Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Python Hyena My Dog Skip (2000): Dir: Jay Russell / Cast: Frankie Muniz, Kevin Bacon, Luke Wilson, Diane Lane, Clint Howard: Family film about how a pet can teach children values in life. It teaches friendship, responsibility and the unavoidable awareness of death. It isn't for young children due to adult issues. It regards a dog Skip given to a boy on his birthday. Kevin Bacon and Diane Lane play his parents. Bacon received a Purple Heart having lost his leg in the war. Luke Wilson is cast as a football player called off to war and the impact it has on him when he returns. Fine setup becomes disjointed with an ending that may be too depressing for its intended audience. Directed by Jay Russell as a homage to Old Yeller and that is not a compliment. He details the relationships to render realism. Frankie Muniz as Skip's owner with great enthusiasm and energy. Bacon plays off the insecurity resulting in a war injury. Lane plays his wife who brings Skip home without prior approval. Wilson realizes that despite failures that Muniz still believes in him. Clint Howard makes an appearance as one of the villains that enter in an unnecessary subplot. This turns out very much as expected with a stern message in tact. Well crafted film that doesn't always work but it conveys a strong message regarding life and important things we overlook. This film should not be one of them. Score: 6 ½ / 10

vlorinc96 Good family movie, but average. The story isn't original, but the actors are good. The protagonist is outstanding. Warner Bros. did a good family movie. The Story: World War II rages on in full swing, and this small American town, residents of Yazoo mood is scarred. Turn left to the enlisted men of the city. The eight-year-old Willie is not sad because of this. Difficult to fit into the community, are not you friends with the girls and did not understand the word. Ninth birthday, her mother get a dog: Skip. The new guy is good friends will change the rest of his life. Thanks to skip the other boys slowly accepts him to be a member of the school football team and the most beautiful daughter did not turn your back on him again.

niffstah This ranks among the worst movies that I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. I thought the movie Fluke was alright and I loved Old Yeller, so it's not that I'm against animal movies as a rule; but the combination of six things meant that I could not enjoy this movie. a) The script was the worst I've ever endured. Does every line have to be cliché? I threw up five times. b) The acting job ranged from mediocre at best to laughable at worst. c) The many subplots were boring and never went anywhere in addition to having little to no meaning. d) The characters were annoying and unsympathetic (aside from the dog). e) The soundtrack was terrible and extremely repetitive, not to mention unoriginal. f) Overall this movie stole from all other animal movies in every way, shape, and form.The only thing about this movie that made me sad was that I wasted my time watching it, and that my stomach hurt from throwing up too much. Also, it would have been more entertaining if something actually happened. Movies that only have morals like "Everyone needs a friend" or "dogs are cool!!!" are bad, as a general rule.In conclusion only watch this movie if a) the only other choice is some other kind of torture, and even then, be careful, b) because you LOVE DOGS SO MUCH and you cry at all dog movies because you own a dog and it might die or you did have a dog and it died, etc., or c) because you are in need of a laugh and don't mind the side effect of throwing up. But in most cases, just don't waste your time and save your eyes, ears, and stomach.

Amsomnia Studios My dog skip is not that old, but the feelings you get when you see this is older then your own live time, i mean the memory you begin to remember when seeing it. You remember what it was to be a child, what is was to be that small and fragile and lonely sometimes. But the most you remember is the losses and the gains that was taken with you in time. you learn things you missed, you remember things you haven't seen in many years, i have seen this movie so many times yet one tear or two always falls upon my face no matter what, and thats because i remember my childhood. This movie ain't for the people who cry at just anything because the tears will be falling more then you would imagine.The story of a boy and his dog, who teaches him how to grow old, well we all in some way will always could relate to that.I am sorry...But you gonna cry...
