I'm critical that it feels in tone, content and quality, like a Lifetime TV movie. The racing gaffes I could easily overlook - if the story and direction were strong. They weren't -- at least for me.

I'm with you in hoping the movie does well and provides some decent exposure for the sport. The timing could dovetail nicely with BC promotional efforts.

But, for me, the movie was a "miss". Mildly entertaining at best. And it "missed" in ways that even the general public will be aware of.

We'll see...
