ok, it's a very good movie and I must admit I let some of the critic reviews set my expectation bar a little lower. The story follows the book pretty well for the most part, except for some scenes but Kevin Costner's voice as Enzo actually worked pretty well. The movie has good drama, racing scenes and nice Garth Stein proverbs through the story, especially: “There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose.” The last 10 - 15 minutes will melt your heart and restore anyone's faith that you can turn around nearly any negative situation in life. The E9 scenes and generally racing footage are also very good.
Take your spouses, your kids or, in my case, my very good E9 pals.
