“Trading Paint” (** out of four) was a lukewarm car-racing/family melodrama about a veteran race car driver (John Travolta) who steps back into the car-racing arena when his conflicted son (Toby Sebastian) decides to race with one of his bitter rivals (Michael Madsen). Well-worn and overly familiar story about family conflicts, the thrill of racing, and personal and professional egos is at least given a boost by good cast and Sebastian is strong as Travolta’s son. Shania Twain has a key role also as Travolta’s love interest but her one-note and underwritten part didn’t impress me much.
