Summary: Excellent and sweet movie.
Comment: This movie is very refreshing with its focus on the friendship between a young boy and his newly discovered pet, none other than a waterhorse of Celtic lore. The tenderness between the two is touching and people of all ages will enjoy it. The movie is very well done. And appropriate for all ages.

Summary: Charming and more inspirational than I expected
Comment: I have always been mildly interested in the Loch Ness monster-it makes for a good story, as this movie proves as an old man relates to young tourists the "truth" of the creature in the lake and transports back to WWII and a family who had lost their father and husband to battle.
It's a classic scenario: lonely boy raises animal. Usually it's a dog or a deer, but hey, what's wrong with a mythological creature? While this is not quite "Babe" level, it is still reminiscent of that same innocence and charm. Crusoe, as the creature is called, is the cutest little monster to grace the screen in some time. The kids are cute and hold their own in the child acting. I enjoyed the romantic tension between the adults, and I appreciated the contrast of the innocent magic and the terrible reality of the war.
I also found it well-shot. Not Oscar-worthy, but there is something captivating about a swim through the Scottish lake This is a great little family film that has a bit of something for everyone.

Summary: Pleasant enough
Comment: WATER HORSE is a pleasant enough, beautifully filmed family story, although the music and scenery can be a bit frightening for younger children. The story is fairly formulaic for adults, but our children really enjoyed it--especially the interaction between the dog and the sea horse.
It is nice that it is not full of sexual innuendo, crass "humor" related to bodily functions, and injuries to the "personal" areas of the anatomy. Most "family" films are anything but family friendly, so WATER HORSE is a nice exception.
From a conservative Christian standpoint, be warned that the children hide the sea horse and deceive their mother--without negative consequences. A parent will want to direct the thinking of younger children in this area, but the kids otherwise exhibit respect for adults and as the protagonists, present a generally wholesome appearance and attitude.
