My Thoughts 

Cowgirls n' Angels 2 is a uplifting family film people of all ages and walks of life will enjoy. First, I want to mention that I haven't seen the first movie in this series, but I was still able to follow along with no issues. This movie definitely stands of it's own. Dakota learns she's adopted and it sends her world into a downward spiral. She throws herself into her horses and winning the competitions. She tries to forget about everything else, but the past has a way of sneaking up on you no matter how much you try to avoid it.

With the help of the people who love her, Dakota learns that real family doesn't really have anything to do with your blood.  This beautiful coming of age story is well written and perfectly cast. The beautiful horses are a great addition to a heart warming tale. My whole family enjoyed watching this film together and I plan on going back to look for the original.

This sounds like a movie to see with a moral behind it. A great family film. I like it when there is emotion in the show and you can compare it to real life. Thanks for the review. I am not one to keep up on movies.
