Movie Info

Moondance Alexander is a spirited teen living with her eccentric mother. She is faced with another uneventful summer until she discovers a lost pinto pony named Checkers who has jumped out of his paddock. Although Moondance returns the horse to his rightful owner, Dante Longpre, she is convinced that Checkers is a champion jumper in disguise and is determined to help him realize his full potential.

This family drama... tries so hard to be warm and uplifting that you keep rooting for it to be better than it is.

It's certainly not terrible, but why the filmmakers didn't just ship it straight to video or cable is anyone's guess.

Not bad. Kind of middle-of-the-road hallmark film. Still interesting to watch. Kay Panabaker is a fantastic lead though...I don't know if this is some kind of saga/book series or anything, but she was a great choice to play the protagonist. Anyway, this film isn't anything special, but still enjoyable to watch, and that's the point, isn't it?
