Summary: I was part of the production on this film
Review: Filmed in Cincinnati during My senior year in High School I had acted and Modeled some. I landed a spot as a Stand-In for Doug Hutchinson and Ben Stiller. It has to be one of the Worst Films ever. Molly couldn't even keep her southern twang consistent in the shots. I must say though it was a pleasure to work with Ben Stiller and Doug Hutchinson (Percy from Green Mile) I still have a Cast and Crew Jacket that Ben signed and I was even able to have Molly sign it at the final Cast party during one of her kindler moods. Heck I even have pictures
Great scenerary if you are from the area.On a personal note Molly has her good moments although rare.
Andrew McCarthy was just.... well a jerk.
Ben was Great to me and so was most of the crew especially the Sound Master Hank Garfield and Sue Knutsen in Casting
From this I was able to work as a stand-in on Rainman and had several screen tests for other movies and TV shows.

Summary: Queen City special!
Review: I admit this movie was boring and the acting was mediocre at best. The story was also lame. But being a close resident to Cincinnati, I enjoyed all the places shot on location that Iv'e been to i.e. the serpentine wall,U.C. 2 stars for familiarity only because I live close to Cincy.

Summary: An unabashedly favorable review!
Review: I have been a fan of this movie for many years since its release. When I decided to purchase, I was surprised to see such negative reviews. Granted its not necessarily Oscar quality material. But, the cinematic backdrop is interesting and goes a long way to lend great atmosphere to the story. I think McCarthy and Ringwald do a good job with the acting. It's not hard to understand why Larkin (McCarthy) falls for Jewel (Ringwald ) right off the bat, Ringwald imbues her character with a palpable steamy sensuality in their first meeting. Mortensen (Green) is convincing as the low life "husband" of Jewel. It's also interesting to see an early role for Ben Stiller, especially if you are a fan. I can't agree that ... is wasted on this movie. In fact, I wish it were available in DVD format. The story ending has a heart-rending quality that has stayed with me through the years since I first viewed this movie.

Summary: Wow ... Tough Crowd!
Review: Thanks to the anonymity of this forum, I can freely admit that I like this movie (in fact, I have a tape of it somewhere). It's the basic story of a guy (McCarthy) who has everything going for him, but longs to take a walk on the wild side. Enter Molly Ringwald's character, a white-trash vixen that completely captivates him and turns his life upside down. Fine cinematography with an absolutely heart-wrenching ending. This flick and Less Than Zero are my two favorite Andrew McCarthy movies. Go easy on me.

Summary: What the ...
Review: This is perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. I saw it with my brother who loves Molly, and even he hated it. The movie doesn't make sense, the dialog is stilted and awkward, and it's pretty dull. The story seems like it would have been interesting, but it falls flat. It almost seems as if the director quit the production in the middle, and so they just stopped filming and spliced together what they had. If you absolutely must see it, rent it. I beg you, save your money! Life is short - don't waste it on this movie.

Summary: FRESH HORSES is a Stale Turkey.
Review: This is, perhaps, the most unintelligible picture I have everseen. The story is dull and uneventful, but that doesn't make it anyeasier to understand. Andrew McCarthy is Matt, a wealthy college student betrothed to a pristine debutante. When his friend (Ben Stiller) invites him out visit a wild new friend (Patti D'Arbanville), he meets a mysterious girl named Jewel (Molly Ringwald). From the outset, Matt is smitten and Jewel is unimpressed. Days later, Matt drops his fiancee and confesses his love to Jewel. While her interest is waning, Jewel is overwhelmed by his affections and the two begin a passionate affair. Then, Matt discovers Jewel is married, underage and in an abusive relationship. He is in over his head and he briefly begins to alienate himself from Jewel. They reunite quickly, but, shortly thereafter, Matt discovers a devasting revelation: Jewel may have been raped by a handful of men while her husband looked on. Now, there seems to be little hope for either of them to find happiness. Contrary to popular belief, Molly Ringwald is first-rate in an unexpected role change. In one particularly magnetic scene, Ringwald as Jewel reveals she began smoking as an infant, when her twisted parents held cigarettes to her mouth to watch her inhale. It is Jewel's riveting vulnerability that makes the scene unforgettable. Andrew McCarthy, however, is entirely unlikable as the spoiled Matt, and we never understand his character's obsession for Jewel, nor do we understand his compulsive need to correct her improper speech. The reason this film misfires in so many ways is that the script is wildly incoherent. Because the relationship isn't motivated by sexual desire, there is no potential for suspense a la "The Postman Always Rings Twice." We never truly understand WHY any character does what he or she does, and the film drifts lifelessly, leaving little hope for viewer satisfaction. While Molly Ringwald may have faded from the limelight, it was commendable for her to seek out different roles than she portrayed in her very successful alliance with John Hughes. Two of those roles were in excellent pictures: "The Pick-up Artist" and "King Lear." The rest were just awful. "For Keeps?," "Betsy's Wedding," "Strike It Rich?" For these flops she turned down parts in "Pretty Woman" and "Ghost!" FRESH HORSES is relatively inoffensive, but, at best, it is only occasionally satisfying for die-hard Ringwald fans like myself.

Summary: Can I Please Give It NO STARS?!
Review: Yes, it's true... "Fresh Horses" is the all-time worst movie ever made. By that, I mean of all the movies that had good production values this is the worst. It obviously had some good actors (they're in there somewhere, though hard to see) and a competent crew. A big studio was behind it (but I'm sure the guy who okayed this film is now working in retail). "Fresh Horses" is just a mess of a movie. It's been about ten years since I walked out of the theater after an hour of torture, but I vividly remember the following: There is no story, nothing visually interesting, no complete sentences uttered by any of the actors, nobody ever smiles in it, Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald have absolutely no chemistry, I don't think they were speaking English, and I'm pretty sure that McCarthy was replaced halfway through the production by the caterer's assistant. What's really sad is that you can't even watch it to make fun of it. So it's not a good bad movie. It's just plain boring. Horrifyingly boring. Murderously boring. But you have to give the film some credit... It pretty much killed the careers of Ringwald and McCarthy. So, for that alone, the one star is deserved!
