In 2009, the owners of Mine That Bird begin an important journey when their colt qualifies for the Kentucky Derby, the first jewel in U.S. horse racing's Triple Crown.

The true-life horse-racing tale "50 to 1" takes forever to get galloping - and when it finally does, it's too little too late.

If "50 to 1" were about 15 minutes shorter, all of this might have made for a passable diversion. As it is, "50 to 1," much like Mine That Bird, flags before reaching the finish line.

Though infinitely more real than the symbolically bloated Seabiscuit of over a decade ago, 50 to 1 never completely gets under the skin of horse racing.

3.5/5

Captivating us with the story of the little two-year old horse that could, and did, [Jim] Wilson makes us all feel like winners.

Wilson has owned and raced horses for years and once had a 190-acre ranch in California. And he has made the kind of film he might have seen as a kid, one where patience and hard work get rewarded at the 11th hour.

C-

Earnest but cliche-ridden...you're left with the feeling you've seen it all many times before, and needn't have seen it again.

Great movie about a race horse, Mine That Bird, and his life leading up to and winning the Kentucky Derby. The real jockey who rode Mine That Bird to the win the Kentucky Derby does a wonderful job acting in this movie as does Christian Kane
