Seabiscuit (2003)

Cast: David McCullough (Narrator), Jeff Bridges (Charles Howard), Chris Cooper (Tom Smith), Tobey Maguire (Red Pollard)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Seabiscuit page.

I love horses and this movie sounded like it was just my kind of flick. Instead, it seemed a lot longer than it was, since I was bored out of my mind.

Had I been prepared for a documentary instead of a major motion picture, perhaps I could have enjoyed it. If I'd been at home watching Discovery Channel or the History Channel, that'd be one thing. But I wasn't. I was at a movie theater, where we'd all paid plenty of money. I didn't want to be educated. I wanted to be entertained. The black and white clips and the narrating bothered me more than I could say.

I never got interested in Red or Seabiscuit or anyone else in the movie. I just wanted the boring movie to end, which it did... eventually.

Grade: C-
