Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A misfit group of New Mexico cowboys find themselves on the journey of a lifetime when their crooked-footed racehorse qualifies for the Kentucky Derby. Based on the inspiring true story of Mine That Bird, the cowboys face a series of mishaps on their way to Churchill Downs, becoming the ultimate underdogs in a final showdown with the world’s racing elite.”

Poster: C-

Review: The design is a bit too dark and tries very hard to get creative by borrowing from other designs that were attempting to be creative by borrowing from yet more designs that might have actually been creative years ago.

Trailer: C+

Review: An underdog story that convinces the audience that just finishing the race is all that matters may not seem like the kind of broadly popular entertainment that sells these days and you would be right. By casting Skeet Ulrich, you’re already dooming yourself to the discount bin. Not because Ulrich is a bad actor, but because he has a knack for picking terrible projects.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
