Flicka 2 (2010 Video) User Reviews

My take on this

[Cuddlepie · 5/10 · 14 March 2011]

This was good movie being that i have not seen the first one. But it was to Predictable i mean young girl moves away to a farm and hates it at first then falls in love with the farm and someone/animal.

Tammin Sursok i thought was good in the movie but she was like 26-27 while filming. She does play a teenager pretty good but she is like 12 months younger then me. I remember watching her in Home and Away when I watch it.

Patrick Warburton loved him in this didn't think he could do drama since i have mainly seen him Comedies. His acting was OK in this playing the boss man on a farm was great. (well i thought it was).

One thing i feel is that the tension between Amy and Carrie could have been more of a plot in the movie since they didn't really touch on that much. which would have made the movie a little more interesting to watch.

Again this movie was good to watch and even though it was sequel it was strong enough on its own. and i have to say since i have not seen the first one i could follow the storyline.

So for a heart warming movie to watch with your daughter on a rainy afternoon this would be a movie you could watch.

bland family fare

Skateboarding Pittsburg girl Carrie (Tammin Sursok) is forced to move in with her estranged father Hank McLaughlin (Patrick Warburton) on his Wyoming range. Her mother died 7 years ago and her delusional grandma guardian has to go into a home. The only friend she makes is the wild horse Flicka. She falls for young handsome range hand Jake (Reilly Dolman). Toby (Clint Black) manages the horses on the farm. Amy Walker (Emily Tennant) is the arrogant neighbor who also has a crush on Jake.

This is a sequel to a relatively unseen family film. It made some money after its lackluster theatrical run which allowed the producers to make this straight to video sequel. Nobody is back from the original except the character of Flicka. I'm guessing it's not the same horse (Safe guess). The lead girl is fine. Warburton without his humor is fine. Everything is fine if all you want is family viewing with horses. There is nothing offensive. It's a safe and bland watch.

Underrated sequel

[lisafordeay · 6/10 · 7 June 2023]

Flicka 2 is the sequel to the 2006 film Flicka. The sequel stars Tammin Surok(Home And Away),Patrick Warburton(The Emperors New Groove) and Clint Black.

Carrie(Surok) and her father Hank(Warburton)move to the farmhouse in Wyoning after Carrie's grandmother caused a stir back in her own hometown. While in Wyoning Carrie befriends a mustang named Flicka(from the first movie) but a sleazy cowboy wants the mustang out. Will Carrie reunite with Flicka in the end?.

Overall it was a cute movie. The story was heartwarming,the acting was decent and the rest was good too. If you've seen the 1st one then you might like this film.

This is a very nice, watchable film about a girl and a horse, Flicka.

The theme is very common, a teenage girl goes to live with her estranged father, the girl does everything she can to make sure she remains miserable, while the father does everything he can to assure her that she is loved and wanted. Some type of animal needing care enters the picture, and provides the catalyst for mending relationships. The theme was central to, for example, "Fly Away Home", where the young girl went to live with her father after mom died. Rescuing wild goose eggs and raising the geese was the catalyst. I recently also saw Miley Cyrus' "Last Song" where she discovered a raccoon disturbing sea turtle eggs and she took an interest in their safety.

In this movie Tammin Sursok, 26 as a 16-year-old, is Carrie McLaughlin who is cared for by grandma in the city. But grandma is becoming senile and the authorities want to put her in a foster home, but instead goes to live in Wyoming (filmed in Canada) with her ranch-owner dad who was separated from her when she was a small girl.

Naturally she hates the ranch, the lack of internet, poor telephone reception, and no hard surfaces to practice her skateboarding. She acts like a brat, but dad (Patrick Warburton) never gives up. One day Carrie spots the beautiful, black Mustang Flicka, and the two of them take to each other right away.

The story is fairly predictable, the neighboring rancher is not a very friendly type, and his teenage riding daughter is a brat, stuck on herself, and in a pivotal scene they want Flicka destroyed. But being a family film we know that will not likely happen. There is also a cute teenage boy that makes things interesting for Carrie.

I enjoyed the movie. Sursock does well in her role, as well as Warburton. But my favorite is Clint Black as ranch hand Toby with he ever-present smile and the humorous lines he manages to deliver.

SPOILER: Dad's livestock damage the neighbor's fence once again and under the gun he has to give up Flicka which once had been a highly trained competition horse. The obnoxious daughter uses Flicka for competition, Flicka gets spooked by camera flashes, they fall, she loses, they want to have Flicka destroyed. But Carrie at night sneaks Flicka out and rides her to a remote area where the wild Mustangs hang out, to save her, and Carrie is able to visit her but not own her.

Cute...

Carrie is a big-city teenager whose life takes a turn when she moves to the Wyoming horse ranch to live with her father. But things change when Carrie meets Flicka, a black mustang mare who is as untamed and temperamental as the girl herself. The two form a very special connection and Carrie grows closer to her father and an attractive local boy, but when a jealous rival puts Flicka's life in danger, Carrie will do anything to save her best friend.

Cute, it's not a sequel to the first one, just a recreation based on Mary's original work on Flicka, cute, the drama is different from the first one, but even more intense and interesting, don't judge me, I love movies with cute animals, and I always root for your freedoms... Cute...

Finally a good sequel

[katcannon · 9/10 · 29 April 2010]

So I have never really been a fan of sequels. I tend to think they get over done and have terrible story lines. But being a fan of horses and of course the first Flica I gave it a shot. It is a touching story of a stero-typical teenage girl who is forced to go live with her father in the middle of nowhere. The acting was good, when the actress who was playing Carrie had to cry it was believable and I even cried along with her. The actor playing Jake has a pretty good voice even though his lyrics were kind of lame. The actress playing Amy did a good job on playing that mean girl every movie has to have. I liked Tim in the first Flick but wasn't disappointed with Hank. Overall I would watch it again, and you should to.

great family film everyone will love!!

I have to be honest, I am not a big horse person, but with this movie, you cant help fall in love with Flicka and all the people surrounding her. This is such a sweet film regarding difficult situations and getting through them with love. Even the wild, can be tamed. Plus you get to see beautiful scenery, surrounding this story.

We need more movies out like this that you can be proud to bring your children to. And not have to worry about profanity, and sexual content. Also, any violence. I applaud FLICKA 2 and all involved! What a great cast. The director did a fantastic job! A must see for all! Tell all your friends to purchase this movie!!

Great family movie.

I won't go into the storyline, as many have already done so. This is a great movie for preteens and younger teens. There are many lessons to be learned. Most kids (At least ours did.) see rules and chores as a form of punishment instead of a form of love and protection. This movie does, in fact, show this very well. Kids can see that Carrie's dad does love her and is encouraging her to learn the lessons of hard work, (None of her chores were that hard.) honesty and true friendship.

Being ranch and horse people, we noticed a few mistakes. The using of different horses for different scenes is pretty much normal and understandably necessary, but I do wish they would get the genders of the horse accurate. A gelding should not be used to depict a mare. I do wish someone would check to make sure a man wearing a belt gets the belt through all of the belt loops. 🙄

Having spent a few of my childhood years living in Beautiful B. C., it was wonderful to see the beautiful countryside.

Someone reported that reining is not that popular in the northwest, not true. Some 55 years ago my dad completed in a couple of reining and cutting classes in Kamloops, where part of this movie was filmed. (This brought back many warm and fuzzy memories.) Horse people love compitetion of any kind, whether it be roping, cutting reining or whatever.
