Product Description
The true story of a legendary race horse that overcome all the odds to win the triple crown. The owner trainer and jockey were all underdogs that shined at the moment our country needed it the most. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Tobey Maguire Elizabeth Banks Run time: 141 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Gary Ross

Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood's staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand's captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material--and David McCullough's familiar PBS-styled narration--to pay Ken Burns-like tribute to Hillenbrand's acclaimed history of Seabiscuit, the knobby-kneed thoroughbred who "came from behind" in the late 1930s to win the hearts of Depression-weary Americans. That caveat aside, Ross's adaptation retains much of the horse-and-human heroism that Hillenbrand so effectively conveyed; this is a classically styled "legend" movie like The Natural, which was also heightened by a lushly sentimental Randy Newman score. 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. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Seabiscuit   August 3, 2008
Rosemarie J. Cusumano
"The dvd arrived in a timely manner; it is in pristine condition consisting of two discs which include the movie and a supplemental disc which I had not realized was included. Very good value for the price.


5 out of 5 stars This movie will own your heart!   June 19, 2008
Merna D. Throne (USA)
Seabiscuit will draw you in and keep you captivated throughout the movie. Jeff Bridges is wonderful in this movie. The tragedies in this movie are heartbreaking, but the survival is amazing.

A must own movie to watch again and again...

5 out of 5 stars great horse racing movie for the ages   May 8, 2008
J. Shinn (santa barbara,)
This is a classic and major award winner in many categories. Wonderful film about a jockey, a horse and it's owner. Even if a lot of it is fictional but based upon true accounts and a real horse name Seabiscuit, this is one to keep in the collection forever.
