Product Description:
An impetuous young man sets out to tame a herd of wild horses in 19th century australia. Filmed on location in the beautiful australian frontier.Studio: TcfheRelease Date: 03/06/2007Starring: Kirk Douglas Tom BurlinsonRun time: 105 minutesRating: Pg
Amazon.com essential video:
A conventional boy-and-his-horse story set against the red rocks of remote Australian mountains. (If there's a wide-screen edition, grab it. The scenery is one of the movie's strongest features.) Tom Burlinson is Jim Craig, a young man left stranded after his father's death who is struggling to save the family farm. He proves his manhood during a hair-raising hunt over the wooded slopes in search of an escaped stallion. The great, grizzled, Australian character actor Jack Thompson (the idealistic lawyer in Breaker Morant) is the tough, older horseman who takes the lad under his wing. The director, George Miller (not to be confused with the action-master who made the Mad Max films) allows costar Kirk Douglas to mug and grimace and prance far too much in a duel role as a pair of lovable old coots who hate each other's guts. Luckily, one of the coots has a handsome daughter (Sigrid Thornton, an Elizabeth McGovern-type with grit), who also has a way with horses. So it isn't all rocks and pine trees. --David Chute

Rating: - Man From Snowy River DVD
This was a well told story of a mountain boy's journey to manhood.The plot of the story is not be out-done by the breath-taking views of the Australian mountain regions.The first movie was very well done that I hear a sequel has already been completed.If you want to watch a movie that will take you away from your everyday problems, this one is definitely the one to watch.

Rating: - A Good Family Movie
This film combines a pretty good story, great scenery, very good horse action, and some romance.
Admittedly, it is probably geared a bit more toward women, but it is not just a 'chick flick'.Men and children can enjoy this one also.
