| User ReviewCurtis RThis is not the actual story of the legendary racehorse Seabiscuit. Imagine a parallel universe where the horses and the races were real but the human characters surrounding them were fictional but the characters were so likeable that you wish this was the true story of Seabiscuit and that's what you have with this stunningly beautiful Technicolor masterpiece. Seabiscuit is actually a background character in this film. It centers around a wise elderly Irish horsetrainer Fitzgerald who sees the early potential in the seemingly broken down horse, his gorgeous niece Margaret played by a now grown child star Shirley Temple whom due to losing her brother to the sport doesn't share his interest, and a hope filled jockey Knowles played by a too big Lon McCallister who wants nothing more than to ride Seabiscuit into the history books and woo the cynical Margaret into becoming Mrs. Ted Knowles. |

| User ReviewJaime MVery cute movie - Shirley Temple and Lon McCallister shine! (If you can look over the "Hollywoodizing" of Seabiscuit's story.) |
| User ReviewRobert BHistorically inaccurate, badly acted, predictable, and stupid. But, you know, Shirley Temple. |
| User ReviewSue KLudicrous fun. Hey, it's Shirley Temple! So what if her Irish brogue is pretty pathetic. Don't watch this if you're looking for a factual representation of the Seabiscuit story. |
| User ReviewSarah SAnnoying. That word just about sums it up for me. And if the squirm worthy acting in first few scenes don't scare you off, I applaud you. |
