Even if you're not enamoured of horses, this is a really good movie - beautifully shot, well-cast, well-acted, and a "feel-good" story that has the advantage of being (mostly) true. It's a classic American tale of some come-from-behind, beat-the-odds, never-give-up misfit individuals who make good, enabled by a self-made millionaire.
You animal-lovers, bring your hankies! (says the woman who has been known to get teary-eyed over the PBS adverts, with the cheetahs and impalas running in slow-motion as orchestral music swells...) :)
Hrm. Did you read the book? I'm wondering how it compares. The book was tremendous and I have a hard time believing they will be able to live up to it.
