Secretariat: What age would like this movie and is it really that good? I didn't hear a lot of hype about this movie so not sure what ages would enjoy it, and if it is really that good. Is this a waste of my families time and money to rent.

My family loved this movie! I was a little mixed before we saw it at the movie theaters, however we all walked out all very happy that we saw it. There wasn't one thing in the movie that was offensive, inappropriate and it had a great uplifting message, especially for girls. For a movie that seem to just come and go without a lot of hype I think it was one of the best family movies in 2010. The ages of my kids were 5,6 and 10.

Parents need to know that this 1970s-set biopic about Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) and her extraordinary horse, Secretariat, has very little content that's inappropriate for kids, although very young viewers probably won't be too excited about a horse movie in which the horse doesn't talk. It deals with sexism in the horse-breeding community and a woman's "place" in the business sphere in the early 1970s, but the language is still rather mild (mostly just stuff like "housewife" used derisively, for example). Penny is a fantastic role model for kids -- particularly young women -- and the story is uplifting and educational for families. Ages 6+ for this movie, probably more appealing to the 8+ crowd.
