I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I do not buy very many DVDs, but I plan to buy this one when it comes out. I wasn't sure how my friend would like the movie and when the movie finished, she said it was very good and she wanted to jump out her seat and cheer Secretariat on. Also I cannot remember being at a movie and the audience clapping applause when it finished.
I enjoyed the movie. Thank you !
Nice family movie with positive message. Enjoyable to watch.
A real tear-jerker, I can't help but cry my heart out! This is really an awesome and heart-warming movie, being based on a true to life story. It is very inspiring and a major lesson learned not only by me personally, but for sure, all other women, as well as men, in general. I wouldn't mind going again to see this movie for the second time... no doubt about it!
Excellent movie , good acting . Great story
I looked forward to this movie for a long time, and I really wanted to love it. Sadly, I came away disappointed. The story was true to the facts, and the racing shots were spectacular. What troubled me was the fact that the drama seemed manufactured and there really was no antagonist. The attempt was made to make the owner of Secretariat's rival "Sham" come accross as a loud mouthed egotist, but I didn't really buy him as a villian. Same thing with the male dominated thoroughbred industry where she was treated like an outsider who should go back home to her cooking and baking. There simply was no drama, so for me, the movie became a telling of a story that I'm all too familiar with, nothin
great movie, inspiring, interesting and really enjoyed performance by Diane Lane as Secretariats horse owner.
An amazing inspirational story. Every little experience Penny had I felt a connection to and I loved the feeling I got hearing the horses race and knowing that she had that deep connection with Secretariat. Absolutely amazing.
It was a powerful story. We loved how the threads of the story were woven together. It's a true story, so we knoew what would happen, but it was still full of suspense and kept us on the edge of our seat!
Great movie overall, with a good story. Would definitely recommend it.
