Halle Berry - Race the Sun

Halle Berry appeared in Race the Sun as Miss Sandra Beecher. Race the Sun is a 1996 comedy-drama movie, mainly starring Halle Berry, Steve Hogan and James Belushi.

Race the Sun is loosely and imprecisely based on the true story of the 1990 Konawaena High School Solar Car Team which finished 18th in the World Solar Challenge, besting numerous corporate and university teams, and becoming the first high school team to complete the race.

Another chance to see Halle Berry, ,Author: lastliberal from Florida

OK, not the greatest movie in the world, and the outcome is fairly predictable, but it was another opportunity to see Halle Berry, and I cannot pass that up. Besides that, I am trying to get my teaching certificate, so I watch teacher movies, no matter how silly.

I understand that it is also based upon a true story.

In addition, it also featured Eliza Dushku (Buffy, Tru Calling), Casey Affleck (brother of Ben), and James Belushi.

It wasn't memorable, but it was cute and not a total waste of time. Also, it was written by Barry Morrow, a member of the Association of Retarded Citizens, the National Association of Social Workers, and the Austism Society of America - a lifelong advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities. That puts him solidly in my camp as I am also a member of NASW and work with the developmentally disabled. Morrow won an Oscar for writing Rain Man.
