As someone who grew up watching the REAL Flicka movies which starred Roddy McDowell, I found this trilogy of movies to be rather childish an NOWHERE near as good as the original. I suggest that people go watch the original movies to see what the REAL Flicka movies were all about!!!

I always loved the first Flicka and I wasn't a big fan of the second one. But seeing the commercials for this movie I wanted to buy it! Being an equestrian myself and a jumper I loved watching the eventing that they do in this movie! Flick has been a wonderful series and I really do recommend this series and this movie to everyone! Especially ones who know about riding and shows or to anyone who wishes to learn more!Even with the background and story plot it teaches you a lot about eventing and can give you a insight to what it looks like! Also some on what is expected when eventing with a wonderful story added in!From start to finish Flicka Country Pride is the best movie!

I am usually all over this type of stuff, like heartland and cowgirls n' angels and shows like that, but this I didn't particularly like because of the basics of the story. Within the first ten minutes, I knew how this movie was going to end. Stephanie gets humiliated, Kelly and Briggs get together, the farm stays open, and Toby and Lindy get together. Or, if we wanna get super good story structure, we will leave some wiggle room for a little character development and have Stephanie become a good person. This movie was just a little to predictable for me. There was also to many montages for me. The montages also had no dramatic steps for the characters which I would of liked to see, but I just brushed that one off. The charity ball was also a total cliché as well. but the were some touching moments where I really sympathized with Kelly. But I don't think Kacey Rohl was a good choice for the cast.

KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Casey Chandler (age 11) reviews the film below: Video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wojywwMsjHQ Flicka, Country Pride, is a heartwarming story about a girl who finds courage and determination to make her dreams come true. This inspiring story is sure to touch the hearts of all you horse lovers out there! The third in the series of Flicka movies, originally inspired by the classic novel by Mary O'hara, Flicka is based upon a beautiful mustang horse said to have a heart so bold, she can win a restless spirit. In this movie, the "restless spirit" is a girl named Kelly, played by KaceyRohl. As a horse lover and owner, I have to admit that horse movies usually win me over. There is such an amazing connection between riders and horses and I think that the Director, Michael Damien, once again, succeeds in showing us how truly magical that connection is between Flicka and Kelly. The story begins when Toby (Clint Black) takes a temporary job at the Cherry Creek Stable with several horses, including Flicka in tow. Lindy's teenage daughter, Kelly, instantly connects with Flicka. The spirited black mare helps Kelly get through her day of chores, school and thinking about her deceased father. She no longer competes as a three day eventer and to make matters worse, she is pushed aside by her snobby ex-best friend. Life is complicated for Kelly and she cannot seem to stand up for herself until Flicka comes along. Flicka not only inspires Kelly to compete but also helps her find new and old relationships. The movie was filmed in Kelowna, British Columbia with a storybook farm setting and countryside. One of my favorite characters is Toby. He became a strong link between the family's tragic past and future filled with possibilities. Although the story was very predictable, it is hard to not enjoy the classic theme based on working hard and achieving your dreams! I enjoyed this movie for its great cinematography and main characters. Although the story could have been a bit stronger, I give it a 3 ½ out of 5 stars. The movie is best enjoyed by pre-teen and early teens
