Once in a while you will see a beautiful film that will touch your heart and make you laugh, cry and smile all in one sitting. "Moondance Alexander" is such a film. I had the honor of seeing this movie during a film festival, along with my children, and all of us absolutely loved it. The actors in the movie were brilliantly chosen for their roles--Kay Panabaker, Don Johnson, James Best, and the Olympic medalist Sasha Cohen, and was directed by an incredibly talented husband-and-wife team of Michael and Janeen Damian! This movie reminds us of so many important things in life-- how we all want to feel accepted by others, and how hard it is to miss someone that you love so much, but it is also has moments that will make you laugh and cheer! My six-year-old daughter loved this too..she is now asking for a horse named Checkers! :) We are excitedly waiting for the dvd release so we can watch it over and over. I wish this had had been in theaters across the nation so more people could see it on the big-screen, but now it will be available to see in everyone's living rooms to reach an even bigger audience. This is a definite "must-see" and a very memorable and beautiful movie for the whole family's dvd library. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: Beautifully acted and directed; memorable; suitable for all ages
