A Champion Heart

We watched this film this afternoon and loved it. The young actors were great and it was well directed!

I can't even explain how much I loved this movie. At one point everyone was crying, and two seconds later, everyone was laughing! The acting was incredible, and the script was so well written. Perfect choice of characters, scenery and much much more. Though I absolutely hate the genre the director picked, it was the best movie I've ever seen. I could watch this a billion times, and still not get bored of it.

This movie is a true treat and just what I needed to see this evening. Watched on Netflix with my whole family and we all had beaming smiles at the end. A warm, family friendly feel good movie about hope and healing - something we're all in need of at this time.

This is a heartwarming and very well done story of a young girl who is struggling with grief and the horse that helped her to overcome it and find a new lease on life. The acting is superb, the directing is excellent and the script is real life and emotionally engaging.

From the beginning I connected with the actors and the story, through the ups and downs and the difficulties. It reminds me of movies that were once made but now are rarely seen coming out of Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter.

To my mind it's the best Christian movie I've seen yet.. it's not preachy as some are, nor is it cheap feeling with poor acting or scripting. From beginning to end it shows that with love, support and trust we can face the life issues we all must face at one time or another, and in that find the courage to stand up with trust and faith and continue on in spite of whatever might come our way in life.

I just attended the premiere of this movie and it was one of the most fun audience experiences for me and my family. The whole audience was laughing, crying, and commenting during the whole show because we could all relate to the very likable characters...as well as some of the more sassy ones.

I overheard one of the young audience members say, "I wish there were more films like these." I couldn't agree more. These days, it is so challenging to find a movie that the whole family can enjoy without being concerned about alarming language or bathroom humor. Even the animated movies are awash with cruddy messages.

This film is filled with lessons about faith, trust, honesty, friendship, stewardship, compassion. It reminded me of the great Sunday night movies that Disney used to broadcast back in the 70s.
