HORSE MANURE FROM HOLLYWOOD

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2003)

SEABISCUIT is one of those typically sappy sentimental based-on-a-true-story modern "classics" bearing little or no resemblence to anything from the golden age of movies. It lacks anything resembling originality-the ending was a real no-brainer; also, it features the most annoying movie character since Jar-Jar Binks (no, it's not the horse). It was "Tic-Toc" McGlaughlin (William H. Macy). That, along with the lame storyline made for a mediocre viewing experience.
Take it from me. SEABISCUIT is a real dog of a movie.
