5.0 out of 5 stars True Story of Bruce Jennings, January 19, 2010

This review is from: Dream Rider (DVD)

Dreamrider is the touching and inspiring story of Bruce Jennings, younger brother of my old buddy, Willie Jennings. We all lived in Fullerton,CA and the film gets it right - Bruce had courage enough to share. Adventurous, determined and wiry, his energy made him a standout kind of kid. Bill Brown, Fullerton filmmaker, obviously takes great care in his projects and did a masterful job on this story. At Captain Blood's Theater I had the opportunity to thank him personally for all the dedication and love he lavished on this movie. What can I say... see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Triumph of the Human Spirit, January 28, 2001

This review is from: Dream Rider [VHS] (VHS Tape)

James Earl Jones delivers a masterful performance in this film based on a true story. Jones, by administering "tough love", helps a young athlete recover his will to live after suffering a debilitating injury. Unlike so many movies of this genre, Dream Rider does not suffer from cloying sentimentality. Rather, it is an inspiring story which realistically depicts what it takes to recover from the emotional and physical distress of a serious setback. This is a "must see" for anyone who has encountered a serious injury or any family member or friend of such a person.

4.0 out of 5 stars captivating, August 14, 2001

This review is from: Dream Rider (DVD)

An inspring movie depicting the possibilities that can happen in modern-day America. Filmed in my hometown of Fullerton, CA this movie captures the hearts of common everyday Americans who just need a good flick to see on a Saturday night. James Earl Jones, as impressive as usual, plays the character of an old retiree living in a convalescent home who inspires the main character "Bruce Jennings" to ride a bicycle from Fullerton, CA to Boston, MA in spite of his injuries from a motorcycle accident. I reccomend this movie for high school athletes, and all other ambitious people who are willing to watch a great movie.
