Secretariat
U; DRAMA
Dir: Randall Wallace
Cast: Diane Lane, John Malkovich, Scott Glenn, James Cromwell
RATING: **



What's it about: There's a racehorse named Secretariat, a father-daughter duo trying to save their ranch from being sold, and Disney's producing it, so you know what to expect! A mush fest about an underdog winning the race.
The flick has Diane Lane playing Penny Chener while John Malkovich plays her horse trainer. The movie is a journey of how destiny changes their fortunes all thanks to a horse that refuses to let go! Along the way you also get a firsthand account of what happens in the boundaries of a race course.

What's hot: Malkovich is superb as the quirky horse trainer who tests everyone's patience. Already a stalwart he always brings something new to the table. His scenes with Lane are most interesting. Scenes of Penny's interaction with the horse and even moments of doubt are well written and make the film more believable.
