I remember seeing this way back in my past and it was an awesome movie. I love it and i want to purchase it, sadly it is almost impossible to find at a reasonable price.It is sad, touching, adventurous, i absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a good family movie. :) Why on earth is it so darn hard to find though? I searched online and its for sale VHS, new, for like 50$?I was hoping more to get a DVD version, but thats closer to impossible to find compared to the other.This is also a good horse lovers film. The movie is about a horse and a boy and it comes with many good family elements as well. A beautifully created film that i hope to see released again in the future.

Flash is a lightweight, but entertaining enough, little family film. Lucas Black is appealing enough as Conner, but his southern accent sounds phony. It's too much. For once, Shawn Toovey (annoying Brian from Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) manages not to drive me crazy, playing Conner's rich friend Tad.Brian Kerwin is always perfectly tolerable, although here he disappears after the first 30-40 minutes, not to resurface until the end. He is fine as Conner's dad. Ellen Burstyn is cute as Conner's grandma, Laura, although what an actress of her caliber is doing in a flick like this is beyond me.Of course, most of what transpires after the first part of Flash is highly improbable, but you do find yourself rooting for the determined Conner and his horse. This is a good, clean movie for kids, but as an adult, I doubt I'd sit through it again.

This was a wonderful movie, and very well cast. The story had a very real sense to it, that is a relief in between all the tacky laughtrack re-run of sitcoms. I admit I did cry a little, but the film deserved each smile and tear. I think very highly of this movie and recommend for all ages.
