Based on Mary O'Hara's classic coming-of-age novel, MY FRIEND FLICKA, this 2006 drama follows Katy (Alison Lohman), a rebellious Wyoming teen, as she contends with her parents (country singer Tim McGraw and lauded actress Maria Bello) and struggles to tame the willful and wild horse of the title. When her frustrated father opts to sells the rambunctious Flicka (whose Swedish name roughly translates as "beautiful girl"), Katy must take drastic action for the sake of both herself and her equine companion.
Initially filmed in the 1940s under its original name, the story switches the lead character from a boy to a girl, allowing the always-compelling Lohman to add depth to her restless character. Previously known for the edgy drama A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD, director Michael Mayer skillfully corrals the story through beautiful Western scenery (familiar to fans of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) and breathtaking horse-riding sequences, but the real highlights of FLICKA are the performances of Lohman and Bello, who play off energetically against the stoic McGraw. With its old-fashioned, straightforward cinematic storytelling and topnotch cast, FLICKA breaks to the front of the family-film herd, and stands out as one of the finest horse-themed movies of the early 21st century.
Theatrical Release: October 20, 2006

one of the year's best Flicka is one of the most uplifting and powerful movies of 2006. Emotional but really fantastic. The best horse movie i've seen in a long time. Submitted by samuel (annapolis) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.
This is why Tim McGraw shouldn't quit singing. Alison Lohman and Maria Bello were solid actors in this movie but Tim McGraw's portrayal of the dad was downright hard to watch. The film plot in itself was not that bad, though it had been done previously in the movie "Dreamer," and with better results. Kids would probably still enjoy this movie, however don't look for Steven Spielberg or Clint Eastwood to be seeking out McGraw for their next blockbuster. I'd have to say this was a one time only shot for Faith Hill's husband. Submitted by J.A. (Fort Mill, SC) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.

My wife and daughter cried all the way through! We all went to see Flicka at the cinema in Universal Studios, Orlando, and my wife(38) and daughter(13) both said that it was the best feelgood girly horse movie they had seen in a long time. Anyone into horses will find something endearing in this movie. The box of Kleenex was almost empty by the end of the film, and I've already been told that this is must for buying when it becomes available on DVD.
