A young woman pins her hopes and dreams on a maverick horse in this drama based on the classic novel by Mary O'Hara. Katy (Alison Lohman) is the teenage daughter of a horse rancher (Tim McGraw) who is grooming his son to take over the family business, while Katy is sent to an exclusive private school where she feels like a misfit. One day, while out riding, Katy finds a wild horse, a beautiful black mustang, and she feels an emotional connection with the animal. While her father is convinced having a mustang around his herd will be bad for both his thoroughbred ponies and the wild horse, Katy is certain she can break the strong-willed steed and make him a champion, and she even gives the horse a name -- Flicka. As Katy struggles to tame the headstrong Flicka, she also tries to prove to her father that she knows horses as well as he does, and that she's every bit as capable of running the ranch as her brother. Also starring Maria Bello and Ryan Kwantan, Flicka was previously adapted for the screen as My Friend Flicka in 1943. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The story line was really great. Alison Lohman's performance was really believable her father's not too much! The scenic wideshots were so beautiful. This is truly a terrific family film with suspense, drama, some comedic moments, and of course a film that will make you cry! The film made me think about my dad (may he rest in peace). I've been unhappy with the ending of many films but I was pleased with the ending of this film!

    If you like a family movie about horses, this would be a must see movie. It's a good thing to listen to your parents, but you also have to teach them about things you feel strongly about too. I sure hope that they continue to make more movies like this.

    Lohman does a great job, however McGraw's performance is questionable. It's a decent flick, awesome countryside where it takes place, but Lohman never has any romantic interest.
