i remember bits and pieces. i also remember seeing part of wish upon a star, the part where they're (switched) and in the bathroom at school and alex in hayleys body says ' are you going to ruin my virginity too?' and then hayley in alex's body says o we all thought you had sex and stuff. i thought this was soooooooooo weird because when i saw this part i didn't know that they were switched. weird. then another day i watched the whole thing

OMG, yes.. I remember that movie! I love it, plus I'm a huge Lucas Black fan (he was here on my college campus a few years ago because parts of Killer Diller was filmed here). I actually have Flash recorded on tape because I'm a dork who couldn't stop watching it. I just recently watched it again, showing it to a younger cousin who is obsessed with horses!!

Yeah they used to play it on the Disney channel's double movie features years back. I used to like Flash because it was so down and depressing, and unrealistic for that matter.

The boy's dad gets a job as a merchant mariner and his grandma has to take care of them, somehow they run out of money and his granny has to get that *beep* sweatshop job at the textile plant and the work was so hard on her fragile, elderly frame that she DIES FROM IT. HOW SAD IS THAT NOW!!!

The poor kid already sold his horse for grocery money, then they end up losing the house and everything. It is perplexing that they had no other family or close friends to turn to when all this *beep* started to go down. And why couldn't they get in touch with the dad? The movie was set in the 1990s yet they make it seem like his father joined England's East India Company circa 1728.

That kid rides his horse on highways and cities and crap until he gets to the dock where his father just arrived, but he has to go through so much *beep* along the way, what the *beep* was up with this damn movie? It was tripped out with all that negativity. Almost too serious for a Disney channel movie.
