Woman inherits a horse farm in decline. Defies the doubters. Raises a champion.

Disney to the core.

It really is to the core. A genial Disney gloss can't really hide how massively condescending it all is.

i didn't think it was bad as all that. I preferred the SEABISCUIT movie, but this sort of stolid, self-consciously earnest movie has its place. It's well crafted, at least.

i saw it on cable, and so had little investment. it did not offend me. i was moderately engaged by the story. I would give it 2 1/2 * to 3 *. Sorry, but it engendered no great insights, no rage, no love.
