Rating: 3/5 -- Like the majority of its subjects, this inspiring doc may not be able to hang with the big girls and boys at the front of the box office pack, but it looks to have the legs to last in the right theatres -- perhaps especially so during the Olympics. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Captures the preparation and, in an understandably restricted way, the race of the film's participants. And it's really moving.
