We decided last night to settle in on the couch, flick (pardon the pun) around the channels (all 64 of them) and find a nice movie to watch.
As is the case mostly at the moment there wasnt much on however there was the 2006 remake of Mary O Hara's great novel, "My Friend Flicker" . We thougt that this might be nice and settled in to watch the feel good movie.
What we didnt envisage was that the movie was going to be a dog. It was horrible!
There were so many inconsistencies throughout the movie, poor old Flicka (the wild mustang mare - not stallion) was left in the Mc Loughlin's round yard for most of the movie, without water, feed and unbelievably even though she was "as wild as wild can be" was able to be caught with a green apple and bridled within 5 mins by the female actor, Alison Lohman, and ridden. What a miracle! If only it was like that in real life?!!!!
Sadly the movie falls in a heap - not even Flicka surviving a fatal attack from a mountain lion could keep my interest piqued and I fell asleep with my head on Evan's shoulder!
It makes you wonder why movie makers bother to make such movies....
