my daughter and i be avid movie goer . we both agree that the movie market be over glutted with cgi animate flick . we saw both over the hedge and and the wild and and they leave u cold . we may give flush away a chance and only because the guy behind the beloved wallace and gromit film and and chicken run . flicka have it problem and such a a female lead who look far too old to be in high school and a brother who act like he be flirt with her more than his on screen girlfriend . and an impossibly perfect mom and but it still do not disappoint . of course i read the original flicka book a a child and remember the old b and w tv series . this movie doesn not even come close and but from the moment the rodeo guy take flicka away until the end of the movie and my daughter and i be cry bucket . i also think that hunky tim mcgraw be superb and and be jealous of maria bello when they do the slow dance .
