Review of Saving Flora (2019) by Debie — 26 Apr 2021

This is an enjoyable movie that is perfect for the whole family to watch. Yes, it's not going to win any awards but the acting is decent and the story was uplifting and entertaining. Jenna Ortega plays the adorable, and spunky, Dawn, the 14-year-old daughter of a circus owner.

Dawn is determined to rescue her elephant friend Flora from being euthanized now that the elephant is too old and arthritic to perform. Flora and Dawn have quite an adventure on their 300-mile journey to an elephant preserve.

As Dawn's worried father is searching for them, the pair have an eventful trek making new friends, running from (some cheesy) hunters, and dealing with nature, all while teaching us about love, trust, and not giving up on what you believe in.

Great for family movie night IMHO.
