Audience Member It's a sweet story that explores the relationship between a man and a horse who were both seen by others as failiures. Their love in eachother helped them grow stronger and have faith in life again, both being successful at what they needed at the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member THIS MOVIE PROVES ALL EX-CONS R NOT ALL BAD GUYS. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member As kids TV movies go this was a simple but charming story and the acting was about standard for this kind of thing.

But its strictly back to zombies, ghost and all kind of wrongness from now on and I don't just mean in the films. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting was lacking but the plot was good - feel-good movie that life gives you second chances if you're willing to work for it and believe in yourself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Having been in trouble with the law many times throughout his life, Eddie Burton (Casper Van Dien) realizes that he could be risking what matters most in his life - his relationship with his young son Will.
