My husband and I checked this movie out of our local library last weekend and watched it with our 6 year old twin daughters. All four of us loved it! It may make you and your children cry at times but it will also help your children to realize, that in real life, animals do get hurt and it's heartbreaking when that happens. It will also make them understand that not every horse that breaks a leg must be put down; that sometimes miracles do happen. I highly recommend it!

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 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.

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

My 5 year old Daughter is a horse lover and LOVES this movie. She wants to watch it all the time.
