They had four good legs between them

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2003)

This was a wonderful, inspiring movie. Yes, predictable (but what movie isn't these days)... but full of emotion. The audience around me cheered and clapped.
I felt like the "pre-stories" took a little too long to develop -- but the hard luck saga of all the main characters -- Owner, trainer, Jockey and horse --- all came together nicely and made for heartwarming movie. I enjoyed the parallels to what the country was suffering and overcoming at the same time.
You won't be disappointed. Except for some rough language -- a great family movie, full of inspiration.
