Racing Stripes

Frankie Muniz, Hayden Panettiere, Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Mandy Moore

In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some very precious cargo--a baby zebra. Horse farmer Nolan Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channin...( read more  read more... )g, rescues the gangly little foal. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or "Stripes," as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm's misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. Goose, a deranged big-city pelican that's hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey, joins the group. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm - in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing's top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he's hooked--he knows that if he could just get the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust. What he doesn't know is--he's not exactly a horse. But with characteristic zeal, he devotes himself to training for the big time, with a little help from Tucker, who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

    I had no choice but to watch this on a flight once. I bought several of those little alcohol bottles and even had a Xanex and STILL I was annoyed to living hell by this movie. First off, Frankie lost his charm when he grew up and started going nuts in real life. Second, Hayden is...( read more) just too cute to be in this mess and third, what the hell is Dustin Hoffman doing in this film? Is he that hard up for a paycheck? A total waste of time and a terrible movie with dialogue so bad it made me want to OD if I had more drugs.
