As I say, this is a decently average Disney film, with a few funny parts and other parts where you would agree to smile if you could.

Disney continues to make movies like "Gus" and people continue to pay to see them, but the process seems futile and this time even the mule seems bored.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

The story of a mule that ends up as a place kicker in the NFL. The movie is targeting a younger audience, so the humor is lowbrow and the story really doesn’t go anywhere. There is a romance plot line that isn’t fleshed out and I didn’t buy into it. The movie does feature a few NFL players from the time, so if you’d be into that then check it out.

This thrilling action packed tale of a young boy and his horse will be sure to leave viewers at the edge of their seats. The special effects will make you feel like you are there on the field with Gus. This movie is great for the whole family and can help young kids learn a thing or 2 about friendship. Would give this movie 13 stars if I could.
