In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Since the Kentucky Derby is this weekend, I decided to watch this movie again. I really don't need a reason to watch any thing Christian Kane is in and he is great in this movie! So are all the other actors in the film. I remember this race well and it's a great story of the little horse that could and did. Added bonus was getting to hear a little bit of Christian Kane's songs. Great Family Movie for all to enjoy. If you haven't seen it, I would say to definitely check it out.

I love this movie! It's too bad that family friendly movies, such as 50 to 1, is NOT put out by major movie studios anymore; except for Disney and Pixar! There's a little violence in the opening bar scene but much less than a Bugs Bunny Cartoon! AND, it's a vital part of the story, Which is a TRUE story of beating the odds! Why wasn't this movie picked up by a major studio! This movie should be seen and adored by millions! Look at the money that could've been made! If a movie isn't full of blood and gore, or magical and fantastical and made for tens of millions of dollars if not more, it's not worth making! The acting is amazing and the horse that was used was great! It's such a feel good, pick yourself up by the bootstraps movie!

Something almost no one will ask themselves. But a former Scream star and a former Angel regular meet up here to go riding. Or something like that. It's a decent movie about people who struggle to make a living but still pursuing a dream. The acting is also more than decent, the story develops nicely.You may like it more or less, though I was surprised about the voting average. It's higher than I expected it to be. I guess stories about animals still are something people like to watch. Horses are a good match too, because of what they represent (human values too, being cast aside, no one believing in them anymore and so forth). If that floats your boat, go for it, if not, better not watch

I dig stories about underdogs, and this is certainly in that vein. It's a feel-good film fit for the whole family. It features a superb cast in Christian Kane, Skeet Ulrich, and William Devane. And Calvin Borel, the actual jockey who rode Mine That Bird in the winning Kentucky Derby steals the show as he plays himself.I had to wait a long time to see this film, because it was in limited release when it first came out, but it was worth the wait. The cast, crew, and everyone involved with the film put a lot of love into this film. Great movie for family night or if you've had a rotten day and just want to put a smile on your face.
