Horse Crazy

A nice break from the typical children movies that main stream Hollywood studios churn out. A well acted, funny, kid's crime drama that should please adults as well as most kids ten and under. Especially those kids who love horses and what kid does not love horses! The plot provides a couple of bumbling bad guys, a trio of enterprising young hero's, and a scenic desert landscape to go along with the horses. I could find few faults with this off-Hollywood production. Some might complain the plot is a overly simplistic, but that is as it should be for a movie aimed at young kids. Besides the movie gives us a more character depth than most kids movies when it comes to the three young protagonists. You cannot go wrong with this film. Check it out.

I found this movie to be a delightful entertainment of the innocence of children. It is full of surprises and interspersed with situations that make for laughter. As with most children's movies it is a little far fetched for reality but not for imagination. The horses are something to behold and the scenery is beautiful. It is a story of the determination of three youngsters to accomplish their goals of having a horse and facing obstacles that would stop a lot of adults mainly because if "having common sense". Innocence and naivety make for not giving up. The three youngsters play well against each other as they show three different types of people that come together for a common purpose. This is not a movie for the so called sophisticated but is an enjoyable movie to watch.

Yet the whole time I was entertained by the cartoonish villains and those kids. It's cringey but it was a good source of entertainment for eighty or so minutes. Hats off to the Horse Crazy cast and crew...

great movie, i watched this movie with my two grandsons, ages 5 and 8. we all laughed, fretted, and chose sides. it was remarkably entertaining for both young and old alike. the actors were perfect for the characters they portrayed. the movie has a good plot and the morals behind it were visible to all eyes, at least so in our opinion. the scenery is great, made my grandsons want to visit there, wherever there is. i would very much like to see more movies like this come out for the benefit of all, very seldom does a child in this day get to see a truly GOOD movie. it is a movie i will buy because it is a movie that i know we will never tire of watching. not just for boys, the girls will love it too!!!!!!!!!

This is a very enjoyable flick for the whole family. One young boy, who requires the continuous close supervision of his younger sister, dreams about horses constantly.

When a young "Texan" shows up in his class with a rope and the teacher says that mustangs run wild in Nevada and then he discovers his older brother is driving to Nevada, the die is cast.

I gave this flick a nine.
