Secretariat
Interesting. It looks likes my original fears of getting a bit too Disney'd seem to be in play here. That being said I think the film still has potential as long as you can chalk up the schmaltz to pandering to a bigger audience. Director Randall Wallace wrote Braveheart so that should get some extra cool kid points too or something.
Also Malkovich dressing like Superfly.
Synopsis:
Based on the impossible true story, SECRETARIAT chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (DIANE LANE) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (JOHN MALKOVICH)—manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.
