A
Cowgirl's Story (2016/Sony DVD)
Picture:
B Sound: C+ Extras: D Film: C+
Dusty
is a young girl and cowgirl who finds herself in a new town and new
school after both her parents have gone off to war. As she learns
how to make new friends and adjust to her school life, she starts a
girl's equestrian drill team to support their dreams and their family
members who serve overseas in A Cowgirl's Story (2016).
Dusty
lives in a town made up of families who have serve and still served
in the military. At first, she is an outsider, but she there are
other girls who are like her who have lost family members in the
military. Dusty creates that equestrian team to show spirit and
support to honor their families and to show the are proud military
daughters, but when her own family becomes MIA, Dusty own faith is
tested. The team must pull together to show they are all family and
no lost or sacrifice is vain when there is a higher cause.
This
was totally a chick flick about girls and their horses and being a
'good' military daughter as well. It is all about fitting in and
having having pride in families who serve in the military, that there
is nothing wrong with families who are forced to separate in the
service. In the end, regardless of lost family or not, faith in God
and the military will be rewarded. The cast of unknowns are good
enough here.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image looks better than expected,
but the lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is soft and inconsistent. There
are no extras.
