I'm not big on horse movies.I'm not big on it's-obvious-the-guy-will-win-the-race kinds of movies.I'm not thrilled with Tobey Maguire (although Spider-Man was the best superhero movie, overall, ever made in spite of him and in some SMALL way because of him).This won me over anyway. It's a feel-good story. You'll read all kinds of other things and reviews about it, but it's a fell-good story in the end and it does that adequately... no very well.
