Such a frustrating disappointment
Strong and Moving!
Excellent adaptation.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Since the Kentucky Derby is this weekend, I decided to watch this movie again. I really don't need a reason to watch any thing Christian Kane is in and he is great in this movie! So are all the other actors in the film. I remember this race well and it's a great story of the little horse that could and did. Added bonus was getting to hear a little bit of Christian Kane's songs. Great Family Movie for all to enjoy. If you haven't seen it, I would say to definitely check it out.
Being a Kaniac I may be prejudiced but I don't think so. Had I never heard of Christian Kane before I saw this movie I would have loved it enough to buy the DVD. As it turned out, I was fortunate enough to meet him on the 50-1 tour! 50 to 1 actually tops Seabiscuit and Rocky for an underdog's story. I can't praise this movie enough - it's got heart, humor, hope and heroes! It will have you leaping to your feet in your living room, cheering.
I like this moving because it's based on a true story. Also if you watch any interviews with the cast, you learn that they actually spent time with the real people to learn the story before they played the roles so that they had all the facts so that it was "real" instead of acting. The storyline was great and you could tell the actors really had a true love for horses. I totally recommend it. 5 stars!!
I would recommend this movie to anyone asking me for my opinion of something to watch that is just a feel good movie - it's all about having a good time as these boys do. At first I didn't expect much but then I found myself rooting for Mine That Bird even though I already knew the outcome of the race. It was much more entertaining than I expected it to be and it doesn't hurt that I'm a Christian Kane Kaniac fan and that my daughter loves Skeet Ulrich. You should take the time to give this movie a look, I don't think you'll regret it. I especially enjoyed the good old boys scenes making me feel right at home with the whole cast and who doesn't love a good animal movie?
