    A sweet family drama about a girl and her misunderstood horse, Moondance Alexander focuses on a teenager who is longing to fit into a world where she is considered an oddball. Though Moondance (Kay Panabaker) is cute as a button, she's saddled with an unpopular name and that, apparently, is enough to make other 15-year-old girls dislike her. But when the spunky kid finds a mischievous runaway pinto, her life changes for the better. The horse's owner is played by a gravely voiced Don Johnson, who allows Moondance to work at his stable. In return, he will also train her to ride Checkers, who is her new best friend. Moondance is convinced that Checkers is a champion jumper in the making that just needs someone to believe in him. She believes. And by the end of the movie, the parable won't be lost on anyone that in bringing out the best in Checkers, Moondance also discovers her own worth. Directed by soap opera star Michael Damian, the film has a warm, but cheesy made-for-TV vibe. The movie is not without charm. But there are virtually no surprises here, and the viewer easily guesses what will happen way before it actually does. Panabaker, Johnson and Lori Loughlin (as Moondance's mom) are all wonderful in their roles. But figure skater Sasha Cohen is sorely miscast as Moondance's high-school nemesis. --Jae-Ha Kim

    I rented this movie for my daughter and she loved it. She asked if I would buy it for her--so I did.

    You don't have to be a horse-lover to enjoy this splendid movie. Inspired by a true story; this film follows Moondance Alexander, an outcast teenager struggling with her father's recent death. While out making deliveries, Moondance encounters an escaped pinto pony that she quickly befriends and renames "Checkers". Her budding relationship with Checkers introduces her to the world of horse competition. Wonderful family film!

    I was not impressed with the condition of the DVD, especially since I was not able to watch it in its entirety, due to the disc being defected. It quit when Moondance was in the horse show competition. I tried cleaning the disc, but to no avail, there was no way of dealing with it, other than disposing of it.

    A nice family film devoid of the vulgarity, sensuality and other offensive things in many of today's films. It is simple though not one I'll watch repeatively.

    RATED G: for inspirational, wholesome, and family-friendly. A great job by Kay Panabaker as 15-yr-old Moondance who is put-down by her schoolmates. Don Johnson is fantastic as a has-been trainer. His believable character evokes empathy.

    This horse story (Checkers, a pinto this time) is like most horse stories. You gotta believe the horse will achieve success. Even with the typical super-horse ending, the story is a pleasant diversion into horse and stable life. Perhaps every young girl wishes to have a "Checkers" of their own. If they don't, this pleasant movie will give it to them. But, this story is actually more about Moondance, the rider, than the horse. And she's just as loveable.

    This warm movie demonstrates perseverance as well as the lesson that everyone deserves a chance, and even a second chance. Lots of second chances given in this movie. It's always rewarding when something of this quality comes from the inspiration of a true story.

    Truly one for the FAMILY to watch.
