This is a movie that has all the look and feel of a Hallmark movie. Though, I don't say that in a disparaging way. If you are looking for that "type" of movie, then this scores on all levels.
Starring Greer Grammer, daughter of Frazier star Kelsey Grammer, she delivers a credible adoring performance - as she rightfully has built a respectable resume for herself.
Inspired by true events, the movie boasts some delightful themes of redemption, victory over challenges, and compassion for animals. While the movie was designed to delve into the world of animal abuse, the movie, to its credit, is never preachy or patronizing.
Seemingly out of nowhere, the movie's climax hinges on an equestrian competition involving novice Grammer. While equestrian aficionados will probably rail at her improbable and super-contrived and almost immediate rise to a champion-class competitor, the rest of us could care less about that and are simply eagerly waiting to gobble up the "feel good" candy.
If this is a movie you want to sit down and watch with your family of all ages and not have to wince at ANYTHING on screen and even have some insightful discussions afterwards, then you could not possibly be disappointed.
