THR - A straightforward attempt to mine Christopher Guest-style humor out of a sad-sack horseracing tale, Rob Schiller's And They're Off finds Sean Astin facing overwhelming odds with an absolute unwillingness to quit. Astin's endearingly game performance isn't enough to carry the film, which won't likely see a second week in theaters. His name along with co-star Cheri Oteri may help on VOD.
