Makes good 'Horse Sense'

Alas, I saw the trailer for this film before watching it (a practice I've now stopped) so I was aware of the 'big twist'. This didn't, however, impact one jot my enjoyment of this rousing tale of a spirited small town girl who breaks free from her humdrum life to live out her dream as someone who jumps off a diving board on horseback into a pool of water(!) Yes, I know it sounds daft, but we're talking about the 30's here... No internet, no TV and hardly anyone could afford to go to the movies. In other words, Hell On Earth.Regardless, she overcomes many obstacles along the way, including a massive one later on... Which I will not reveal. She also falls in love with her bosses son, which is a tad creepy as she's playing a schoolgirl of about 14 and he must be about 30. The actress was about 20 in real life, but it still leaves a slightly bad taste in the mouth. Ick. If you can get over that though, it's good stuff all the way with arresting characters and a decent feeling for the period. It's one of the more polished Disney live-action films I've seen, and is well worth your time... 7/10
