| User ReviewChristy LExcellent family movie about second chances. Don Johnson is a former trainer who, due to an accident with one of his riders, has punished himself and retreated from the world. One of his horses and a new friend teach him that life is all about second chances. Kay Panabaker plays a girl that has no friends, deeply misses her deceased father, and is quite lost in the world. At her Father's gravesite, she asks him to send her something that will make her special. In walks Checkers the horse and Don Johnson, who teach her to dream big, take chances and believe in yourself. Co-starring the always loveable James "Rosco P. Coltrane" Best, of Dukes of Hazzard Fame. Produced, Directed and Written by Michael Damian, who many will remember as "Danny Romalotti" for 18 years on Young and The Restless. American figure skater Sasha Cohen also makes her acting debut playing the cruel "Fiona" and is surprisingly good. |

| User Reviewampthe best movie ever! i love her pinto tinkerbell aka Checkers |
| User ReviewEvei've watched it twice now, on OnDemand, which it's on at this very moment (6/9/2008) and it's a Very Good movie. it's a very touching story about a girl & her horse she finds, and ends up helping to take care of. the girls at her school are really snobby. i can't stand rich snobby girls who think they're better than anyone else. especially since I went to school with the same kinds of girls when I was in school. I guess I'm kinda biased on this movie, cus my Best Friend -Directed- this movie. but so what. he did a Great Job on this film. It is a Wonderful Family Film, just like Black Beauty & the Black Stallion were/still are. I can't wait to own this film and add it to my collection of favorite DVD's. |
