Watch The Horse Dancer For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It should have been a good movie. The premise was there...but the script was horrible and the acting worse. Why is Samantha such a princess? Why is her Mom such a ditz? Who gets an Olympic Trial letter in the mail?! There are so many plot holes and ridiculous jumps I am amazed this turkey was released. My 6yr old grandson, who loves horse movies, didn't last 20 minutes. I continued watching, because I kept HOPING it would get better. It just got worse...the "panic" filled search for a missing "grief stricken" Samantha ( seriously?!?!? Can we just say Barney Fife would have been more convincing) and then the sudden and miraculous performance of :The Horse Dancer...ugh. This is a couple hours I'll never get back. DON'T waste your time!

"The Horse Dancer" is based on a real summer camp for kids in Michigan. There is a great line spoken by the mean old businessman, who refuses to offer financial support to the failing camp: "I'm funding Obamacare!", proclaims the self-made man. Based on the results of Obamacare, his money would have been better spent on Black River Camp. Despite his lack of philanthropic motivation, the counselors and the kids at camp pool their resources to help save the camp.The best relationship in the film was that of the gymnast Samantha and her grandmother. It was only unclear why Sam was such a prima donna, other than it was a necessary plot device. With the good influence of the grandmother, Sam shouldn't have been so grumpy.The filming was beautiful with the farm, the animals, and the idyllic site for a summer camp. But the singing sessions were pretty bad. It wasn't no much the lousing singing, but the obnoxious lyrics that were grating. On the other hand, the silliness of the "flag" ritual and the jaw-dropping stupidity of the "announcements" were so bad that they eventually became endearing features of summer camp.It was refreshing to watch a film with some decent values. The theme of teamwork was heartfelt, and the lead performer was a terrific gymnast. There was great comaraderie among the counselors and campers that embodied a truly positive spirit of Black River Farm. Bravo!

As a Michigan Actress, I would like to give a round of applause to the Director/Actor: Joel Paul Reisig, for this outstanding film! Though I was not in this film personally, I did attend the premiere and was so proud of everyone for their hard work and dedication. What a beautiful family-friendly film. The script dealt with so many emotions, sad, happy, loss, challenge, excitement, and more. It was wonderful of the Director to include so many young actors and to allow them to experience being in a feature film. The quality and clarity of the filming were superb! Bringing in a few actors from Hollywood made the film that much exciting. From start to finish, this film grabbed my interest and my eyes never left the screen till after the credits. The premier was an autograph signing event, glitz and glamour and the respect and admiration the Director has for each and every cast member were admirable. Thank you, Joel, for making a difference in the lives of actors, of all ages.

Immediately when I started watching this movie I got a feeling about actors not being professionals. This feeling continued until the end of the movie. Very poor performance of the actors. By changing the actors, it could have been good movie, not difficult for watching. It is typical American plot where everything ends up well.
