Moe: Hey Joe. I’m in the market for a movie that would appeal to the family. What can you recommend?
Joe: Well, what about Dreamer? It’s about a race horse that breaks her leg. Everyone wants to put the horse down, but her trainer buys the horse for his 10-year-old daughter. No one thinks the horse will race again, but the daughter has other ideas.
Moe: Sounds kind of predictable, like something I’ve seen before.
Joe: In a way it is; it’s a little like Seabiscuit, and you can pretty much figure out what’s going to happen. It works, though, and it’s really touching. I was tearing up at the end.
Moe: I’ll bet my daughter would like it.
Joe: Yeah, she probably would. Just about everyone in the family would. It’s heartwarming; the good guys do honorable things. The only negative happens when the daughter, who becomes the owner of the horse, says she’s mailed a race entrance fee in when she hasn’t. But overall, it’s worth it.
Moe: Not that I’m particularly into ratings, but what would you give it?
Joe: I’d say about 2 ¾ stars.
Moe: Sounds good. I’ll take the family
Film Rating: PG
My Rating: 2 ¾ stars.
