“Hope Ranch” (**1/2 out of four) was an earnest inspirational Christian drama about a devoted mother (Marisa Brown) and her daughter (Grace Van Dien) who find themselves penniless and struggling when the patriarch (John Schneider) of the family dies and they have to restore their faith in God to help them stay afloat and to keep the girl’s horse (fittingly named Faith) and keep their ranch from foreclosure. Unabashedly corny story has expected themes about faith and Christianity that are hammered home at times but film does end up capturing you, thanks to nice scenes with the horse and gorgeous photography from Sea Mutarevic on beautiful Colorado locations. Young girls especially will find this rewarding.
