Even if you’ve never heard any of this back story — let alone anything about Mine That Bird — the outcome of the film is never seriously in doubt. That leaves filmmaker Jim Wilson in the predicament of having to entertain us by showing how the horse and his handlers get their act together. Unfortunately, 50 to 1 never really does that.

It’s more of a bawdy buddy movie about the horse’s trainer, Chip Woolley, and owner, Mark Allen (who exec produced), with a bit of slapstick thrown in. Read full review

While the film isn't without charming moments -- the Derby sequence is entertaining -- the lack of narrative sophistication grates. Read full review

Far too much of this plodding picture is spent on odd couple Chip and Alex's road trip transporting Mine That Bird to Kentucky. Forced atmospherics, clichéd action bits and some tone-deaf slapstick weigh things down as well. Read full review

I got the move on 4/28 and I've watched it twice. The movie is not so much about horse-racing as it is about friendship, loyalty and beating the odds. It's fun and family friendly...although it made me cry both times even though we all know how it ends!
