redbullsammerson Okay, YES the acting is horrible, for a movie, in fact, this is definitely the worst acting I've seen in a movie. But the acting isn't horrible all around. I felt like I was watching a bootlegged recording of a stage presentation. I got the feeling that this would have made a really good play and the actors were probably all stage actors or drama students. There's a difference, stage actors tend to over act in order to add a little flair to the stage, movies don't need that extra umph because they have production budgets that fill in the holes.However, since the budget on this movie was so low, it's understandable why it turned out this way. I wouldn't say it's a horrible movie, the story line is decent if you can get past the acting, just don't be prepared to expect too much.

rob man wow..somebody doesn't like family movies or has a personal problem. This is a great little movie. Something my whole family can watch and a movie that touches on issues my children are dealing with. the story really surprises you. i never saw it coming. i admit Im bias toward horses and beautiful scenery. beautifully filmed movie that I tell all my friends and neighbors about because like me.. there tired of the PG-13 stuff. last but not least..really GREAT soundtrack. Thrilled to find out that the soundtrack is being released. My family gets the movie and I get the CD! hope these folks do more of this because we REALLY deed it!!! GOOD JOB

jjuergen Overall the story is good, and the plot is believable, but other than that it seems to have been produced by amateurs. Writing was horrible at best. Acting is well, obviously pushed. Who played Lindsay's brother. Really? That's the best they could have done? And her mother? I am guessing she has zero acting history. Chemistry was not there. But with a low budget you rarely get quality talent. In some of the scenes I don't think they even used a sound engineer. The echo and background noises are right there. I wanted to write a better review, but just couldn't lie.

Henk From the beginning, it looked like a home-made! Nothing against home-made or low budget films, they can be good -- but this one surely isn't! How it got a rating of 8+ I don't understand, I guess the 10 votes came from relatives & friends of these amateur actors. It just went from bad to worse, bad acting, very bad sound and editing, awful directing etc. etc. -- it is simply impossible to do the subject justice. Most of the time it sounds like the actors are reading their scripts off, the sound fades and some actors' voice come across muffled (maybe their mikes didn't work? Or they were too far away from the recording mike.) Scene changes are arbitrary, sometime a bunch of new characters appear on screen without being introduced in any way, then later they may just walk off to the side, leaving the set. Well, enough said...
