Seabiscuit holds with many of the traditions of a typical sports movie, but luckily knows when to steer clear of the big clichés. Some of the things this horse did are so amazing that if they were not true you would not even consider writing them into a story. It would be too far fetched. Where this movie most succeeds is with its three main characters. Jeff Bridges plays the owner Charles Howard, Chris Cooper plays the trainer Tom Smith and Tobey Maquire plays the jockey Red Pollard. Each man has his own demons he is trying to overcome and Seabiscuit is the one thing that allows all three of them to get back something they have lost. The other huge strength of this movie is how well it sets you into the time of the Depression and how much Seabiscuit meant to the country in its time of need. Is the movie sometimes maybe a little too sentimental, sure, but in the end I was more moved by this movie than I ever would have expected going in it.
