Product Description
Young katie claims a wild horse as her own - an effort to prove to her father that she is capable one day of taking over the family ranch. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 10/14/2008 Starring: Tim Mcgraw Alison Lohman Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Pg

Can a wild horse with a bad attitude and a not-quite-wild but pretty darn sullen teenage girl with a bad attitude be the best things that ever happened to each other? Though we guess the answer pretty early on in Flicka, it doesn't diminish the feel-good family film one bit. The film is a remake of the 1947 My Friend Flicka itself based on the bestselling (and still riveting) novel by Mary O'Hara, and starring a young Roddy McDowall as the aimless teen hero. This 2006 update changes the hero to a heroine, Katy (Alison Lohman), though the dynamic is similar, and in some ways makes the appeal of the film broader. After all, young girls love their horses, and Katy's moxie and determination, as she opens her heart to the wild filly, a touchingly and humanly conveyed. As Katy struggles with her relationship with her gruff dad (given an excellent performance by country star Tim McGraw), she finds she can gain confidence and be the person her father wants her to be--solely by being herself as she connects with Flicka the horse. The cinematography is stunning, and showcases a part of America that once was seen and celebrated often in films, and lately so rare as to be precious. --A.T. Hurley Beyond Flicka

 Superb December 21, 2008

This movie is superbly done. Great acting by Tim McGraw who is uncomfortable with his daughter and has an estranged relationship with her. This is the best acting I've seen from Maria Bello. Overall, it's a good remake, different from the original, not perfect, but a great family film. I liked it alot, and thought the acting was good.
 Rent The Original! November 23, 2008
Dog Res Q.R. (Reno, NV, usa)
There's just no reason to plod through this unnecessarily butchered remake of Mary O'Hara's book. They could have found an original script about horses, I think, instead of more "remake-itis" that Hollywood is stuck in right now. Rent the 1943 version and the 1945 sequel "Thunderhead."
They're old movies, but they can't be improved upon. The technicolor of the Big Outdoors is sumptuous, the horse stunts nearly impossible to tell they were staged as when Flicka's mother rears under the sign while she's being trucked out and brains herself. Or when baby Flicka escapes the barn by breaking through a glass window and jumping out and the heart rendering scene where she is caught in the barbed wire fence. Can't watch either of these movies without a BIG box of kleenex! Flawless horse training for movies as was the fight to the death of Thunderhead and the Albino in the sequel. PLus there was the music score by the great Alfred Newman whose son, Thomas Newman, did the superb score to Horse Whisperer.
If your horse-loving daughters really need to see a horse movie, get them training tapes by the gentle and effective trainers out there such as Pat Parelli, Chris Cox, Clinton Anderson, etc. At least they'll learn something. There's nothing in this bastardized version to like. And the only tear I shed was that 2 horses had to die for this turkey.

Debra S. Myers (Island Lake, IL)
The dvd arrived shortly after ordering it and was packaged very good.
What I liked about the dvd is that on one side "Full screen" and on the other side "Wide screen." This is great especially when you have different types of tvs.
Great Movie if you are into horses, which my family is. A must for a horse library of movies.

Flicka is a really good movie. It is about a girl that finds a horse and wants to tam it so she can ride it. The girls dad won't let her get near the horse at all. But some parts it is sad but the other times it's funny.
Also if you liked Dreamer you will love Flicka. Flicka is a movie for all different ages. It is good to watch with family and friends. So if you are a horse lover you should watch this movie now. This movie is good to watch anytime of the day. I have watched this movie about a thousand times and I could watch it more.
Are you a horse lover, if you are go pick this movie up knows? So go pick it up at your nearest Wal-Mart today and put in or T.V and seat down and watch it.
