L'étalon sauvage

Summary says it all. We wanted to rent a good movie DVD that was about horses for a child and three horse loving adults to watch. It was possibly the worst written, produced and acted movie any of us had ever seen. The bad guys, including Robert Wagner acted their worst. The Wild Black Stallion horse was dark brown and very tame. We laughed all the way through it which made it possible to watch it. I wish it rated a good review but it was so corny we didn't need popcorn. We were expecting something like the Mikey Rooney movie "The Black Stallion" but got a "Mickey Mouse" movie instead. Can't say enough good about the movie "Secretariat" and have urged many friends to rent it.

So, I bought this movie right off of Amazon.com because I found out that it had Miranda Cosgrove in it and I just had to have it. I am really glad I did get it because it has a really cute plot and it's just the kind of movie for the whole family. I think that Miranda Cosgrove and Danielle Chuchran make really cute cowgirls. So Cj is this huge know it all about horses and the ranch and she thinks that Hannah is just a dumb city slicker but it turned out that she knew a lot about horses. The main reason I saw this movie is because Miranda Cosgrove was in it and I am just obsessed with her so I watched the movie and fell in love with this movie. Lastly, I really think this movie should be recommendable to anyone looking for a cute movie about cute horses and cute cowgirls getting into mischief, should definitely give The Wild Stallion a chance because it is one cute movie. I give it 10 stars just because there is no option to give it four billion.

Pretty much everyone else has already said it all. The acting was downright embarrassing. The adults were the worst, especially the bad guys. Even Connie Sellica was awful. The kids were much better actors than the adults.

The "black" Stallion is really brown. That's actually an insult to the viewer. Just how stupid do the producers think we are, that we're going to buy in that the horse is really black? Were you really so hard up you couldn't find a black horse anywhere to use for the film? Couldn't you have least used dye, or doctored up the film to make the horse look black? I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't even a stallion, or even a male horse.

I still have this on, but am only paying half attention to it now. I hate stopping a show before seeing it through to the end. That's why I'm warning future viewers to not even bother starting the movie at all.

The Wild Stallion, starring Miranda Cosgrove of iCarly fame and Robert Wagner of Hoot fame, is Brokeback Mountain meets Mr. Hands. The cinematography, what they did, great. The hats are funny, but also what you would expect because they are normal cowboy hats. Courtney Cox is amazing and very handsome and strong. Make sure you bring tissues, though, especially if you're congested. The writing is excellent, especially the dialogue between horses, which includes perfect comedic timed nickering and whinnying. By the end of the film, you'll be both nickering and crying and you might even ruin your pants.

I turned this movie on cable just to see the horses, and even while only half-watching it I was appalled and disgusted by how outright horrible it is. Who paid for this dreck? How desperate were some of these name actors? It NEVER fails to amaze me how they can make movies about horses without KNOWING anything about horses! This "film" takes the term "bad movies" to a whole new level... not one I'm sure I can stand despite the beautiful scenery and horses. I'm not sure what's worse: the inane script, the half-ass and mailed-in acting, or the ham-handed editing. Not even worth it for the animals, and at least THEY can act. Run away. Fast.
