Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story (2005)

Cast: Kurt Russell (Ben Crane), Dakota Fanning (Cale Crane), Kris Kristofferson (Pop Crane), Elisabeth Shue (Lily), David Morse (Palmer), Freddy Rodriguez (Manolin)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story page.

This is my cousin Amy's daughter Kally's favorite movie and I can see why. It's a beautiful movie about a horse that's inspired by a true story. When I was about her age (7), Black Beauty was one of my favorite movies. What young girl doesn't love horse movies? I haven't known many.

Fortunately, Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story isn't just for children. My husband and I both really enjoyed this movie. The name's way too long, but don't let that keep you from renting this well-done movie with an amazing cast and beautiful horses. The movie has good messages for everyone, not just children. It shows a father becoming involved in his daughter's life again.

I found it very interesting to find that this was originally written for a boy to play the character of Cale Crane and they changed it for Dakota Fanning. I'd imagine a lot of people would be willing to do that, since she's such a great actress and definitely the golden girl of Hollywood at the moment. I also think it's good to have a strong young female character for girls to relate to in theatres. There can never really be enough of those.

I highly recommend renting Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story - especially if you have children! It's well done, is very inspirational, and has some great messages about life.

Grade: B+
