    What It Takes--the movie

    I just put in an order for the DVD! http://www.witmovie.com/

    I am so excited to see this. Don't know that I'll watch it with J, though. It could get embarrassing if I actually drool when Peter Reid comes on screen.

    I got my copy yesterday...

    I'm not quite through it yet. I watched part of it while I was on the trainer this morning. It's actually not as good as I thought it would be. Peter Reid does look good in it, tho he seems to have some "issues" which really come to light.
    All in all it seems to be ok, but I think I actually liked 140.6 better. Maybe because I identified with Christine Webb the tv reporter??
    Or maybe it's a case of the trailer being TOO good and setting you up for disappointment??
    Don't get me wrong, it's still good. Heck it's about triathlon! I sit and watch streaming video on Ironmanlive for hours at a time, so who am I to judge??!! But it's not oscar material by any stretch.
    Let me know what you think after you watch it.

    Mmm ... Peter Reid ....

    On another forum, folks said Reid was pretty sick or something when they were filming that and criticized the filmmakers for not following another athlete instead.

    Unfortunately Netflix doesn't have this, so not sure whether I want to buy it or not.

    I have never heard of this. I must investigate further. Drool and inspiration?
