This family drama... tries so hard to be warm and uplifting that you keep rooting for it to be better than it is. Go to Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/19/2007

It's certainly not terrible, but why the filmmakers didn't just ship it straight to video or cable is anyone's guess. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jacob A Mar 2 This is one of the best horse movies, as well as one of the best to have Lori Loughlin and Kay Pananaker as the mother and daughter. See more 08/29/2016 moondance Alexander was a incredible movie I definitely enjoyed this film because horses are my number 1 favourite animal in the world this inspired me to get involved in horse jumping I would definitely watch this movie again ð? See more 05/07/2014 This was a very sweet underdog story. See more Stephen S @GDLSkorne 01/11/2014 Not bad. Kind of middle-of-the-road hallmark film. Still interesting to watch. Kay Panabaker is a fantastic lead though...I don't know if this is some kind of saga/book series or anything, but she was a great choice to play the protagonist. Anyway, this film isn't anything special, but still enjoyable to watch, and that's the point, isn't it? See more 10/03/2012 It's not terrible, but hugely disappointing and so cliche. See more 05/13/2012 Moondance Alexander is a Wonderful Family film, Directed by Michael Damian. He's as Talented in Directing as he is in Singing & Acting. This is a Heartwarming Film, that will have you in Tears on occasion. So please make sure you have a Box of Tissue with you handy. :) I Love this movie. It's One of My Favorites. :) Way to Go Michael! You Rock! :) See more Read all reviews
