Default Dreamer the movie
finally watched it, what a piece of crap. Shameless self promotion for the Breeders Cup, I like how they had a D Wayne type character in David Morse, then they had a Godolphin like crew which one of the brothers helps out Dakota Fanning. Then a filly wins the thing from last to first at 80-1, its probably like having a filly like In the gold or something get up to beat Sakhee or Street Cry

on a positive note, Elizabeth Shue looked amazing, I loved the way she filled out that dress on BC day..lol Shes still as beautiful when she played the hooker in Leaving Las Vegas. Her breasts defy gravity.

Kurt Russell also gave a good performance, but I didnt care for the rest of the cast

I did too. Enjoy it for what it is, a family movie. Totally believable? Not really but a fun family movie.

Exactly... it's definitely a more positive movie for children and adults alike than some of the other garbage out right now.

Me too. Dakota Fanning is fabulous in it as well. I believe Kurt Russell bought her one of the horses as a surprise after the movie was finished too.

Not to mention that Chris (SCC) has a bit part in the movie!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie all the way through. And yes, Elisabeth Shue looks amazing.

It was an extremely cheesy but cute movie. I liked seeing David Morse play a "bad guy". He's a good actor but never gets any major roles.

only part that drove me crazy in the movie was when the horse bolted and took off with "Dakota" on her back...but you could see plain as day a really bad wig on a bigger person actually on the horse.
