Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SnoopyStyle Cale Crane (Dakota Fanning) lives on a horse farm with no horses. Their farm is holding on with her mother Lily (Elisabeth Shue) working as a diner waitress. Her father Ben (Kurt Russell) doesn't get along with his father Pop (Kris Kristofferson). Ben trains horses for the rich owner Palmer (David Morse) who races his horse despite Ben's advise. The horse is injured and Palmer wants to put her down. Palmer fires Ben. Ben takes the horse for compensation. Partly through obsession, partly through skills, partly with love, and the hard work of everybody including Manolin (Freddy Rodriguez) and Balon (Luis Guzman), they bring her back to health. It's a roller-coaster ride when they find out that she is infertile.This is an unabashed sentimental movie. Russell is great as the strong solid father under pressure. It's a good move that his character is healing the horse for the money rather than any moral stance. Fanning is adorable enough and spunky enough. It's a terrific underdog story. The movie is full of familiar clichés. It's probably too overloaded with them but Russell and Fanning make them work most of the time.

Anup Viswanathan Thampi I saw this movie as I had seen a good review from IMDb itself....moreover I was compelled to see this film as Dakota Fanning was in this movie........even though Kurt Russell was in this movie..........I expected it to be her movie and it was..........She is an amazing talent whom we had seen in I am sam,Hide and seek,war of the worlds,push,winged creatures............without much effort she delivers the beautiful performances and it makes me wonder..............The story has inspired me and has made me realise that to achieve anything we must believe.............even when odds are against us..............this film brings out true value of relationship and will to uphold the most thing in which you believe.................

Combat-Carl Truth be told I have always been a fan of Dakota Fanning's films (Asides The Cat In The Hat, bad film) so I was flicking through the T.V channels and saw this and at first I wasn't really bothered about watching it but as I was bogged down by an awful flu I thought "Why not" I really liked it! I didn't know who Kurt Russell was (I'm sorry I thought he was the wrestler Kurt Angle!) obviously Elisabeth Shue is a very good actress, Kris Kristofferson is a legend as always (Loved him in Hulk) and Oded Fehr was good although in it quite briefly (Much better acting than in the awful Resident Evil series) and Dakota Fanning was yet again outstanding.When it was introduced it said "Next up is Dreamer a tearjerker/melodrama" and thought "Oh no, I'm gonna cry!" It's not a sad film in a upsetting way it's a nice film. To be honest I don't see the interest in horse racing, horses to me should be free to run wild and racing them is quite harsh to me. I didn't cry (thank God I kept my masculinity) but I finished the film in a really good mood. I suppose if a film can do that then happy days.The only criticism is that Elisabeth Shue had a small role.Dreamer is about a stable owner Ben Crane (Russell) who has no horses. He has a wife Lilly (Shue) a daughter Cale (Fanning) and a dad who is referred to as Pop (Kristofferson). They have two Mexican workers (I forget their names). A prince (Oded Fehr) of some far away country (I think Dubai) races a horse (the main horse, Sonador or Dreamer) who gets injured badly. Ben buys and heals the horse and Cale later adopts the horse and races it (I'm saying no more!) It's a good family film which I oddly enjoyed (even though it's certainly not my style of film). I'd recommend it to anyone who likes animals (horses) or people who like stories about people who never give up (of which it's a great example) 8/10

debruin1975 Well, kinda lost for words... if you are a true horse lover (or maybe own horses) get this movie. If you despise horses: leave it on the shelve. But this film has everything: the love of a young girl for a broken down horse is so intense, you'll be in no time right in the middle of this movie. And the finale is so.... wait, I don't spoil it. You gotta see it to believe it! 10 out of 10. (or maybe even higher!)I had seen this movie in the cinemas and I just had to see this one, but I could not find it. They only had the (terribly dubbed!) dutch version. I browsed every store and finally: at last I found the movie, included was a cdrom with some neat demos but I only care for this magnificent movie.And o yes: try to run this movie in Dolby Surround: you won't believe you ears!
