Review Score: 9/10
Summery: You'll cheer all the way to the finish line for this feel-good
film, destined to become a family classic! Kurt Russell (Mircacle) and
Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds) star as a horse trainer and his
inspiring young daughter, Cale, whose determination to help an injured racehorse
changes their lives forever.
Kris Kiristofferson, (Blade), Elisabeth Shue (Hide and Seek), Luis
Guzmàn (Traffic), and Freddy
Rodriguez (Six Feet Under) co-star in an uplifting story that celebrates
dreams, second chances and the importance of family.*
Review Comments: This was an excellent movie. I especially recommended it
for younger horse lovers. There are a lot of special twists and turns in the
story that I thoroughly enjoyed. The only draw back, is the fairly implausible
idea of an eleven year old girl being able to do some of the things with a race
horse that Cale does with Dreamer. (But that's why it's a movie and not real
life, I suppose.)
*note: This movie is loosely based on Mariah's Storm, whose story is very
interesting in and of its self.
On Amazon.com *this is the exact summery from off of the back of the DVD case.
