USCCB A-I Movie Pick
Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story
Warm and winning family film set in rural Kentucky about a dispirited racehorse trainer (Kurt Russell), his young daughter (Dakota Fanning) and estranged father (Kris Kristofferson), who nurse an injured Seabiscuit-like thoroughbred back to form and in the process mend their own broken relationships. Written and directed by John Gatins, the movie is a handsome and unapologetically sentimental old-fashioned crowd-pleaser, with tender performances by Fanning and Russell and heartfelt themes of family, the healing power of love and the importance of holding on to one's dreams.
A-I -- general patronage. (PG) 2005

USCCB A-II Movie Pick
Ever After
Medieval romance from the Cinderella story of a young Frenchwoman (Drew Barrymore) whose wicked stepmother (Anjelica Huston) has raised her as little more than a servant until her wit, beauty and intelligence win the heart of the bemused crown prince (Dougray Scott), though many complications intervene before the traditional happy ending. Directed by Andy Tennant, the 16th-century setting and costumes provide a fairy tale atmosphere for proceedings built around a spunky, self-sufficient heroine who takes the lead in the action, with often amusing and, at times, heartwarming results.
A-II -- adults and adolescents. (PG-13) 1998
