This movie is full of hot, grimy, lonesome cowpokes, and nobody pokes anyone. LAME!

If it's going to be a paint-by-numbers plot then there should be an emotional core to hang it on.

With Flicka, young ladies who weren't in the market for Brokeback Mountain get their own chance to drool over the wide open spaces and awe-inspiring mountains of Wyoming, if they can avert their gaze from the gorgeous horses, that is.

It's about wild horses representing a special sort of speed, force, and freedom, beyond Wild West shows and shootouts and men with no names.

This is a genuinely nice movie that wears its old-fashioned values proudly, and I had a good time watching it. Flicka is for the teenage girl in all of us.

It's got lovely vistas, and earnest performances, and Allison Lohman... is very believable.
