With all the junk out there, it's nice to watch a movie with such positive values and one which can be shared with the whole family. Zac Efron is endearing -- it's not surprising he has soared to stardom in "High School Musical." And Bill Cobbs as the wise old horseman is great. I loved the mentor chemistry between them. There is a lot to like in this movie and I recommend it heartily.

Our granddaughter is 6 years old, and loves anything to do with horses. She has watched this movie many, many times. Its a great story for the family also.

very good, family film. It's good to see the chemistry between the actors come to life and make it more believeable. Good casting. i would recommend this film to all my friends and their family to watch it for a family night together.

This is a very sweet movie. It is a simple story about teen years, but I think that it really delivered on how sometimes parents try to live thru there children.
The music at the end is really a GREAT song. I wish that they would have put it throughout the movie. Billy Preston really was one of the Greats!!!

I bought this movie for my Zac Efron loving 8 yr old and thought it would be watched once and forgotten. Instead it's a nice story for young kids and you can see the budding talent of Efron, he's kind of a natural. It's a lot like the other movie he made called Miracle Run that shows he possesses a nice persona on film, and even with the gap in his teeth was a nice looking young man. My daughter enjoys this movie, though our version has a horse on the cover and not the smiling photo of Zac. If your daughter is a fan of Zac Efron it's not a big investment for your child to see him in an earlier work with no singing, dancing or Sharpay.

The writers and all the actors did terrific job. I had to buy this movie, because it is one that should be watched buy families again and again.

Bought this for our 2-year-old who is horse crazy, and turns out the whole family enjoyed watching it. Just a feel good movie in which a boy endures trials and triumphs on his way to success. Good messages for kids of all ages; even my 13-year-old said it wasn't bad, and our 9-year-old really liked it too.

I bought this video after seeing part of it from a borrowed one for my daughter. She was away at a friends and I watched it. Zac Efron is as sweet in this movie as expected and just as talented. Its my daughters movie but if you want a sweet feel good DVD to watch get this one for you. Its good for both kids and adults and that is rare.

I hated this movie from the start. The acting is so bad I can't stand it. And don't even get my started on the horses. They used a different horse in almost every scene, one moment the horse has a blaze face and the next, no markings at all. When the actor (zac) was riding it was completely unrealistic. A trained horse will not just buck you off for no reason. And overall it was just an insult to the horse world.

I haven't viewed it yet, but my 9-year-old daughter said it's her "Favorite movie ever!"
