Ride On has its heart in the right place, but it occasionally stumbles in execution. The premise is intriguing: a washed-up stuntman and his horse become viral stars.

Show more >> Ride On has its heart in the right place, but it occasionally stumbles in execution. The premise is intriguing: a washed-up stuntman and his horse become viral stars. However, while the film has its funny moments, it often feels like it’s trying too hard to tug at the heartstrings. The performances are decent, especially the chemistry between the lead and his horse, which is undeniably charming. Yet, the film falls into predictable patterns, and some scenes drag on longer than necessary. It’s a feel-good flick for sure, but it may not leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something light and uplifting, you might enjoy Ride On, but don't expect it to break new ground. Show less
