Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 4 -- It is a great film about greatness, the story of the horse and the no less brave woman who had faith in him.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: B- --
If you want to see a movie about a woman who loves her horse, or who is literally (as opposed to figuratively) risking everything for either a conviction or for any kind of altruistic goal, this isn't it.

Assignment X
Rating: 2/4 --
It teeters between pleasantly generic film biography and rank manipulation.

Movie Nation
Rating: 3/5 --
This horsey, 1970s-set Disney film doesn't boast the most imaginative script and is too long and businesslike for youngsters -- yet it still produces a lump in the throat.

Penny Chenery always said Big Red was all heart. She was right. This weekend, fill your heart with Secretariat.

Behind The Lens
Rating: 1/5 --
Just when we thought John Malkovich didn't have another semi-intentionally deranged performance left in him, he has come storming back with another uproarious turn...

Rating: B --
Lane is solid in the lead, while Malkovich, Margo Martindale and James Cromwell have their moments in supporting roles.

Product Description:
A housewife with little knowledge of horse-racing fosters one of the greatest race horses of all time as the story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner comes to the screen in this inspirational underdog drama based on the novel SECRETARIAT: THE MAKING OF A CHAMPION by William Nack and starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich. Penny Chenery (Lane) is a devoted mother and housewife whose ailing father is the proprietor of Meadow Stables in Virginia. When her father becomes too ill to tend to his horses, Penny agrees to take over the stables despite her inexperience. Desperate, she turns to veteran horse trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich) to help show her the ropes. Up to this point, horse racing has been a decidedly male-dominated sport. But with Lucien's help, Penny prepares to prove that gender has no bearing on one's ability to breed a fast race horse. As Secretariat blasts out of the gates to leave his competition in the dust, the whole world watches in amazement, and a legend is born.
