| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonTension in the final section is never enough to send pulses galloping, making this more of a trot over well-trodden ground than a hot tip. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterMaybe it will all seem better one bank holiday Monday on the telly. |
| Birmingham PostGraham YoungThe story unfolds with all of the predictability of a simple jam sandwich... |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansUltimately, it's a bit of a point-to-point nag rather than a Derby winner. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchI wish it were better, but it's more hardtack than Seabiscuit. |
| User ReviewNick SA nice, easy going story set 'up north' in England. Bob Hoskins delights as usual, and the cast are great fun to watch. One for a rainy Sunday afternoon. |
| User ReviewKarsh DNice little british comedy. Excellent cast make the most of a very simple plot |
| User ReviewPaul DExtremely far-fetched light drama that relies very much on a dreamlike audience to accept the very dreamlike story. |
| User ReviewAna BBritish comedy set in the 80's against the backdrop of Thatcher's privatizations and social unrest. A group of seven friends very affected by the economical situation decide to risk their savings buying a racing horse that was in "special offer", the Mumper; the movie goes on telling us their adventures with the horse but also their personal and professional lives in a moment where Britain was extremely agitated. There are some funny and poignant moments but there isn't anything truly special here. It is easy to follow but it feels like the horse it is a mere excuse to show us their financial crisis, as there is really very little racing. Not a bad effort but it needs more sparkle. |
