GREAT uplifting movie. LOVED it.	texasjasmin 09/22/2012
I have seen this movie 2 or 3 times and love it every time I watch it. Will watch it again when it comes on.

an endearing film for the whole family	findingavoice 01/14/2007
This is one of those films that lifts one's spirits - - a joy with every viewing. As it explores the stresses within a family it creates a new connection among the principals as a result of the father's effort to save an injured horse and the daughter's love for and belief in both her father and the animal. Everyone contributes to this cinematic delight, but Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell provide the basic elements that make this unlikely success story a heartwarming experience. The horse is pretty special too.
