Each Wednesday I review a movie that I have seen recently. I try to select movies with meaning, movies that uplift and inspire, and movies that entertain, yet teach a moral message.
I walked into my local video store and as is true of most American video stores, even those that have “family” in their name, the vast majority of movies are pure muck. In fact, most Hollywood-made movies are inane or a wholly worthless waste of time and money. It is harder and harder to find a good movie.

I did spot this made-for-TV movie, The Princess Stallion. It proved to be good entertainment and with a simple and sincere story line. Even the movie’s Scottish countryside scenery was also uplifting.
The movie was about a young suburban Californian teenager who recently lost her single mom, who years ago had divorced her father. Her father was living in as sheep farmer in rural Scotland. After many hers she is reunited with her father, who she does not know. She faces culture shock when she moves to Scotland. Her father is a workaholic who apparently has no time to appreciate the beauty of the countryside. It is also the story of healing of fractured relationships.
The story is a story of good and evil. The good is in the relationship that grows between the young woman and her newly reacquainted father as well as an elderly man living a secluded existence on his beautiful mountain hide-away. The evil in this movie is found in the form of two derelicts. The two make a living poaching nature’s bounty on the old man’s mountain. The movie does an excellent job of showing the difference between good and bad.
RATING
If you can find this movie in your local library or video store, it is worth the time and money to rent it. I would give it a **** of a possible *****. It is a wholesome, clean, family-oriented movie. It is a heartwarming movie for these cold fall and winter months. I heartily recommend this movie. It is a good moralistic film fit for the whole family.
