFAST CLUB, THE DEAD ZONE), Erin Gray (SILVER SPOONS), Barry Corbin (ONE TREE HILL) and Terry Kiser (WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S) co-star in this warm and funny family comedy featuring a hot soundtrack of country hits by Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Merle Haggard and more.Amazon.com: Structured as a star vehicle for country singer turned actor Kenny Rogers, Six Pack is an amiable little film that aims low but showcases the pleasant and easygoing charm of its star. Rogers (The Gambler) plays a down on his luck race car driver saddled with a half dozen delinquents. As he tries to resurrect his fledgling career, he bonds with the little waifs and they form a sort of family, even as they are pursued by a corrupt sheriff who wants to send the kids to an orphanage and ruin Rogers' comeback. A blatant knockoff of films like Smokey and the Bandit, this family-oriented movie works best as a breezy comedy of errors, with the hapless racer contending with his unruly brood as they stay one step ahead of the law. --Robert Lane

- heartwarming: i absolutely love this movie. always have. it's a genuinely funny, pull at your heartstrings, entertainig movie. i watched this movie so many times when i was younger that i actually remembered the words in some of the scenes!
there is a lot of cursing in the movie but it's not "unnecessary". in other words, it simply drives home the fact that these kids were thrust into adulthood and they have no guidance. the foul language these kids use is something that kenny rogers is actually able to take away from them as he shifts them back into their places in childhood.
if you like this movie, you will probably like 'bustin loose' with richard pryor. in that film, he is a con who is given the choice of jail or driving a ragedy school bus load of orphans across the country.
