Rating: B- -- Worst of all, the Jack Russell playing Skip is allowed to mug à la Frasier's Eddie instead of behaving like an actual canine. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- They may find themselves mystified and a little bored by a movie designed to leave their adult companions misty-eyed.
New York Times

Many will find their tender emotion buttons bruised from the constant battering of the filmmakers' oversized pointers.

...The sweet thing about MY DOG SKIP is the way it understands the friendship between a kid and a dog...

...MY DOG SKIP is a glowing slice of nostalgia...

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Not a mawkish dying-dog tearjerker, "My Dog Skip" carries a touch of Mark Twain, with quasi-dangerous tall tales and awareness of a gap between childhood and boyhood. Plus, as it's said of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there's cussin' in it. Full Review

Product Description:

A heartwarming coming-of-age tale set in 1940s Yazoo, Mississippi. Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz) is an introverted eight-year-old whose best friend is Dink Jenkins (Luke Wilson), a high school football star. Willie's mother convinces his stern father to buy Willie a puppy for his ninth birthday, in light of the fact that Dink has left Yazoo to fight in the war. Immediately, Willie's world brightens. When he stumbles upon a team of evil bootleggers and welcomes home a despondent Dink, he must learn a very valuable lesson about life. Based on Morris' memoir, MY DOG SKIP should have even the most hardened viewer reaching for the tissues.
