“Apple Of My Eye” (**1/2 out of four) was a good-natured kids story about a young girl (AJ Michalka) who is traumatically injured after a horse-riding accident and receives a new miniature horse named Apple to be her companion and surrogate eyes and is then trained by a former horse trainer (Burt Reynolds) who becomes her mentor. Story about determination, survival, and the bond between owners and animals aimed squarely at kids who should like this a lot. Passable for adults with a nice role for 80-year old Reynolds and also Amy Smart as the girl’s mom.
