It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I just watched this movie, with my boyfriend who was planning on using it for a film study in his English 30-1 class. I cried the whole way through... and he was looking at me as though I was crazy. I mean, I loved it, but it was just too sad. Being a country kid myself, I know what it's like to have to move into "town" and it's tough. But the poor Will, he loses his girlfriend (who is his cousin...), his farm, and his grandpa -- All in one winter. It just made me SO sad. Based on the old legend that when it's your time to move on, a stark white horse comes to take you to the next world, this movie can only be summed up as wonderful, heart-warming, and just plain old sad. It makes you laugh at all the right times, with lines like "You had that coming since the day you learned to talk." and the dream about the gophers... It also knows how to tug on your heartstrings...WONDERFUL FILM.
