Review #2023 - Dated: 16th of July, 2007
Author: craftmadhermit |
Having watched the previous DVD trilogy based on Mary O�Hara�s My Friend Flicka books, and finding them somewhat lacking in comparison to the books, I was rather hesitant about checking this movie out, wondering if it too would end up being a disappointment. Already knowing there was at least one big difference between Flicka and the book (the main character being Rob McLaughlin�s DAUGHTER, Katy, this time round, instead of his SON Ken), I started to watch it with lower expectations than what I�d had when I�d watched the trilogy. Very quickly I realised that this was a FAR better movie, and found myself thoroughly emersed in it, enjoying it immensely. With a good solid cast... Tim McGraw (one of my favourite country music singers!!) as Rob McLaughlin, Maria Bello (who I�d previously seen in Coyote Ugly and enjoyed her performance then as well) as Katy�s mother, Nell McLaughlin, and featuring the talented Alison Lohman as Katy; fantastic scenery (with a fair portion of it shot in beautiful Wyoming); and an enjoyable soundtrack, Flicka is a great movie for any horse lover, and definitely a must if you�re a Tim McGraw fan as well, especially with his live performance of My Little Girl included in the special features part of the DVD.
