Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Respectable when it should be thrilling, honorable when it should be rough and ready.

[It] may be too airbrushed for its own good, but in the end nothing can stop this story from putting a lump in your throat.

rotten:
I found this film stultifyingly self-important and, despite the regularity with which it cuts to the chase, weirdly static.

rotten:
For a film about an unfancied underdog, Seabiscuit is just far too pleased with itself.

rotten:
Watching this movie, you get the feeling that the Depression existed so that Seabiscuit could be memorialized.
