5+ Stars
This totally enjoyable movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was well written and acted. Unlike many low budget family movies, the characters and plot were believable and touching. There wasn't one cuss word and no sex. The daughter had a cheerful personality, the fearlessness of strong convictions, while the Dad was quiet, but kind with strong convictions. The ranch hand who became the daughter's boy friend had admirable character qualities and a most charming personality. The shows main characters were all really likable. Of course there was the bad guy, but while certainly unlikable, his part was also believably well done. The Mom was her daughter's best friend. How often do you see this in the movies? Also if you are into horses, you will love this movie. It should come as no surprise that I highly recommend this well done family movie.
Nicely Done
Ricky Schroder and his family put together a really decent Hallmark tale about family, love and horses.
Teenaged and determined, Malibu girl Willow(Cambrie Schroder- daughter of Ricky) wants to meet the father she never knew. He's(Ricky Schroder) a cowboy whose ranch is in trouble. There's conflict and hurt between the two, and their obvious different lifestyles. They find a point of common interest in a wild mustang.
Surprisingly well shot and acted with beautiful country scenery and lots of horse action, the story's quite emotionally tinted at times, but still delivers a fine tale for the whole family, although little kids might get bored with the drama.
Produced, directed, written and starred in by Ricky, wife and family, his real daughter, in her introducing role, Cambrie, does a marvellous job as the teen in turmoil.
There's country humor thrown in, some mild peril(rated PG), and a bit too conveniently sweet ending tying it all...
Horrible acting
Watched this because my daughter wanted to watch it. She thought it was good but she's 6. The writing is terrible and the acting is worse.
