animated s this movie is one of the best I haver ever seen the way they get the hours to sing and dace. is really impressive. but by far the best part is Carl Harry Carlson I love Carl Harry Carlson, his acting and all thing he does. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/23 Full Review Audience Member My 10 year old daughter told me this was the sequel to Dances with Wolves! ..... Actually, this movie is one of the more unforgettable movies in a while. First, it is great for young girls, with gymnastics and horses. Then it was great to see All Borland's post Tim Allan career. Then, finding out that Blackwater ranch is a real place in Michigan that we had driven near. If you are from the Midwest, it's interesting. The horrible sound track and some if the acting had me and wife rolling on the floor laughing. Loved the nursery son Swimming, while they rode horses;. halarious. Don't get me wrong, it had some great acting, alongside the worst monotone action ever. Most of the females did an excellent job acting, like that Young Sandra Bullox. Except Grandma, who they sadly fired and wrote out of the script. So sad, even I cried.... All the male actors were ludicrously bad, except for Al Boreland,the handyman. It would have been funnier if Donald Trump played the rich father, or had it ended with an alien abduction of the gymnast,who barely escapes by somersaulting off the craft. At any rate, I will be looking forward to the sequel, called, Donkey Dancer, whose name has a much better ring. Maybe next time there will be more Michigan Tatonkas. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I felt it was the kind of movie who's cast is made up of regular, non-actor people. I was thrown by a few words/phrases that are antiquated and generally considered offensive.... I wasn't offended, it gave me pause is all. I only watched it because it was movie night with my mom. I would not have made it through the first scene otherwise. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow moving. Good overall message. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie makes me wonder why I get up in the morning. Seriously even the soundtrack is so questionable. I have seen this movie 2 too many times and I've only seen it twice. BUT my biggest question is,,, WHY DOES HER MOM SWITCH HAIRSTYLES IN THE TWO SCENES WE ACTUALLY SEE HER IN I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE CONFUSED IN MY LIFE DONT PLAY ME LIKE THAT. JOE, STICK TO YOUR DAY JOB Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is an honest gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
