I enjoyed Seabiscuit. I didn't think it was too longer nor did I find it too trite. I thought it was a pretty typical family movie. It reminds me a lot of Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken except it wasn't about a girl and it wasn't rated G. (I just noticed that Wild Hearts is listed at an "If you like this tittle.." recommendation on IMDB; I must not be the only one to have drawn the similarity.
