Horse Crazy

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.

We loved this movie! The setting was beautiful, with soft white horses against a backdrop of red rock and blue sky. It's perfect blend of humor, suspense, and fantasy, make it a show everyone will enjoy watching, no matter what their age!!! A must have!!!!

My daughter stood riveted to the screen during the entire movie, and as a family we really enjoyed the movie, we kept commenting to ourselves how amazing it was to see a good clean movie where the characters were not exaggerated, but were actually believable. The backdrops were fantastic, what a beautiful desert.

Really like it. Originally tuned in because it was playing on MoviePlex and they show movies uncut, with NO ads!

But the gorgeous scenery kept me watching. I'm a senior citizen and in the 1960s liked everything as outrageous as possible. I've mellowed. Mysteries are my favourite, ever since childhood.

Thought this was a good contrast to all the computer-generated fare available today as well as the blood and guts kids love to watch! A good family film - and love the horses.

I think IMDb should go back to allowing shorter reviews. :) With twitter and lack of time, people don't spend as much time reading as in the past. Just a thought.

In one respect at least movies have improved enormously since the 30's-through to the 50's.I refer to the quality of child actors,with the posturing moppets of that era giving way to more adroit and skilled performers like Osment,Woods and even Maculkin.Sadly,the juvenile leads here are a throwback to the earlier era and do not suggest any great skill in the thespic arts.Pausing and gulping visibly before delivering lines the moppets-2 male,1 female slow down an already funereal pace to an extent that the movie becomes irritating rather than cute They play kids who decide to stowaway in the car of a teenager driving to see his girlfriend with the idea of capturing wild mustangs.They become embroiled in the kidnap of a prize winning horse by some villains who never remotely suggest genuine menace being as incompetent as the pair in Home Alone The scenery is nice but that's about all the movie has going for it

Avoid ,unless you like horses or pine for the scenery west of the Mississippi
