Buffalo Dreams (2005)

As a buffalo enthusiast, I was really excited when I saw the movie title when I was browsing for movies to watch. And it certainly did fulfill my buffalo dreams. I had such personal interest in this film that I decided to audition my own buffalo for roles in other low-budget western films. Sadly, they did not make the cut, but I am not bitter. In my opinion, these magnificent creatures were beautifully portrayed. As someone who owns several buffalo (including one domesticated buffalo), I found that the song "Lean On Me" does not help at all for herding purposes. Despite that disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and encourage other buffalo enthusiasts to have a look at this excellent film. Two hooves up!

Though this film wasn't my favorite, it was above average. I am not a fan of Disney Channel movies because most of them are predictable and about the exact same thing. My favorite DCOM's are the Halloweentown Trilogy, Read it and Weep, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off, and Rip Girls. This film doesn't really get on my favorites because(no offense) it was kind of boring.I liked the idea and the plot but I didn't get into it that much and it just wasn't really my cup of tea. It was a good try though. The originality was definitely there.This movie could have been better but it was still a bit entertaining. A decent watch.

This movie in my opinion had potential but, went off in mixing Navajo culture with buffalo. as a Navajo myself i found it a bit offensive that they did not even any of our traditional values. they just mixed what they about us with the movie. the plot has some work to do but like i said earlier it had potential. the cast did a fine job and Mr. Green did his best in the pronunciation of the Navajo words. after awhile the cast started getting a bit corny but near the end they pulled themselves together. but there is one thing that i liked about this and that is the distant relation the two main characters have at first because of their culture. I just wish that the producers had spent a little more time in the research of the Navajo.

Buffalo Dreams was so much better than I thought it would be! I thought this movie would be a wild west movie but it was pretty cool. The main character Josh is a BMX rider and Thomas is a worker. Thomas, Scout, his little sister, and Moon must teach Josh how to respect the Navajo traditions. Thomas, who is Navajo, doesn't like his culture, while Moon, who isn't Navajo, wishes he could be. Scout can't talk, but she finally does in the end so she can save her brother from a terrible death. This movie shows how two different people can help each other in weird ways. People develop a lifetime of friendship in weird ways! Things happen in mysterious ways.
