Very sweet family movie!
This is a very cute family movie about three kids who hide in their brothers trunk of his car when he leaves for Nevada. The horse crazy kids thought they could catch a wild horse and bring it home after seeing a tape on wild horses in class.It gets a tad more complicated with two bad guys going after a prize winning horse they want to capture and get money for. But it interlocks with the storyline,and makes for a very sweet show! It can catch the eye of all ages. I am thirteen and my sisters are,ten,and four and we all have watched this show for years now,renting it over and over again at the video store. I would recommend it to anyone!

fun and adorable
This movie was both fun and adorable at the same time. The child actors gave strong performances and portrayed distinctive and engaging characters. The adult actors provided strong support throughout the entire movie. The scenery was fantastic and there was plenty of light humor throughout this movie. The plot wasn't quite believeable, but it wasn't so far-fetched that it wasn't enjoyable. An eight-year-old boy who dreams of owning his own horse seizes an opportunity to sneak a ride to Nevada with his older brother (who is going to visit his girl friend who he winds up dropping) in order to capture wild mustangs. Two other kids wind up sneaking along. Add a couple of horse theives into the mix and a pretty young lady to attract the interest of the older brother and things get interesting. Who would enjoy watching this movie? One audience is likely to be children under the age of ten. The pacing, humor, and action in the movie would attract this audience. The other main audience that would apprectiate this movie is adults who get a kick out of silly kid movies. This movie does a good job of presenting a captivating story without getting preachy or sappy in any way. There were a couple of moral lessons thrown in along the way, but they fit seemlessly into the plot and don't seem forced in any way. There is also a strong and appealling sub-plot in this movie involving a budding romantic relationship between two people in their early twenties which integrates quite naturally with the main plot.

A real favorite of my 4 year old grandaughter
This was a birthday gift for our 4 year old grandaughter who
loves horses. She's already watched it several times since
early March.

Solid Family Entertainment
This is a very entertaining movie, and not irritating (like many kids' movies can be) when your kids want to watch it several times in a row. Absolutely beautiful footage of the desert, gorgeous horse, and really cute kids. Three kids stow away in big brother's car, with the plan to capture three wild mustangs in the Nevada desert and "ride them home for supper". Lots of exciting scenes, the kids get to be the heroes, and it isn't too scary for the little ones. Our teenaged neighbors enjoy the movie, just as much as my not-yet-teens do.
I suspect that the "professional movie reviewer" who gave this movie a bad rating wasn't really watching the movie, since she got the entire plot wrong. Definitely worth the money!

An adult's view
First the bad: story not totally believable. So-so acting by adults. Dialogue n eeded a rewrite.
Now the good: adorable child actors. Interesting, if not totally believable, story. Excellent photography and beautiful scenery. Fine transfer, though DVD has limited extras.
All in all a pretty good deal, i.e. for the budget the thing probably was shot on. Overall a good effort.

A Nice Horse Movie, But Only For Very Young Kids...
When a fourth-grader (Michael Gauser) becomes captivated by a film shown in his classroom about the Mustangs of Nevada, he and his friends find a way to see the wild horses in the flesh. Before long, they learn of a legendary show stallion called The General and seek him out - it just so happens that dangerous rustlers are after the famous Paint as well, and they don't take kindly to the nosy little cowpokes. Think of it as "Home Alone on the Range" kiddie fare.

Wonderful Story
This is a wonderful story and a great film for the whole family. We just watched it for the fifth time and my four year old is crazy about it. The story line is cute and the actors do a great job. The scenery if beautiful and you can't go wrong with this film.

Good Story
I really like "Horse Crazy". I think it has a good story line and I liked the actors and the horses. I esspecially liked the part when the children were getting rid of the bad guys. That was pretty funny. If you like horses and you like adventure and Nevada landscape, you should watch this movie!

Horse Thieves Picked the wrong horse.
This is a greatr family film of children drying to make their dreams real. One boy feels he can get to see the Mustang horse he dreams about and stowsawy in his brothers car to cross city;s through the plains. ANyhow, the kids are busted in their hiding, and the Brother makes them waut with the broken down car while he goes to find help. The kids use this time again to plot and find their dream horse in the wild. The Cinematography is beautiful of the west and there is a lot of comflict bewteen villians (horse thieves) and downright good people in heart. Who offered to help find the kids while they abandoned the car to find their mystical horse. If you enjoyed the adventures of Goonies and the story of Stand By Me, you will find not a such complex of socializtion going on among groups, but rather a boys determination to catch the last wild horse. Good clean family movie.

Crazy about Horse Crazy
This movie is my favorite movie. I think anyone between the ages of five and eleven, and anyone who likes horses, would really like this movie. The characters are likable and funny.
