Dani Fielding (Danielle C. Ryan) is forced to live her horse-doctor uncle Sam Fielding (Kevin Sorbo) after her father Mitch (C. Thomas Howell) is sent to prison. The bitter teen is not happy with her new living situation. Jody Peterson (Kristy Swanson) is the friendly neighbor.
I know the movies that Kevin Sorbo has been making during the last decade is a lot of preachy God stuff. Some people can pull off the father-knows-best work. He comes off as arrogant. In this case, he's more human. He's a bit grumpy and messy. This is set up for both characters to learn lessons and find joy. It needs better progression. It needs better writing. I can see where the story has potential, but this is not good enough. It's bland even for a family friendly fare and they don't have to be. By the time of the action rescue, the movie has lost most of the audience.
