To me, this movie is perfection.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

We enjoyed the original story as it played out on the race track, and this movie does not disappoint. It was truly a feel good root for the underdog type of film that anyone can enjoy. Bravo, and thank you for a wonderful evening's entertainment.

I was able to see 50 to 1 at an awesome theater in California. This movie is heart warming and a feel good movie! The cast was perfectly picked. I must say that I am a fan of Christian Kane and was really looking forward to seeing this movie. It was great to hear one of his songs in the movie as well. Christian Kane is extremely talented. Calvin Borels story of what happened with him and Mind that Bird, makes you have hope again that anything can happen if you give your all. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes true stories brought to film. Mind that Bird is such a beautiful horse. Watch the movie, you won't be disappointed!

I enjoyed the movie, mostly because I love horse racing. The main character, Chip Woolley comes across unlikeable and never redeems himself. This was a very interesting path chosen by the Director and it made me wonder if that's how the man is in real life. Hope not. Calvin Borel was amazing, and the historical footage they used of him was priceless. Major props to racetracks, race announcers, and corporations that held rights to the intellectual properties used in the film.Last thought, wasn't Bob Baffert a quarter horse guy running out Tucson, Arizona ? I can't imagine a quarter horse guy being down on "cowboys" like Mark Allen. I am no fan of Baffert but it seems like a disingenuous portrayal of the man.

The best movie ever! You gotta see it and your husband will love it too~ Not a dull moment. A lot of heart put into this movie, and the acting is flawless. Totally enjoyed it. Very well written and produced...Cute actors kept my full attention at all times and I never can usually sit long enough to watch a full movie...I have recommended to all my friends and family...Be sure and leave your positive reviews on these movie rating sites. This movie has not been given the full credit it deserves. Not sure what the critics are looking for but maybe they don't like a wonderfully enjoyable family movie that is hard to find these days with enough action to keep the Dads attention too. Well, this movie has it all..I was at the grocery store looking at rentals, and a lady suggested it and said her and her husband really enjoyed it..So glad they pointed it out! Buy the DVD for gifts and share with friends..
