There's a fair amount of greening, but that doesn't make Whitney any less grating. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 11/10/2011
1.5/5
As she learns the value of public schools and pickup trucks, her erstwhile friends in Philadelphia seem happy to be rid of her. By movie's end, you'll feel exactly the same. Go to Full Review

It flies off the rails in a third act so devoid of logic it could have been concocted on the moon. Go to Full Review

Dawn H 09/30/2024 I decided to revisit this movie after the death of Kris Kristofferson and I must say it is a very enjoyable movie. It is well-written and has a good storyline. It is definitely worth a watch! See more Reese C 03/30/2024 I love this movie with my whole heart! My rating is definitely bias as I've met Odd Job Bob in person many times and he defined my childhood, I even named my first horse after him. This movie isn't one I'd think anyone over the age of 12 would truly enjoy unless you hold the same nostalgia as me towards it, but it's mostly light heartened and entertaining definite recommend for parents looking for a horse movie for their horse loving children! See more 10/31/2020 Some time ago, took my daughter to see this, we walked out before the end, contrived situations, actors who don't look like they want to be in it, feigned drama. When my daughter, who loves horses, wants to leave early, you know it's a bomb. Just another disastrous movie from producers Charlie Mason & Justin Moore-Lewy. As a movie buff, I looked them up to see what else they've produced, and yep, a string of failures in multiple genres. Add kid's movies to the list. Seems like everything they touch, becomes a box office atrocity. How hard is it to produce something engaging for kids, but once again, they's proven they can spend money and come out empty handed; not to mention producing a lackluster, boring movie that even kids will walk out on. Very sad, save your money, forget the DVD. See more 04/04/2013 ok, well, as i have said with other movies... i don't go on what critics think... as i began the movie... i was thinking ok, maybe i was wrong .. But it turned out to be a pretty good movie... See more 08/25/2012 Watched this movie with the girls. Cute! See more 01/14/2012 loved this movie! I could relate to all everything! <3 See more Read all reviews
