Summary: To Stephen Verhaeren
Review: "How can you say you like this movie when you give it 1 star?"

It's REAL simple! We would like to see ALL of the movie! We don't want the sides cut off! We ACTUALLY understand how movies should be presented! Our IQs are higher than our shoe size! UNDERSTAND? Pull yourself into the new millennium and demand quality from these studios.......

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disney should know better
Review: As an animal lover I found this movie to be a massive disappointment. The plot has a Miami dentist and dog hater (Cuba Gooding Jr) inheriting his late adoptive mothers sled dog team and moves to Alaska. This is just an excuse for lots of clumsy slapstick a la Cuba's LIGHTNING JACK. The dogs are amusing, but poor old Cuba is wasted. STAR TREK's Nichelle Nichols also co-stars, as does the late James Coburn, who also deserves a better script. Kids may enjoy this, but adults are advised to steer clear. For movies with cute talking animals, you'll never be able to beat BABE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: snow dogs sound track
Review: The movie was pretty funny, but also misleading about the talking dogs....SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SOUND TRACK, I have never seen a movies without the sound track either being released before the movie or after. For what ever strange reason, there is no sound track for this movie. Anybody know why or maybe knows when it might be released. better still....who to contact would be nice

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie for the whole family!
Review: When I first saw "Snow Dogs", I expected a silly movie about dogs, which was okay since my kids love dogs. What we ended up watching was a film that our whole family loved! As parents, we loved that there was humor with no violence, profanity, or nudity. My kids loved watching the funny episodes with the dogs. This is a movie that I can feel comfortable letting young kids watch without having to edit it. Bravo for Disney for entertaining and keeping it clean!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Light, Funny, Family Comedy.
Review: Cuba Gooding Jr. Stars as Dr Ted Brooks, and Nichelle Nichols, stars as his adoring cookie-baking widowed mother. From the previews of this film I had assumed this movie was about dogs who could talk (ala Babe). I'm sorry to say, its not. The dogs only talk in one (particularly funny) dream sequence.

When Miami dentist Ted Brooks learns, that he is adopted, he is summoned to the distant North for the reading of his will. In Alaska, Ted learns some surprising facts about his TRUE parentage. Ted's mother was a sled dog racer, had a mysterious lover, and owns a beautiful piece of property in Alaska, and a horde of aggressive sled dogs. As Ted tries to explore the past, he becomes sucked into his birth-mother's world, and develops a romantic interest in lovely bartender/innkeeper Barb (Joana Basco).

I thought this movie was a light funny comedy, with some good acting by Cuba Gooding, James Coburn, and Nichelle Nichols. The scenery was beautiful, and cgi special effects were great.

What I didn't like about the film is it enforced the idea that "rural live is good, city life is bad," and "city people are incompetent materialistic morons" (which is a stereotype that has been done to death in recent films). There was also an unfunny slapstick scene where Ted was trapped on the ice, and fell in, that raised the hair on the back of my neck. ( Young Children might get the wrong idea about how to act in a similar situation from viewing this film).

Overall though, a fun movie, the family will probably enjoy this one if they don't intend to take it to seriously. Cuba and Nichelle stole the show.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another Live-Action failure by Disney.
Review: Disney, is a Film Legend for churning out these well-done, masterpiece cartoons, but Disney is also a legend of churning out Live-action, family garbage.

Snow Dogs, was a film everyone saw before. Time travel back, and you will see about a hand-full of movies disney, and other companies spawned out, that the story is so similar, they even decided to cast "Thunder Jack" (I don't blame them, this is James' calling card in the film biz by taking on roles that revolve around his "Santa-Claus, Old man in the snow" Image). As far as cuba goes, this propelled his acting career, by putting him with very few before him, to be nomminated 2 times for worst actor of the year (razzi's), snow dogs being one, rat race the other.

As a source of Family entertainment, there are much much better choices than this. As a source of punishing your kid who has been bad, buy this, put this in the dvd player, lock the doors, and make your kids watch over and over

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good movie, No WIDESCREEN
Review: I like this movie, but when is Disney going to release the widescreen version. This is the age of DVD. I won't buy this movie until there is a widescreen DVD version.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Completely charmed
Review: I was completely charmed by this movie. It manages to stay light and funny while touching on such weighty topics as adoption, interracial relations, falling in love and learning to trust. I've watched it more than once since buying it.

P.S. There are no children in my house!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No widescreen
Review: There is no widescreen version of this film. ...When disney decides to release this in 1.85 anamorphic widescreen I will buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snow Dogs goes to Heaven
Review: Our family absoutely loved this movie. We did not stop laughing through the whole movie. My daughter who is 10 loved it. It's a great family show and I have to say that I was surprised that it was rated pg. I didn't think it was bad at all. Great Family film.
