age 7+Inspired by a true story, this family adventure features an all-star cast, including Don Johnson, Olympic-skating silver medalist Sasha Cohen, Lori Loughlin and Kay Panabaker. Life is a rough ride for awkward, friendless, 15-year-old Moondance (Panabaker). But when a Pinto pony named Checkers leaps into her life, Moondance pursues a dream she never knew she had. Convinced that Checkers has champion potential, she enters him in the Bow Valley Classic, and in the process learns only perseverance lands you in the winner's circle. Directed by Michael Damian, and featuring an irresistible soundtrack, Moondance Alexander is an uplifting story the whole family will enjoy.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this film is generally family-friendly. There's no violence, sex, or profanity. One brief scene shows a leading character drinking a shot of whiskey when he is upset; in a follow-up scene, he throws the bottle away. The father of Moondance, the young teen protagonist, has died three years before the story takes place. Moondance visits his grave to "speak with" him, sharing her sorrows and her joys as she must have when he was alive. She also finds solace in a cherished old photograph and other mementos. Her mother takes a few tentative steps toward building a relationship with a suitor and discusses it frankly with her daughter.
