May 21, 2007Quite great and heartwarming family movie with horses again. A teenage daughter (Alison Lohman) of the family's mountainside horse ranch has a good courage to care about a wild mustang with love and strength.

A movie which seems designed to do nothing more than feature some pretty pictures of horses and possibly move a few units of a tie-in soundtrack. Full Review

Flicka is a new version of the family classic about a teenager and a wild horse that's as misconceived as it is corny and predictable.
