I'm getting anxious to see what happens over the next few days - as the mainstream reviews roll out -- and then next weekend when the film opens... Because I was hardly impressed by it, and that was completely excusing the racing-related gaffes. I certainly don't agree at all that "You wouldn't think it was Disney one bit." I think it has Disney written all over it. I found it hokey and I thought the (limited) budget showed (Evangeline for Saratoga???).
So my prediction is for a short, undistinguished theater-run.
But, I'll be happy to be wrong. And clearly some of the early reviews are in disagreement with me.
So this next week should prove interesting.
