Watched, of course, primarily for the presence of Miranda Cosgrove, though that hasn’t always been cause enough alone for me to watch a movie (I still haven’t seen Keeping Up with the Steins and it’s been languishing in my collection for years, lol). This one, however, I pretty much knew I would enjoy as it’s a “girl and horse” movie which I’ve covered here before. It looked to me initially like a tame noughties Wild Horse Hank and that’s a close enough comparison: young girls save the horses from the bad man and “learn things”.

It lacks the wonderful soundtrack and smokey Seventies cinematography but this is a perfectly simple watch if you like this genre as much as I do. It’s pretty much the definition of a 3-heart movie around here: absolutely nothing unique or indispensable, just about everybody concerned (including supporting players like Robert Wagner, Fred Ward and Paul Sorvino) have done better work, and there are better movies to watch first even within the tiny sub-genre … but if it’s your kind of movie, it passes, and Miranda is simply wonderful.
