Features Brink! (1998) (TV)

A great kids movie! I like to see movies that are easy watching for children.

I am glad that there are people in the movie industry that think it is important to make movies for children. In my opinion there are so many shows that have an ill impact on children, especially young ones that are still learning the difference between right and wrong. As a parent, I think I speak for a large group of parents when I say that... I want to be able to let them watch TV without my constant supervision. There are plenty of movies that adults can watch and censor for themselves, so let's keep the easy watching shows readily available for those that are just learning about life! This show was enjoyable because it has a good "life lesson" storyline and helps support the concept of how being nice and looking out for others is a very important part of life. They also can see that our lives become happier when we stop being selfish. For anyone that has been around to see a "City Slicker" on a ranch (or has been the dude), this is a cute show and worth watching! It will bring back memories.

I think the acting was cute and the characters, though maybe a little cheesy, were still funny. The scenery is pretty and there are some really neat horse scenes. If you like horses and cowboys, this show can really be enjoyable. My suggestion would be to watch it with a young child and see it through their eyes (script aside).

Thanks
