Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Tilly's ample bosom, heaving up and down while cheering for various races, seems to garner more screentime than most other supporting players. Rated: 4/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Let It Ride limps to its conclusion, though it doesn't go down without a fight. Pytka struggles to keep the bottle rocket vibe of the movie engaged to the bitter end. Rated: C Aug 26, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Low-key and forgettable... Rated: 2/4 Mar 19, 2008 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Rated: 1/5 Jul 13, 2004 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 2/5 May 23, 2003 Full Review Brian Mckay eFilmCritic.com quirky but fun comedy. Dreyfuss is charming as the compulsive gambler. Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle R A wonderful character study, and finally a big break for a lovable loser. Richard Dreyfuss at his best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Audience Member This is a decent film. 30% seems kind of unfair. Almost like the critics thought they deserved a mind boggling unforgettable experience about the psychology of a gambler or something. What this movie really is, is charming. It’s get funny characters, oddly good cinematography, and some pretty well acted scenes. I also love how everyone fell in love with him throughout the movie, kinda like “The Terminal” where Viktor wins over everyone at the airport. 3.5/5 stars, pretty darn decent. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Frank R This is a must see for all thoroughbred racing fans. Ridiculously funny. You will know some of these characters from your trips to the races. I watch it every year with a friend before The Breeder's Cup races. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Russ C This is the definition of a fun movie with good acting from actors you know. I think some movie critics just dislike good movies over the artsy and boring ones. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Bryan M Yes, the movie can be pretty campy at times but I have always loved this movie! Whenever I see it, it picks up my mood with its positive can do spirit. I love all the actors and the characters they played, it is a cult classic in my book. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Dave J Offbeat, strangely heartwarming comedy that grows on you with its quirky characters. I especially loved the role of Robbie Coltrane as the ticket seller. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
