I really wanted to like Ride On but its syrupy, sentimentalism, left me feeling queasy.

I've seen a lot of Asian films and series and my guess is this would play very well, with Asian audiences. This Western reviewer however, found it inaccessible. Too schmaltzy, sugary sentimental, for me to digest.

The film plays to Jackie Chan's strengths. His martial arts and stunt skills, are front and centre. His relationship with his best friend the horse, is a clever innovation too.

In summary, not for me but if you like things extra sweet, this is certainly not a film you should go past.
