Even if you are the greatest barrel rider in the world, there is no career in it...its just a childhood hobby ... if your mom was good at it, remember her for that but move on to your own life and preserve your mom in your heart ... your mom gave you direction and purpose, use it to maximum advantage.

This actress had no vocal inflection is boring boring boring. Seen many much more talented actresses who never get a part like this. Smh. Story is pretty trite/formulaic, but that was expected. The scenery was breathtaking.

I'm thinking that the director must of been on a break during the filming of this movie. I could only watch about 20 minutes. The acting reminds me of a high school play or worse. In acting timing is everything and these actors have none.

Everything else about it pretty much sucked. Cannot go too far wrong with the MAJESTIC NATURE OF HORSES. They showcased some MAGNIFICENT creatures in the few minutes that I tried to enjoy this film. And, as my subject states, do not want to slight the subject matter, not one iota. Beyond that, it utterly falls flat on its face. The actors delivery is wooden, if mechanical, the cues, well, they are missed, to a scene, to an actor, to a dialog. Not sure if it was a directing issue, or a post-production thing, could they have cut it any differently to help with that, I don't know. Just couldn't get into it because of this, the dialog kept stumbling over itself in spite of itself. Too bad. Maybe better work next time I suppose.

Am I the only one who noticed how bad the camera angles are?... Everything was shot way too close. Makes the entire movie hard to follow. I agree the acting and plot aren't great but the camera work made this unwatchable.

The "star" can not act and is dull and droll to say the least . I have no idea how she got into acting . Terrible movie . Worse acting. Even the music choices were ridiculous. During the riding sequences especially.

I normally don't write reviews. I was excited to see a heart warming tale about a teen working through her grief. Yet, right from the beginning it was awful. I continued to watch hoping it would get better. No, it didn't happen. Not sure how long all these actors have been acting, yet there is no real emotion, Or believability in their rolls, happy, sad, or anything, or people actually having a real conversation. It's like they're reading the script, yet blah, blah, blah, like the Principle on Ferris Bueller's day off, "Bueller? Bueller? No chemistry between the Aunt and Uncle. "Huckleberry Pancakes?" Even then no excitement. No excitement, or enthusiasm, no convincing it's a story being told. The fight between was stupidly done, g Best actor is the supposed to be nerdy college kid Kyle. He seemed like he had more acting, ability, and showed excitement, disappointments, like he knew how to act. I wish there was more of him acting wouldn't have been so long of a movie. It was mundane.all throughout this movie. Best part were the horses, and Kyle.

Everything was wooden. Storyline was good but there was no chemistry among any of the actors. The horses and scenery were the best parts of the movie.

Yes the pace is slow, but after a bit I became used to it. I'm from the east coast and we speak fast. But I worked at a company with operations all over the country and people out west speak more slowly by comparison and with a significantly reduced range of inflection. I've seen easterners who have been relocated to our western operations and after a couple of years, they end up speaking slowly too. That this film reflects that shouldn't be a deterrent to its enjoyment. Regional dialects are dying out in this country, which is a pity. Oh, and Brooke Wilson looks exponentially better on a horse than John Wayne ever did.
