This movie/documentary comes out Jan. 24 in select theatres. Anyone else planning on attending? I just watched the trailer on You Tube and it definitely made me want to see it. Supposedly you're supposed to buy advanced tickets, so Fandango sells them. So...for those that have seen the trailer, what do you think?

Great line from the trailer. "People talk about the Runner's high. The only runner's high I've ever felt is when I've stopped running." -- Gerald Meyers - Four-Time Marathoner I do plan to see this film.... but not showing in Canada on the 24th......

I would really like to see it but I just can't justify $20.00. Surely it will come out on a DVD soon.

The tickets are $20? That's too bad. I really have enjoyed that trailer and probably watch it every other day just to get the juices flowing. I love the quote at the end that no matter how slow or how fast finishing a marathon will change your life forever.

You appear to be correct. I just checked local movies in Atlanta and tickets are $10.00. So help me a couple of weeks ago they wanted $20.00 At $10.00 I'm going. Of course when I get the buttered popcorn and coke at the movie I'll be back at $20.00 but that's allright. I have a running group I run with. I'll have to float the idea of a group viewing.
