My Dog Skip
This film explores the story of a shy boy who grew up in Mississippi in the 1940s with the help of his exceptionally cohabiting dog. Ultimately, it seems that the dog's love will reveal unusual things as the boy learns incredibly lifelong lessons.

My Dog Skip probes the concaves of memory to tell an honest tale and produce what is easily one of the best films for the entire family.

Flaws and all, this is superior family entertainment in the tradition of quality that co-producer Mark Johnson has long championed.

So riddled with live-action Disney movie clichés that I kept waiting for Cruella de Ville to show up and threaten to skin the dog alive.

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.

Great boy-and-dog tale, but be prepared for tears.

In its own quiet, poignant, character-driven way, it's a movie for almost anyone of any age who's hungry for a beguiling 95 minutes.

Features two irresistible lead characters -- and you can't always say that about a movie.

Flawless period re-creation.

It's worth the trip for kids and grown-ups, because they'll find a quietly moving and powerful story...

Taps into just enough of that connection between humans and dogs to make even jaded cat-lovers a little moist in the eyes.

...a gem of a movie for children and adults, despite its clichés.
