Honestly now, I don't remember much about the film's plot because I've seen this film ages ago and I just didn't hurry and write a critique on it. It isn't that the film was uninspired. It's just that it contains the most common plot in the Hollywood arena, although based on a true story, and I couldn't remember well enough except for Dakota Fanning's saving performance. Damn this kid. Put her in the most horrible story every written for screen, she could still walk away with a gracious smile and a performance that saves a film from almost sinking. Thanks to this Fanning kid. Dreamer isn't one of those rotten tomato territory. But exactly, since when has been a story of a horse that had a broken leg then struggled to race again the tracks of ultimate glory? And since when has been a movie that a horse had starred in with a title based on the horse itself? Name a few, Spirit, Seabuiscuit, and now Dreamer? or maybe Black Beauty? Whatever. The story wasn't that all too Oscar-esque or maybe Golden Globe-esque. It's just an ordinary movie pulled to strings together by one major lead, to mention a kid. And she's one of Hollywood's most powerful A-Lister. Yes, she's 11 years old and she's rockin' the house. Dakota Fanning rules.
