    its in the title - sadly

    I don't recall if there is a min word count but I am trying to save y'all from this one... the budget was $25k - i just read this - well ... i have nothing good to say about this effort

    Very good acting from the horse

    Relatively speaking, the horse, Lucky, is acting quite well all along. The script, and the direction, might not have helped the other creatures, especially the ones usually capable of speech. They may have been intimidated by the music though, that totally redefines the meaning of the word "cheesy" and might have been played directly on stage in an attempt to stimulate the actors. Still, I managed to go through, doing other benign little things on the side. No one has been hurt in the watching of this movie. Hence 4 stars.

    How did she get an acting part?

    This actress had no vocal inflection is boring boring boring. Seen many much more talented actresses who never get a part like this. Smh. Story is pretty trite/formulaic, but that was expected. The scenery was breathtaking.

    The movie named it's self

    90% cinematic shots with awfully depressing music. 10% terrible acting. The horses are nice tho.

    The acting is mundane. Kudos to Kyle though!

    I normally don't write reviews. I was excited to see a heart warming tale about a teen working through her grief. Yet, right from the beginning it was awful. I continued to watch hoping it would get better. No, it didn't happen.

    Not sure how long all these actors have been acting, yet there is no real emotion, Or believability in their rolls, happy, sad, or anything, or people actually having a real conversation.

    It's like they're reading the script, yet blah, blah, blah, like the Principle on Ferris Bueller's day off, "Bueller? Bueller? No chemistry between the Aunt and Uncle. "Huckleberry Pancakes?" Even then no excitement. No excitement, or enthusiasm, no convincing it's a story being told. The fight between was stupidly done, g

    Best actor is the supposed to be nerdy college kid Kyle. He seemed like he had more acting, ability, and showed excitement, disappointments, like he knew how to act. I wish there was more of him acting wouldn't have been so long of a movie.

    It was mundane.all throughout this movie. Best part were the horses, and Kyle.
