This movie is full of hot, grimy, lonesome cowpokes, and nobody pokes anyone. LAME!

Classic book gallops to the big screen.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2011

...an entirely needless piece of work.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 17, 2009

Perhaps the children will enjoy this, but I was just choked by the corniness...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 11, 2007

If it's going to be a paint-by-numbers plot then there should be an emotional core to hang it on.

With Flicka, young ladies who weren't in the market for Brokeback Mountain get their own chance to drool over the wide open spaces and awe-inspiring mountains of Wyoming, if they can avert their gaze from the gorgeous horses, that is.

A girl and a horse: that's love. What more can we want?

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 13, 2006

A skillfully told, beautifully shot coming-of-age story.

An engrossing and beautifully acted remake that salutes horses, freedom, and familial love in ways that stir the heart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2006

It's about wild horses representing a special sort of speed, force, and freedom, beyond Wild West shows and shootouts and men with no names.

Ultimately, the entire endeavor seems like an effort to cash in on a predictably bankable tale.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 30, 2006

If you seek high-quality family entertainment, you have a friend in "Flicka."

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 29, 2006

Maria Bello's skill and onscreen presence speak volumes about the mother's thoughts and feelings, even when the script leaves her high and dry.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 28, 2006

This is a genuinely nice movie that wears its old-fashioned values proudly, and I had a good time watching it. Flicka is for the teenage girl in all of us.

Flicka's simplicity may be its best attribute.

Would I pay to see it? No, probably not, but then I'm not a 12-year-old girl or the parent of a young child.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 26, 2006

There simply aren't enough scenes illustrating the burgeoning bond between Katy and Flicka.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 25, 2006

It's got lovely vistas, and earnest performances, and Allison Lohman... is very believable.

Formulaic but family-friendly revision and updating of the familiar coming-of-age drama.
