“Inspired by a true story”

Producer’s Synopsis: “Inspired by a true story, “Moondance Alexander” follows a spirited teen named Moondance (Kay Panabaker) living with her eccentric mother (Lori Loughlin). Moondance is faced with another uneventful summer until she discovers a lost pinto pony named Checkers who has jumped out of his paddock. Although she returns the horse to his rightful owner, the gruff and mysterious Dante Longpre (Don Johnson), Moondance is convinced that Checkers is a champion jumper in disguise and is determined to help him realize his full potential. She manages to talk Dante into training her and Checkers for the Bow Valley Classic and despite the criticism of her nemesis, Fiona (Sahsa Cohen); discovers that perseverance, loyalty and individuality can land you in the winner's circle.”

Positive - I took my 7 year old daughter, and we loved it. We cried and laughed. It was a good family movie. I highly recommend this film to anybody. This is a movie that everyone can enjoy if your 1 or 101.

Positive - This film is great! After watching it, we talked (the family) alot about issue facing our kids at a young age...namely peer pressure, fitting in, etc. Kay Panabaker (Moondance) does a great job of showing how you don't have to be the most popular or 'coolest' person in school to triumph. Just stay true to yourself and you will be fine. The acting is superb as well - Don Johnson is a loveable grouch, Sasha Cohen is a great villian (imagine that!) and the horse steals the show. If you're looking for a great family film, this is it. 5 stars
