Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The true-life horse-racing tale "50 to 1" takes forever to get galloping - and when it finally does, it's too little too late. May 22, 2014 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post If "50 to 1" were about 15 minutes shorter, all of this might have made for a passable diversion. As it is, "50 to 1," much like Mine That Bird, flags before reaching the finish line. Rated: 2/4 May 22, 2014 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Though infinitely more real than the symbolically bloated Seabiscuit of over a decade ago, 50 to 1 never completely gets under the skin of horse racing. Rated: 2/5 Apr 10, 2014 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Captivating us with the story of the little two-year old horse that could, and did, [Jim] Wilson makes us all feel like winners. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 14, 2019 Full Review Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer Wilson has owned and raced horses for years and once had a 190-acre ranch in California. And he has made the kind of film he might have seen as a kid, one where patience and hard work get rewarded at the 11th hour. Rated: B Jun 26, 2014 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Earnest but cliche-ridden...you're left with the feeling you've seen it all many times before, and needn't have seen it again. Rated: C- Apr 7, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Engrossing, fabulous and inspiring film! Anyone who says "neigh" to that is not a true horse racing fan. I have viewed it several times and will do so again and again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought the actors did a good job and the movie was very enjoyable.
