A Horse from Heaven

I just attended the premiere of this movie and it was one of the most fun audience experiences for me and my family. The whole audience was laughing, crying, and commenting during the whole show because we could all relate to the very likable characters...as well as some of the more sassy ones.

I overheard one of the young audience members say, "I wish there were more films like these." I couldn't agree more. These days, it is so challenging to find a movie that the whole family can enjoy without being concerned about alarming language or bathroom humor. Even the animated movies are awash with cruddy messages.

This film is filled with lessons about faith, trust, honesty, friendship, stewardship, compassion. It reminded me of the great Sunday night movies that Disney used to broadcast back in the 70s.

I think if you are ten years old and love horses you will love this. Unfortunately for me it was one long cliche from beginning to end, no surprise plot twist or anything! Also the riding is atrocious, even the so-called 'advanced' riders were painful to watch. It's obviously one of those 'churned out' movies that they know will attract viewers because it has horses and is heartwarming and I suppose there's nothing really wrong with that, but it could have been so much better.

We watched this film this afternoon and loved it. The young actors were great and it was well directed!

This movie is a true treat and just what I needed to see this evening. Watched on Netflix with my whole family and we all had beaming smiles at the end. A warm, family friendly feel good movie about hope and healing - something we're all in need of at this time.

Great movie, loved it! I especially loved the horses!! Great job with the life's lessons and the love with the animals too! The stories about Mandy's Mom were a plus! When we lose someone sometimes it's very difficult to move on and finding a way to do that is definitely helpful to those who need to hear that. The casting was great!
