Dream Horse

THE GIST: Needing to fill a void in her life, Jan decides to breed and raise a race horse. Given the considerable expenses involved, she convinces a few of her townspeople to join her in co-owning the horse, in the hopes that he will one day race competitively.

Dream Horse is a charming little comedy with a big heart, made all the more incredible by the fact that it's based on a real story.

The cast is excellent, led by the always great Toni Collette and a dashing Damian Lewis.

Honestly, the racing scenes are pure adrenaline rushes.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The perfect movie if you're looking for a feel-good night.

Grade: 7.5
