I loved this and WHOLEHEARTEDLY and without exception recommend it for kids over 8. Recommending it for ALL 5 to 7 year olds is a bit more troublesome. Many kids would be fine but the gasp-producing fall at the beginning plus family tension and mean grownups would upset my sensitive 5 yo. So think before bringing your little ones, definitely take your school agers and pre-teens, TRY to take your husband (mine balked!) and, whatever you do, don't forget the tissues!

I really liked this movie. So what if it was predictable. I would rather see a really good predictable movie than a poorly-acted non-predictable movie. It's rare that there are good movies out there that the whole family can enjoy together.

this is great for kids to watch i love this movie.

You and your kids will be inspiered to doing things you never thought you could do. Some parts will make you cry and others laugh. It truly is a family friendly movie.

I really enjoyed Dreamer! I haven't watched it for a while but I do remember crying (happy cry I think) and thoroughly enjoying it!

This movie is beautifully made -- from the gorgeous cinematography, to the touching script, to the wonderful acting by Dakota Fanning, Kurt Russell and Elizabeth Shue. I loved "Seabiscuit," but it will be some time before my 5 year old daughter will be able to enjoy it (among other reasons, because of the scenes with jockeys and prostitutes). But here is something that has a lot of the joy, excitement, and thematic elements (such as give a horse, or a person a 2nd chance) of "Seabiscuit," but the whole family can enjoy it. All 3 of us (my husband included) had tears in our eyes at the thrilling climax. We can't wait to own it on dvd! We finally have some amazing family entertainment in the theaters right now, with "Wallace & Gromit," and now "Dreamer!" I give it my highest recommendation.

I dont like that I have to say this but I din't really like this movie! I don't think that it was stupid or dumb I just didn't like it.

I love this movie!! Its really cute and well put out. I loved it because im a horse lover! Its really cute. Its got no sexual content and little lauguage
