Jeanie and I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of a man and his horse...
As usual, rather than trying to recap the movie, here's a link to Rotten Tomatoes. I must say that in this case, I really do agree with the Tomatoes and disagree with the green splats. All to often, I think people are looking for every movie to be an earth shaking, soul wrenching, life changing event. I, on the other hand, look to be entertained for my two hours and $4-$10. Give me a happy ending, and that's icing on the cake.
We did find it interesting that the movie was based (at least in part) on a real life man - Frank Hopkins - maybe. I also came across this site which contends that Frank Hopkins is a myth/hoax.
Regardless of what you believe regarding the reality of the existence of Frank Hopkins and his horse, we found Hidalgo to be a very enjoyable movie.
