Richard Jenkins, you’re a well-liked character actor with two Oscar nominations. What are you doing in this mess? Kim Basinger, you won an Oscar. I’m pretty confident you could do better than playing “the mom” to a high schooler in a generic sport’s drama. It’s a bit hilarious to watch Kelly Blatz and Analeigh Tipton try to convincingly play high school when they’re both clearly inching towards thirty. But they’re both photogenic and attractive, and that’s really all that counts. Oh look, there’s Cam Gigandet trying to prove he’s not just a pretty face. That’s debatable still as his performance here feel artificial and lacking in depth and conviction. 4 Minute Mile throws every underdog sports movie cliché in hopes it’ll resemble both a distinct personality and a narrative. It ends up feeling like a Frankenstein monster made by the worst parts of better movies.
