Horse Sense (1999)

terrible... so disappointed.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

In my faux awards for Disney movies (delusional, I know.) This won Best Picture. The directing was great, The writing is wonderful. Joey and Andy Lawerence were excellent. The acting, very good. The photography, excellent. The music score, nice. Very enjoyable dramedy. I like how they had them playing cousins in this movie instead of brothers, which they are. I felt sorry for Andy's character for what Joey's character did to him. I would feel insulted or upset to if I was dropped off at some place thats really for the 8 years and under crowd. I like the story too. I admit that I have not seen this in some time, so I can't really say much else. I do remember it enough to know that it is a fun experience.

I Really really really liked this film i wanted to see it for ages but as i live in Britain they no channel ever showed it! But then the channel Trouble (who seem to be in love with Joey Lawrence! Just like me!!) Were having a whole day dedicated to him showing brotherly love and run of the house! But the main reason they did it was because they were FINALLY going to show Horse sense on British television!!! God bless Trouble t.v!!!!!! Anyway i watched the film and absolutely loved it. It's a really cute Disney movie starring two of the Lawrence brothers Joey and Andy. Its about this Kid called Tommy (Andy) who lives on a ranch with his mother in the country but is going to L.A to visit his older spoilt rich kid cousin Micheal (Joey)! But Micheal treats Tommy like crap so is forced by his parents to spend 30 days on Tommy's ranch! He starts off rough but after a while he truly begins to realise how hard Tommy has to work (even though he's only 11 years old!) And really learns a lesson and ends up saving the ranch!! All in one month! You go Joey!! I love you!!!!!

I saw this movie back in April 2000 when I was bored one Saturday afternoon and I was surfing through the channels and I found this movie playing on the Disney Channel. It looked entertaining right when I started to watch it. I loved this movie from beginning to end. I liked how the 2 antagonistic cousins put their differences aside and saved the one's ranch from foreclosure. I also liked it how the 2 cousins spent time having fun with one another on the ranch and getting to know each other. It does show what family members can do for each other and learn to love. I recommend this movie and the sequel Jumping Ship (2001) (TV) for everyone!

Disney "original" films, which almost always feature wise-cracking kids controlling their own type of fantasy world, are almost always ludicrous.However, Horse Sense, though not a great film altogether, is probably the best of the bunch (being Disney "Originals") because it offers a fairly interesting, though predictable story with an all too emotionally controlling ending. However, it's for the kids, which is why I give it 2.5/5 stars-JOHN ULMER
