The most overlooked movie of 2003. Yes, it starts off hokey and too slow, with a bad/corny voice over. And yes, William H. Macy is just chewing scenery. But there's just too much wisdom/good writing/subtle shooting/and great acting for this movie not to effect hearts. The scene where Seabiscuit rides in the dark is truly mind blowing. Tobey Maguire has never been this good, and Jeff Bridges deserves an Oscar.
I went to a boarding school and this was the greatest book I ever read about boarding schools. However this movie is very weak version of the book. I wish they would make it again with a better cast. It just doesn't capture the magic of Knowles' writing.
