This is like Racing Stripes with the the thoroughbred instead of the zebra. For those of us who have seen 500 of these formula movies (down on the luck people (who happen to be better looking, charming, and appealing) make an amazing comeback while evil, rich, established people (who happen to look like Arab terrorists to really make us hate them),try to thwart them. (Spoiler, if that is possible). Oh boy, the down on the luck people win. Cheer Cheer. The good horse is attacked by the evil people's horse (who is also evil, of course) just before the race. The good people want to withdraw, but the horse insists on running. (Right) Get real. Of course the horse starts the race "dead last" and at the last minute moves up to win the race. Yawn. Boring. Incidentally, the children in the theater obviously were bored also and tried to entertain themselves by kicking the seats and making multiple trips in and out of the theater. The sad part is that I left the also boring Legend of Zorro movie hoping Dreamer would be better and ended up watching two duds. Pretty horses in both movies, anyway.
