Review of Fresh Horses (1988) by Nik B — 16 May 2009
This movie was totally not about horses. I am disappointed. Believe me or not, I only sat through this movie for the uncredited Greg Dulli cameo. The stars of the movie are well known enough. Andrew McCarthy plays the only character he was ever allowed to.
The ernest, but conflicted, boy with good intentions. Molly Ringwald shows her limitations as the backwoods half wit manipulator. Not good performances. Neither were the support cast, but it was still fun seeing Ben Stiller and Viggo from 20 years ago.
Also of note, the hottest girl in this flick, Molly Hagen, a.k.a. "Sensitivity" from the classic FOX series, "Herman's Head". But even her in a bikini couldn't save the mediocre drama.
Why anyone decided that the stage play was deserving of adaptation is beyond me.
