  • It does manage some moments of easy charm and boasts some decent performances. Some of the best scenes are built around the credible exchanges between Fanning and Kurt Russell as the girl's father

    What a dream to have

    Knowing this is based on a true story makes this a more remarkable story.

    One families struggle to get back on top and to gain back some dignity. With the help of their daughter and a few dreams any thing is possible if you put your mind to it.

    This film is brillient for all the family to watch young or old. I may have to borrow this one again later on and watch it with my sister who's mad on horses.

    Don't forget to have that box of tissues close to hand as you may shed a tear or two.

    Excellent Family Entertainment

    When a film can hold the attention of a 14 year old boy, and stimulate positive comments it has to be doing something right. This is a good old fashioned story of triumph over adversity, well shot and cast. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good family film.

    A great film to watch but make sure you have your kleenex at the ready.

    OK

    A reasonable film for an adult but not as good as sea biscuit. Kids seem to enjoy it more with my 14 year old daughter purchasing a copy.
