GREAT FAMILY FUN WITH MICKEY ROONEY AND ALSO HIS WIFE JAN!!!!

This film is super. It was filmed only a few minutes from where I live. I actually got to meet my hero Mickey Rooney on the set of this film. It's a beautiful family picture. No bad language or themes. :)
I went to see it in the theatre and was not disappointed.
Mickey and his wife Jan both have great roles. What a treat to see MY HERO in another horse film. Mickey (even at 87) still has it! What a legend, what a talent. His wife Jan also is great. She plays his wife. What a treat. The entire movie was enjoyable and I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!! Buy it today!!!

Wolves do not attack people!

I can't figure out who this movie is supposed to appeal to. Despite the title, there aren't enough horses for the horse lovers. It's too slow to hold the attention of little kids, too corny and predictable for older kids and adults. And wolf advocates won't be happy with the ridiculous sequence of a vicious snarling wolf going after some kids. Why do we keep seeing scenes like this in movies? All it does is feed the fear and hatred of wolves so many uninformed people feel. The fact is, there has never been a documented account of a healthy, unprovoked wild wolf attacking a human. It just doesn't happen, folks! September 9, 2008

Good family gift

No overpaid, under-worked Hollywood stars other than Mickey Rooney; no sex; no violence - just the thing for families looking for something they can watch together at home. True, there is no big production budget and the actors will never win an Oscar, but this movie proves that good entertainment can be filmed in the U.S. (in rural North Carolina); explosions and gunfire do not a movie make.

This is a simple story about the pain a teenaged boy feels at the loss of his father and how that pain led him astray. He finds the better path again when he and his widowed mother go to a kind of dude ranch where the boy learns to take care of horses and to be a mentor to a younger, goofier kid. There is even a love interest for the boy, but it goes no further than a kiss and holding hands.

Buy this and give it to families who have kids 8-15. August 28, 2008
