Summary: One of the Funniest Films of the Year!
Review: This movie is so funny. It has this dentist called "Rupert' that always seems to bother Theodore Brooks in a way that causes laughs from the whole family. For example, the time when Theodore's mother was talking to Theodore about how it was up in Alaska, Rupert got on the other line and started to ask Teddy about when he was coming home, and this was very annoying to Teddy and his mom. But, the funniest parts of this fabulous film were when Theodore Brooks encountered the cute Alaskan Malamute dog called "Demon" in the barn. Demon kept growling and showing his teeth at Theodore, and finally, after a short minute, Demon chased Teddy and bit him in the rear causing him to scream and yell. This movie is really action-packed and fun for the entire family! If anyone wants to see a movie that is hilarious, action-packed, and cute, then one would highly reccomend them watching this film! What a great movie!

Summary: It May be Cold, But It's Really Cool
Review: When Disney gets it right, they get it really right. Such is the case with "Snow Dogs," a funny movie with a truly all-star cast that keeps the spirit of the Disney of old while giving us modern entertainment.Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays dentist Ted Brooks. Ted is more than just a dentist; he has a huge practice in sunny Miami, apparently quite wealthy, a true man of the city, until a summons arrives one day informing him that his mother has died. One small detail, his mother, Nichelle Nichols of the original "Star Trek" series and movies fame, had neglected to tell Ted that she was his adoptive mother. Ted's biological mother lived in the wide-spot-in-the-valley of Tolketna, Alaska. Isolated does not describe Tolketna, which appears to be reached only by helicopter or airplane, and even those must be small. Ted's mother turns out to have been a very nice lady, with a penchant for sled dog racing. Lucky Ted, he not only inherits the bulk of his mother's possessions, he also inherits a team of potentially prize-winning sled dogs. If only Ted did not hate dogs. In the course of discovering that small-town life is infinitely more appealing than living shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbors, Ted also discovers a lot about himself and about life in general. He discovers his father and discovers true love in the cold and snow of mythical Tolketna. During this voyage of discovery we gain an appreciation for the beauty of the far north, lots of laughs, and several tense moments, including one where Ted Brooks and Thunder Jack Johnson (James Coburn) are hanging suspended over a cliff, hoping the sled dogs can pull them to safety. Superb family movies seem to be hard to come by these days. This movie is excellent and a family movie. The violence is minimal, the tense moments generally work out well, there are lessons regarding perseverance, and there are dogs that have more expressions than Mr. Spock. While I often caution parents that some portions of a movie may be a bit too tense for younger members of the family, that caution is unnecessary for this PG rated movie. Admittedly there are several moments of very mild violence, but those moments I found to be less than that in other family movies, such as "The Wizard of Oz." With the combination of scenery, a reasonably plausible plot, excellent cast, and frequent funny moments, this movie is a great movie for everyone. I recommend this movie highly.

Summary: Something to remember him by
Review: A James Coburn fan, I searched out this film mainly to see how the late,great actor did in this Disney tale about a Miami dentist who inherits a pack of sled dogs with minds of their own and a whole lot of pride and attitude. Coburn,who plays the young dentist`s long-lost father Thunder Jack,evidently enjoys playing this rough,tough,stubborn and mean ole mountain man who posesses as much pride and attitude as any sled dog-and I just loved watching this.The tiny town of Tolketna is the scene of many hilarious showdowns between Jack and Ted,and the folks in town are just wonderful-wonderful when their stick their noses into other people`s business and wonderful when they really truly care. I`ve had many a good laugh watching this movie,and it is truly moving to hear Coburn as Thunder Jack tell Demon,the lead dog,how they ought to give folks something to remember them by. Did he ever.Highly recommended!

Summary: Brings back wonderful memories of 23 years living in Alaska
Review: Although many of the scenes were more reminicent of Canada than Alaska, the movie was great in its rendition of the Alaskan Sourdough and Cheechako. Cuba Gooding is a great actor and he brought Ted Brooks, the dentist, to life in a spectacular way. I would recommend the movie for all ages.

Summary: great for kindergartners
Review: My 5 year old daughter cannot stop talking about this movie. I have never seen her so engrossed in a plotline: she laughed out loud every time Ted (Cuba) fell on the ice or when he was chased by Demon, the dog. She cheered, "Go Nana!" during the rescue. She gripped the armrest on the couch white-knuckled when the sled went over the cliff. She nows say that her favorite state is Alaska and wants to know when we can go there. Last night we had company, and she insisted on reenacting an entire scene from the movie for our friend. This is a GREAT kid movie, and the joy it brings your kid is entirely infectious. My daughter's crossing her fingers for a sequel and begging Santa for her own copy of this film.

Summary: Cute, and realistic at the same time
Review: I like this movie. Why? Well, I like Cuba Gooding Jr., and the fact that it deals with one of my /favorite/ dog breeds, the one I specialize in and /love/ - the Siberian Husky. It's not misleading or obnoxiously destroying to the breed like 101 Dalmations was -- it shows the /true/ nature of the Husky. They aren't fluffy, friendly, pretty little creatures. They're vengeful, grudge-holding, nit-picking, frivolous and bitter brats. ;) I have one husky of my own, and though I love her to death, it's pretty obvious that she was /not what I expected/. They run, they yank, they're so sneaky that they can break from the door at the slightest visible crack, they howl, they loud-mouth and complain and chatter. You have to have patience and dedication to love a husky. They are _incredibly_ territorial, and run the whole pecking order deal. If they don't like you, they show it! You gotta earn a husky's love, and I love how this movie shows it. Anyways, I'm babbling. ;) It's witty, cute as bloody 'ell and.. just plain amusing. It isn't based all on the canines either. It's great for any fans of doggy movies, and it gives an interesting perspective on sledding. I won't spoil the story line, but this is definitely a fun movie for kids, /and/ adults if you're an animal lover, or just a Disney-esque kind of person. Did I mention I /love/ Nana? :D

Summary: Full screen only .. what a dumb idea
Review: Might have been a good movie if they had published it in widescreen. When I buy or rent a DVD I want to see the whole movie not just the zoomed in pan and scan version. If I had known this was a pan and scan DVD I would have just watched it on HBO.

Summary: The Dogs don't really talk!!!!
Review: The commercial fooled me, the dogs don't really talk. There is one sceen where Cuba is having a dream, only in this dream do the dogs say something.
This movie is the worst comedy I have ever seen. The jokes are not funny at all, not even in a silly/funny way! If you want a good family movie with Cuba Gooding, then get the movie Rat Race instead, it is waaaaaay better than this [...].
