by JediKermit  in Movies,  - Top 100, Jun 22 '01
Pros: Acting was good for the most part, nice doggie...nostalgic without too much cheese
Cons: Not that different from other "feel-good" nostalgia
I've never seen "Old Yeller." There, I said it. The most famous Boy and His Dog tearjerker ever made, and I haven't seen it. I probably should. Haven't seen any of the Lassie movies or the TV Show, either. In fact, the only dog anything I've ever...

Pros: great story about boy-dog bond
Cons: a little violence and some swearing
It's 1942, and Willie Morris is an awkward eight-year-old whose only friend is local sports hero D. Jenkins (they won't let me write his first name; it is considered "objectionable"). When Jenkins heads off to fight in World War II, Willie...

by MARIEROY - Top 500, Aug 21 '00
Pros: Excellent family movie that will capture every heart.
Cons: A bittersweet, but inevitable ending. Brings tissues! Plenty of them!
WARNING: Do not watch this movie if you’re already feeling a little sad, a little down, a little lonely, or have abandonment issues!
I wish someone had told me that last night before I rented MY DOG SKIP. I wanted to watch basically a...

Pros: Great Acting, Wonderful Story, Very Touching
Cons: Kinda Sad
I was looking for a comedy; but I settled for My Dog Skip. I heard it was cute, and I love Frankie Muniz, and dogs, so it seemed like a good enough choice.
I was right. My Dog Skip (based on a true story) takes place in...

by Grouch - Top 200, Oct 09 '00
Pros: A well-made, sentimental film that defies current cynicism trends at the box office
Cons: It's standard boy-and-his-dog stuff and some parts stretch the Believeability Factor pretty thin
Stories about a boy and his dog are as comforting as an old rawhide chew toy. They’re also about as common as fleas.
Still, there’s just something about little boys’ chins and pink slobbery tongues that naturally go together. Every boy wants...

Pros: One of the best family films made recently
Cons: May be too intense for younger viewers
The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's.

I can still remember my first dog. He was a bassett hound named Barney and he was the best friend a boy could have had. He had these...

by Granniemose , Sep 01 '00
Pros: Good family fare with a lovable animal
Cons: not many
This is a film for all ages, and its star is what, in my youth, was known as a rat terrier. Almost everyone I know has had a version of Skip in his life, or if not, he/she has missed an important part of growing up.
The boy who got a dog was...

Pros: beautiful story, engaging characters, a Lassie story for modern times
Cons: life in wartime “America” is portrayed in a squeaky-clean way
Make sure you have some handkerchiefs or tissues handy when you watch this one....
This is a beautiful family movie, and the star of the show is a spunky terrier named Skip. It is presented as being a true story -- based upon the book by (and...

Pros: Wonderful, coming of age story
Cons: It was too short
Let me start off by saying how hard it is these days to find a good quality family movie. I found it.
My Dog Skip has got to be, hands down, one of the finest movies I have seen in a very long while.
This is a movie so well...

Pros: Excellent all around
Cons: Bring kleenex
At first, it was all laughs hearing the cute kids say "daWWWWg" for the millionth time, wondering when the blond kid with the mouth full of chewing tobacco was going to wipe his damn lip off, enjoying Kevin Bacon with an adorable drawl...

Pros: Skip and young Frankie Muniz
Cons: none
No one who sees this movie can leave the theater without love this dog. What a sweet memory from William Morris. I know he's called Willie in the movie, but when I met him at a writer's conference, he was a distinguished older man. The editor of...

by BigBob51 , Jan 20 '00
Pros: Lovingly evocative story of a boy and his dog in a bygone era
Cons: Action/special effects fans, steer clear
"My Dog Skip" is a simple boy and his dog story set in 1942, lovingly filmed with a lush musical score in author Willie Morris' home state of Mississippi. Director Jay Russell uses "name" actors such as Kevin Bacon and Diane Lane...

Pros: Family oriented
Cons: Not original enough
I don't know who decides which movies qualify to be put in the genre for children, but whoever is doing it must not have kids. There are certain things you expect from a movie that you find in the children's section. You don't want your child being...

Pros: Sweet, nostalgic, funny
Cons: Sad conclusion, mild profanity
Remember the first dog you ever had? The one that was your most trusted friend and confidant,the one who stuck by you when you felt that no one else understood? I remember mine well, and "My Dog Skip" took me back to that time. It is a...
