Mr. Ed and Francis the Talking Mule must be rolling over in their graves over this uneven comedy attempt. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

I loved Bobcat, but these horses can't act! I enjoyed this silly comedy anyway. It's got a lot of funny jokes, so I found it entertaining even thought the horses got on my nerves from time to time.
Tim S

Pure cheesy goodness. A childhood fave, as well. :)
Douglas W C

Watch this again and this just does not hold up as funny as it once was
Anthony V

A couple of funny moments, but nothing exceptional.
