What Are The Odds..."Dark Horse"

Dark Horse (2015)

Rated PG

Written & Directed by Louise Osmond

The Story:

In the Welsh village of Cefn Fforest, the townsfolk band together and pledge £10 a week to dream the impossible dream of raising a horse to run in competition.

This is their story.

And it's a heartwarming story to be sure.

Add up the cliches, the underdog story, and you've got the formula right here.

A bunch of poor townfolk, many unemployed dare to join the sport of the aristocracy and enter a world they could only dream of.

Nobody had a clue what they were doing.

Not the owners.

Not the horse.

But with a good trainer, could the impossible happen?

Well, they rarely make movies like that unless it does.

So sit back and get ready to laugh a little, maybe cry a little and enjoy the love and camaraderie of some of the most enjoyable cast of characters you'll see all year.

Final Grade: B+
