Family Pick
‘Secretariat’

This inspiring movie celebrates and incorporates references to faith and timeless American values.While the film is well-acted and family-friendly, it focuses more on Penny’s journey than on the iconic racehorse himself.

An Outlandish Comedy That Works

The supporting cast, including Annabeth Gish as his love interest, and Keith Coogan adds additional charm. With a catchy soundtrack and 1980s flair, the far-fetched story is surprisingly effective.
