	Seabiscuit \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Lisa Schwarzbaum is a film critic for EW Movie touts desperate for a winner may be forgiven for pinning such high hopes on Seabiscuit.
		Seabiscuit's trainer, Tom Smith, was a taciturn loner, a cowboy more at home with animals than people.
		As if he feared that a handsomely shot movie about men and a horse who defied defeat together wouldn't be moving enough, Ross has turned his ''Seabiscuit'' into something less passionate and more hortatory: a Ken Burns-earnest essay about the character of America, speeches and all.

	Movie Photos: Seabiscuit
		SEABISCUIT, a story about a horse that's too small, a jockey that's too tall, a trainer that's too old and an owner that's too stupid to know he's attempting the impossible, is a movie that's too long and too sappy, but it manages to be fine entertainment nonetheless.
		As it builds to "the race of the century," when little Seabiscuit challenges the undefeated War Admiral, a battleship-sized, coal-fl horse with the speed of a locomotive, the movie cuts frequently to newsreel footage as the country is fighting its battle against the Great Depression.
		He comes back from the death of a son and the dissolution of a marriage to be the owner of Seabiscuit, a race horse given up on as a loser.

	Seabiscuit-An American Legend
		Seabiscuit was in serious need of some rest and relaxation, and a chance to form a bond with people.
		Seabiscuit's new companions were a stray dog named Pocatell, a spider monkey known as Jo Jo, and his lifelong traveling mate, a calm horse name Pumpkin.
		Seabiscuit’s 5 year old season started off with a bang, as just weeks before he was to run in the Santa Anita Derby for the second time, he was jockey less.

	Movie Review - Seabiscuit
		Seabiscuit is the true story of a Depression-era equine hero and his underdog jockey Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire), who overcame incredible odds to win the hearts and raise the spirits of a nation drowning in economic crisis.
		Seabiscuit proves to be a stubborn animal, preferring to lie in the grass all day rather than obey its owner.
		Seabiscuit is next heard fighting from the inside of his new stall, bucking and rearing against his rope restraints.

	Movie Review: Seabiscuit
		And so, like it says in the movie trailer, a man who is too old trains a horse who is too small and ridden by a jockey who is too big, all for an owner who is "too dumb to know the difference".
		And as history notes, Seabiscuit becomes the great champion he was meant to be, thanks to men who, having received second chances themselves, believed the horse was worth another look as well.
		Seabiscuit is both heartbreaking and uplifting, as well as a story from which we could all learn a little something.

	KidScore Movie Reviews Seabiscuit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		Seabiscuit is a short, spindly-legged horse with more heart then all the other horses put together.
		The movie is a beautifully written and acted story without a lot of special effects, a little slow moving at times, but a good story well told.
		Linda sees over 150 movies a year and has had the opportunity to interview a number of directors and actors when they are in town.

	Seabiscuit Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Seabiscuit is the story of four unlikely journeys crossing paths, one of which happens to be that of a horse.
		Even more so than that basketball film or Rocky, this is perhaps the ultimate comeback/underdog movie, because the fact that the horse is past his prime and overcomes a bad leg to win one of racing's richest prizes serves as a metaphor for the beat-up nation that cheered him on.
		Seabiscuit reunites Ross with Pleasantville collaborators Maguire and William H. Macy, and the latter's performance as a racing announcer is one of the film's highlights.

	Seabiscuit Movie Review
		Seabiscuit and his jockey Red Pollard (played by Tobey Maguire) were both extreme underdogs that developed a special bond with each other and managed to overcome personal hurdles to achieve the impossible.
		But such races are not all this movie is about, for at its foundation Seabiscuit is a look at the spiritually wounded individuals who eventually overcome their personal demons.
		While this may be a fault to some, I don't mind that the movie just touched upon such elements lightly, for it leaves us with a film that gives us a relatively accurate picture of the legendary Seabiscuit while still remaining a movie perfectly suited to all members of the family.

	Dan Heller's Movie Review of "Seabiscuit"
		Seabiscuit, the true story of a knobby-kneed racehorse and three men down on their luck, is the latest Docu-Epic from Hollywood, beautifully filmed in California, with its signature late-afternoon golden light, close-up intimate shots of emotional facial expressions, and the freedom-like feeling anyone gets when watching a horse run freely in a pasture.
		It's not a terrible movie by the home stretch of the imagination, but like my early characterization, "Seabiscuit" is a huge glorification of a documentary intended only to show the best side of an otherwise ratty bunch of well-meaning characters.
		Seabiscuit and the three men, all down and out underdogs with their independent and wretched pasts, all helped revive each other through Seabiscuit, and give the American people a reason to hope during the Great Depression.

	Seabiscuit - Movie Reviews - Care2.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		But the main one is the way the movie shows the triumph of the underdog spread fourfold among three men and a horse.
		Seabiscuit's ability to tug at the heartstrings first appears when Red Pollard is let go by his destitute father so he can be a jockey.
		We have to allow for the exigencies of filmmaking that required ten horses to be used for Seabiscuit, leading to the irony that this unique horse is a composite.

	Lee's Movie Info - Seabiscuit Review
		Seabiscuit starts up with a narrator introducing the time period and the film’s setting, and even over time the characters take the image of the narrator, shoving every theme the story has to offer down our throats to the point of suffocation.
		Seabiscuit will hand the majority of mainstream audiences what they crave, and in that angle I can’t really criticize the way things are since everyone has their tastes.
		Seabiscuit is the first movie in my entire lifetime that I have walked out of before the ending credits began to roll; but as poor as that sounds, the movie is not bad – I was just getting fed up with the extreme simplicity of it.

	Seabiscuit and Red Pollard - Reel Faces at ChasingtheFrog
		Seabiscuit was a direct descendant (grandson) of the legendary horse Man O'War.
		Looking back prior to Seabiscuit's Santa Anita win, when both he and Seabiscuit were too broken down and injured to conceivably ever race again, Red remembered, "Seabiscuit and I were a couple of old cripples together, all washed up.
		Seabiscuit's overall racing record was 89 starts, 33 wins, 15 second place finishes, 13 thirds, and his total earnings were $437,730.

	Seabiscuit Movie Review - Seabiscuit Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		A lot of hopes are riding on this movie as the one grown-up summer experience in a field of clanging toys, and in almost all the ways that count, ''Seabiscuit'' comes through.
		Seabiscuit transformed all three men, and a country too, in ways that were more subtle and enchanting in the book than in its sweeping, appealingly sentimental screen version.
		The movie follows the general outlines of the real story -- the key races, accidents, and comebacks -- but its dramatic linchpin is the 1938 contest against War Admiral, the pride of the East Coast elite and, as portrayed in the film, the Death Star with fetlocks.

	Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - Movie Review - Seabiscuit
		Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Laura Hillenbrand, Gary Ross' screenplay of Seabiscuit equates the hardships of the horse, his owner, his rider and his trainer to the effect that the Great Depression was having on Americans during the 1930s.
		Standing as one of the film's strongest suits, its outstanding cast is headed by Jeff Bridges as Charles Howard, Seabiscuit's soft-hearted but stubborn owner who rose from the ashes of a devastating divorce and the loss of his only son, to become the reluctant owner of one of the most famous racehorses in American history.
		Seabiscuit is an emotionally uplifting story that might seem implausible were it not for the fact that it really happened.

	Seabiscuit - Movie Rental Review
		The first hour of the movie is spent painting the background and laying the course for its four main characters as they converge on their rightful roles as talented jockey, proud owner, wise trainer, and superstar racehorse respectively.
		The earnestness of the second half of the movie is broken by the sly wit of Smith and the delightfully funny diatribes by racing announcer "Tick Tock" McGoughlin (William H. Macy, as on point as ever).
		"Seabiscuit" has all the tension, movement and excitement audiences expect from summer flicks, but it has the added bonus of strong acting, which in the summer is often replaced by computer animation or exploding cars.

	Movie Review - Seabiscuit - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		Without much effort at all, Seabiscuit the horse can be seen as a representative of America: strong and resilient, down but not out, bent but not broken.
		Give us a movie that makes us feel good about ourselves, and about the old-fashioned American values of determination and fortitude, and we'll go anywhere you want to take us.
		Ross is not shy in playing up the parallels between Red and Seabiscuit, and Maguire's scenes with the horse (a 4-year-old gelding called Fighting Furarri) are sweetly moving, like two old friends hanging out together.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Seabiscuit Movie Review
		Seabiscuit was nobody's idea of a winner, but in the hope-starved days of the Great Depression, he became an unlikely champion for a downtrodden nation.
		The surprise is what an unqualified success it is. Seabiscuit is a triumph of storytelling craftsmanship, a great film less for its subject matter than for the care it takes in presenting it to us.
		Seabiscuit invests thought and energy into its characters, its circumstances, and the ornery racehorse at its heart.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Seabiscuit" review (2003) Gary Ross, Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges
		The miracle success story of a too-small steed and his too-large jockey who together came to dominate and popularize horse racing in the late 1930s, the film is a metaphor for the underdog hope of the era that it captures so transportingly.
		While "Seabiscuit" takes place is a romanticized world without vice (exposing Pollard's alcoholism or the gambling that drives horseracing would break the movie's sanguine spell) and sometimes simplifies storytelling through coincidence, Ross and cinematographer John Schwartzman ("The Rookie") recover the film's realism in the vivid electricity they bring to the racetrack scenes.
		After bonding with Seabiscuit and the other characters as he's retrained to unleash his inborn bravado, when these two punch out of the starting gate with fiery but unruffled gusto, it raises goosebumps that don't subside for the rest of the movie.

	Seabiscuit movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Speaking of the Seabiscuit, the horse is wobbly legged and a receiver of scrutiny for being too small to race.
		Seabiscuit is sort of like the Rocky (1976) or Rudy (1993) of horse racing, and it is in fact a true story.
		Seabiscuit’s rise from no-hoper to horseracing legend would symbolise the era and ignite the belief and passion demoralised public.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Seabiscuit
		July 28, 2003 -- “Seabiscuit” is a throwback to the earlier days of Hollywood, when films were made for mainstream audiences, films without a lot of New Age mumbo jumbo, cynicism and political correctness.
		Seabiscuit himself was a hard luck case prior to linking up with the three men.
		He delivers one of the best lines in the entire film, “It's better to break a man's leg than to break his heart.” It is an emotional scene in a film filled with emotional scenes.

	Seabiscuit Movie Review
		This inspirational movie, based on Laura Hillenbrand's bestseller, follows a half-blind ex-boxer (Tobey Maguire), a mustang breaker (Chris Cooper) and a millionaire (Jeff Bridges) as they bring their knobby-kneed, undersized racehorse, Seabiscuit, to win Horse of the Year honors in 1938.
		There were 15 horses who played Seabiscuit for various scenes (a few for racing, one for close-ups, one for acting-up scenes, one for lying down, etc.) and I have to give kudos to McCarron, who handpicked each animal, and to Ross, who directed them to perfection.

	Seabiscuit is gorgeous, sappy fluff. - By David Edelstein - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		The new movie Seabiscuit (Universal), directed and adapted for the screen by Gary Ross, has a warm glow.
		But you look at Seabiscuit and think, "Oh, a horse." Once in a while there's a close-up of his eye to suggest that he's taking everything in, but the charged relationship among horse, trainer, and jockey is alluded to by the narrator without really being dramatized.
		The movie featured Shirley Temple and one of Seabiscuit's sons, who reportedly had his father's look but was so slow that that he couldn't manage to win against the glorified plow horse they'd cast as his most famous adversary, War Admiral.

		Led by Tobey Maguire as Seabiscuit's hard-luck jockey, the film's first-rate cast is uniformly excellent, including William H. Macy as a wacky trackside announcer who fills this earnest film with a much-needed spirit of fun.
		Seabiscuit is a hero and an inspiration in his own right, not only because he won races - but also because he gave hope to so many people at a time when they really needed it.
		Seabiscuit was too small and not well trained when Charles Howard, a self-made rich man recovering from a personal tragedy, took him on.

		Much like the real life Seabiscuit, this movie carries on its shoulders the hopes and dreams of the underdogs - a moviegoing public and collection of critics who are tired of the endless string of mindless sequels that damage our hearing with their high volume explosions and unoriginal car chases.
		He is convinced to purchase the laziest, meanest, most untrainable horse around, Seabiscuit, and with the help of a strange, almost mystical trainer, Tom Smith (Chris Cooper), and an oversized jockey who makes ends meet by boxing on the side, Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire), they attempt to make Seabiscuit into a winner.
		The Seabiscuit introduction sequence gives the movie the life and energy that it should have had from the first minute.

	Reel Movie Guys - Seabiscuit Review
		If a good sports movie is based on a true story, the audience still finds itself cheering along at the already-known end.
		It seems rather likely that Seabiscuit will triumph as the story unwinds, but prepare to feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up regardless.
		Maguire is effective as Red Pollard, the underdog friend and jockey of the heavy underdog star of the movie.
