  Not sure why it got such low ratings.
  
  I'm not into the main actor but I enjoyed the movie anyway. It was slow paced, easy going and an interesting watch. I guess the younger audiences may find ... read more »

  This film is ok
  
  A promising story line but falls a bit flat in most places. The production makes it seems a bit more like a made for TV movie.

  The Derby Stallion
  
  My daughters ( 7 and 9) love Zac Efron which is why I hired this film, but they found it slow and boring and made me turn it off after 15mins.

  Was ok if you are in to Zac Effron
  
  I watched this with my daughter. I t was a harmless film. What did make me laugh was how Zac seemed a little afraid of the horse!

  Disappointing all round - very slow, very old fashioned - rent if only if you love Zac Effron - otherwise don't bother! Life's too short!
