As described on the poster, ‘Dream Horse’ is definitely an inspirational, feel-good movie. It really is an enjoyable film that I highly recommend. Have we seen this type of film before? Perhaps, but this one is also done well and right now I'll take any film that leaves you feeling positive and upbeat.
The story is about a hard working woman named Jan Vokes who bartends in a small town. She's tired of living her dreary, daily life and tells her husband one day that she's going to breed a race horse. She convinces many of her neighbors to chip in and help pay for the cost of breeding, training and racing the horse in hopes that they can do better financially. With the help of those who invest, and these are quite the characters, the group manages to do what many would consider to be the impossible and end up owning a winner.
The story isn't all win and glory and fame as things do happen that cause many to doubt that they'll be successful. That's what makes this a very good film. It's funny and entertaining in many ways. The main character is played by Toni Collette, who does a great job in her role.
This is lighthearted stuff but it's still worth a watch for some joy and a few good laughs.
Coming to theaters on May 21.
