Movies About Wild Horses Overcoming Odds And Becoming The Perfect Companion SUCK


A girl finds a wild black stallion in the forest, covered in flies and insects and stuff. Well not really, but there's a bunch of shit blowing in the wind when she finds it, looks weird. Anyway, she tries to catch it, but it's such a stubborn fucker it would rather jump off a cliff then be anywhere near her. But the father of the girl lassoos the son of a bitch before it can dive into the sprawling canyon, and puts it into captitivity back at his ranch. This makes the horse chuck a fit and kick it's hind legs into the air!!!
The girl names the horse Flicka, and she tries to domesticate it. But it has made it quite clear (since it tried to kill her, then commit suicide) that it doesn't want to be her fucking friend, so it hurts her. So the father gets all pissed off, and wants some people to take it away, but she's like "NO, I WANT TO TORTURE THE CREATURE MORE. I WANT TO FORCE IT INTO A LIFE OF BEING MY SLAVE." so with the help of Ryan Kwanten, she overrules her father and keeps the horse in constant misery. And everyone's happy, except the aforemention title character Flicka. And the audience, whom have seen this story so many fucking times that the mere sight of another horse, nay, another mammal will result in a shower of vomit.

Ahh, Flicka. We know it's not your fault. You're a fawn in the headlights of Hollywood... or at least a foal. Semantics aside, the same can be said for the talented Alison Lohman, who is just horrifically plain and predictable in this generic trot around familiar grazing territory.
And just as this review is plagued with shitty horse themed puns, this trailer is just PLAGUED with trailer cliches. Oh my good fucking god, the music is that same weepy string-based scum used to promote sweeping epics that don't look very quality, but using it with this is just a new low. This is as formulaic as you can get, folks. Absolutely no originality, absolutely no purpose, fuck all reason for existing, fuck all reason for actually seeing it. (Even though I probably will at some point, if only because I'm moronic.)

This has GOT to be rewarded September's Most Generic. I don't see it being topped.
Although it's in no way even close to kicking Sleeping Dogs Lie off the throne of Worst Trailer. I think it's going to take a movie about a wild horse overcoming odds and becoming the perfect oral sex partner for that 'accolade' to ever be beaten.



Flicka - 20th Century Fox
Anticipation Level: Stay unreleased.
Look out for: I don't know, the really really terrible scene where Alison Lohman is coaxing the horse with an apple. The dialogue and delivery is classically awful.
US Release date: 20th October, 2006.
