Everything is pretty predictable. The two parents arguing constantly is annoying and over dramatic. Lily and the guy are not very believable as a couple. I don't feel like there was enough to really make me believe they would get married and Lily would give up her whole life.. there was zero character or character development to them and the adults were just grown up children. How embarrassing for the pilot dating Julia Robert's character. A weak yes man.

The acting was decent and the scenery was nice. Kind of like a long commercial advertising Bali. It's worth a watch if there's nothing else on, but there's so many better movies in this genre like crazy rich Asians or my big fat Greek wedding.

Oh man, first off I am embarrassed for Jason Dohring for his role in this movie! His character is super cheesy. Like so many Disney movies, it starts off fine and then goes off the deep end. It can't just be a movie about a girl who wants to be a jockey and is especially talented at it, it has to turn into a talking horse movie. Everything was super predictable, the acting was mediocre, and the subject matter to me was just kind of boring to me. Also, even by 2001 standards, $5 seems way too low for a day working with horses. I am trying to think of something nice to say about the movie, but it was just meh. Not terrible, but not good.

I am teetering between a 5 and 6 rating because this Disney channel original movie was far and away better than most of the ones that came before it, but some of the god scenes (especially at the end with the angels in wheel chairs) was kind of dumb and to me soap box racing is just kind of boring. But little Frankie Muniz is adorable and carried this movie. All the other actors are pretty decent as well. It's cool to this was based on a true story. This movie covered some heavy topics without getting too heavy. The brother dynamic was sweet though the actors were kind of obviously older than the characters ages they were portraying. Not the best movie, but it was a sweet story. I'd recommend a watch.
