Our Wild Hearts

source: Our Wild Hearts

So the girl from Malibu is able to get on a wild horse bareback - with no problem ... but the seasoned cowboy can't get on him without being bucked off? The girl from Malibu successfully saddles the wild horse and rides him into the wild? The girl from Malibu is on the horse and the "bad guy" shoots at them - and the wild horse just stands there - and doesn't get spooked? The girl from Malibu gets shot at while sitting on a saddle on a wild horse - and says "what's that?" They're bullets. The girl's mom - also from Malibu - hears the gunshots and says "are those gunshots?" PLEASE! WHO WRITES THIS STUFF? A ridiculous movie - no wonder Hallmark dumped it to IMDB TV.

I would have rated it 6 stars other than the Music was just too loud, often making dialogue illegible. A good movie otherwise for families to watch together.

Who in the world breaks a horse by tying up its front legs and leaving it lay on the ground like that overnight?!? I have never known of anyone doing that in the real world. When the girl is riding the wild horse, the father comes up and makes big motions and yells. Anyone who knows anything about horses knows that's the #1 way to spook a horse. This girl shows up and says she is his daughter. He just takes it as the truth and doesn't check it out? Read the Goofs section for more. Extremely unrealistic.

This is a wonderful family movie that I stumbled on to. It was uplifting and inspiring. I am not going to waste time telling you what it is about. Others have done a good job of that. Just about anything Hallmark meets my approval. Some might say the movie is kind of cheesy. That doesn't matter in the least, because I like the movie well enough, to buy a DVD.

The film was marred by all the protagonists wearing make-up, whether day or night. Is it really credible that our heroine would have had the time, let alone the inclination, to worry about her appearance? All she's interested in is saving that horse. Why would her father wear eye-shadow? Only if this was a comedy like 'Blazing Saddles'. I would have given this film 5 stars if it had not been demeaned by this idiotic error. Being a lover of horses I was enthralled by this film from start to finish. The filming itself was remarkable, from the air, from the ground, from close-ups to dramatic scenes of horses in huge groups, galloping in harmony and grace. I wasn't too keen on her young admirer, he seemed a bit too weak in contrast to her. If I'd know how good this film would be I'd have recorded it. Let's hope for a repeat.

**Spoiler** I wanted to love this movie. After all, who doesn't love Ricky Schroder and horses? I've probably seen every movie he has made and couldn't wait on this one. I was so disappointed in it, however, I couldn't finish watching it. There were just too many plot holes. Who lets a 15 year old girl travel alone to an address of a man she has never met, not even knowing if he still lives there? She popped in right at supper time and within 5 minutes of arriving decided she was ready for bed, once again in the home of a man she's never met. The neighbors stole Ricky's horse and he just let them take it. The neighbors also shot at the horse and girl, which is attempted murder. Once again, no cops called. It takes a long time to break a horse and he was broke overnight. Ricky Schroder is a fine actor, but his kids not so much. The story was so predictable that I didn't bother to watch the ending, but the acting was really bad. If you like cheesy movies and don't care how bad the acting is or the dozen plot holes, this is an okay movie to watch.

A really enjoyable Family movie. The 2nd highest rated Hallmark movie channel movie ever. Cambrie Schroder breakout debut role. She delivers a solid performance and carries the film with her wonderful charisma. Thefilm was written and Directed by her Father Ricky who plays Jack Thomas, a cowboy on the edge of losing his ranch. Nice supporting roles are played by Angela Linvall, Eloise De Joria, Martin Kove, Cliff Pots and Chris Massagolia. The cinematography was beautiful, as is all the work of Steve Gainer, who also had a producing credit on the film. Andrea Schroder co-write and Executive Produced. A sequel is already in the development process based on the huge success of the original title "Our Wild Hearts.

Our Wild Hearts has producer director Rick Schroder all of a sudden has a 15 year old daughter he never knew about drop in for a visit. The daughter is played by Rick's real life daughter Cambria Schroder. She's just found out about her dad from her single mom who never discussed him. She's from Malibu and she's used to the beach lifestyle. Now she's heading for the Sierra Nevadas and the rancher father she's just found out about. Rick's fallen on bad times. He had a dude ranch back in the day, but now he captures and breaks wild mustangs for riding horses. There's a stallion leader that he and rival rancher Martin Kove want. Someone must have been inspired by the old television series Fury. Young Cambria is the one who tames him, but the stallion is a one woman horse just the way Fury was with Joey. There are some nice performances here. Rick Schroder even got a couple of his sons in playing sons of Kove. Kove is a real bad dude, you might remember him best for being the sensei of that bad dojo in Karate Kid. He's just as bad here. Our Wild Hearts is a nice family film from the family Schroder.

فيلم جيد!
