Amazing Racer
By: Renee Riendeau / Movie Revelations
Are you aware that a Sun City Anthem
resident used to work in Hollywood as a
director/ producer? Frank Johnson has a first
rate movie currently streaming on television.
Amazing Racer is a great family show, clean, wholesome, no
foul language, nothing inappropriate and geared toward horse lovers.
Frank read the script, loved the story, and contacted Hollywood agents
to cast the movie.
His choices: Julianne Michelle, a 16 year old lead, Claire Forlani, as
her mother, Daryl Hannah as the doctor, Louis Gossett Jr. as the horse
trainer, Jason Gedrick as the mother’s boyfriend, and Eric Roberts as
the villain.
This is a heart-warming tale of family connections that starts out
with the teenager, Shannon in the hospital. She is recovering from a
deadly car accident, but her father was killed..
Shannon is devastated as her beloved father raised her. She thinks
she’s an orphan now as she was always told her mother died in
childbirth.
As she’s recovering, an uncle and her doctor tell her that her mother is
still alive and is a doctor working at a hospital. Her mother was shocked
as she was always told that her daughter had died in childbirth.
The two of them struggle with their relationship, but mother begs her
to stay with her for the summer, giving them a chance to get to know
each other. Her mother raises racehorses and Shannon starts visiting the
stables with her and soon falls in love with a filly she names, Rainbow.
I won’t tell you the rest of the plot. Instead I only urge everyone - from
grandparents to their grandchildren to watch this wonderful movie.
As a reporter (along with other Vegas Voice columnists) we get to
work with Frank and marvel at the professional experience he brings
to SCA-TV in his role as General Manager. His credentials speak for
themselves, a member of the Directors Guild of America and the
American Society of Cinematographers.
This delightful film has themes of forgiveness and perseverance yet
touching and emotional. I give “Amazing Racer” a movie score of 5
out of 5.
