I gave it three stars because of Joe Piscopo, and because I can think of movies that are a lot worse. Best of all, when one horse is supposed to be encouraging the other, he's doing the equine equivalent of flipping the bird! Park your brain at the door, but do pause and talk about things from time to time with your kids. Most of the time, they're asking, "Are you gonna give me that treat, or what?" The little horse tries to dominate the big horse in many of the scenes. Oh well, we have a lot of fun with interpreting what the horses are really saying. Why would the mom not think to look for her daughter in her horse's barn? Why would a girl run off without her horse (DUH - teen girls and horses, ya know - LOL!)? Most disturbing - why would a movie show a little girl chatting with and exchanging insults with two men who have just invited her into their car? She wouldn't have gotten away with that in real life. By far he was the best actor - everyone else was either wooden, too stage-y, or couldn't deliver their lines with appropriate intonation or emotion. Joe Piscopo delivered a fairly good performance, although "Zike" was a shade too contrived. This film is not great and I have seen better but for the money (£1 in Woolworths) it is OK though I would not view it more than once. But one good point is that the film teaches them that they should not talk to strangers or get in a stranger's car. I think it will appeal more to little kids. Yes the horses are cute and the stunts preformed were OK and the scenery was nice but nothing could save this film from the lack of professionalism. There were a few good scenes such as when a fire breaks out but it is fairly easy to lose interest and the film gets boring towards the end because we all know what is going to happen. The story is very simple - two girls are kidnapped by two very stupid kidnappers (the kind you would see in Beethoven 3, only more stupid because they can't even add 1+11) and the kid's ponies (Two Bits and Pepper) decide to rescue their owners and bring the kidnappers to justice. The kidnappers do not speak with any emotion and sounded like they just wanted to get on with it and the girls, I think were the only ones that acted well. This film does have a lot of flaws and unfortunately they are noticeable. The ponies do speak (Homeward Bound style) but have very irritating voices that I felt were unemotional and past caring. The story is very simple - two girls are kidnapped by two very stupid kidnappers (the kind you would see in Beethoven 3, only more stupid because they can't even add 1+11!) and the kid's ponies (Two Bits and Pepper) decide to rescue their owners and bring the kidnappers to justice. Adults will most likely find this film predictable and irritating but little kids are bound to enjoy it. Sometimes I'll add some minced garlic to the peppers and onions, but it tastes just as good without it.Two Bits and Pepper is definitely not the best horse film I have seen and it does have a lot of faults. I've learned that when I cook my potatoes in a separate skillet they cook more evenly and stay nice and crispy when they're added to the other ingredients right before serving. I used to make it in one, but something always came out wrong. Add the cooked potatoes and kielbasa to the skillet with the onions and peppers and mix everything together. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.ģ. Add the peppers and onions to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the kielbasa from the pan and set it aside. In a separate skillet, brown the sliced kielbasa for around 5 minutes in 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, around 8-10 minutes, stirring a few times to ensure even browning.Ģ. Add the potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy-bottomed skillet (I like to use my cast iron), heat 2tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. However, to appease him and his beef-driven mind, I told him I'd buy beef next time.ġ. He started protesting the fact that I was using turkey sausage instead of beef, but I assured him that it was the kind I've always bought and that we, as a family, have all always liked it just fine. Well, there was this one night that my husband saw that the package on the counter said turkey. I started buying the turkey kielbasa and smoked sausage (as opposed to pork or beef) a couple of years ago when I decided to try to start eating and cooking a little healthier post-baby. With just four main ingredients, it is a no frills kind of recipe that is perfect for busy weeknights or those nights when Momma just don't feel like cookin'. Whenever I see the turkey kielbasa go on sale, I stock up so I can make this for the fam. This is a down home, simple, inexpensive, delicious meal that I love to make.
