Summary: Good family film but not true to the Newbery winning book!!!
Review: Although the film is not true to the book, it is still a wonderful family film. I recommend that you read the book before watching this video. We all loved the book and were surprised with the changes made in the film, especially the ending.
The book was great as written and feel that the changes made in the film detracted from the story.

If you are looking for a good family film and have not read the book you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Shiloh without a soul
Review: As I watched this movie, I felt like somebody explained the plot to the film producers, but they never read the book. The movie is missing everything that made the book special: the sense of ruralness and poverty (it looks like middle class or higher), the childhood innocence, and most important, the insights into human nature. I don't want to spoil it, but the lesson learned in the movie is unrelated to the lesson in the book, and possibly contradictory. If you love the book, the movie will disappoint you. Having said that, my 7-year-old enjoyed both. Adults may not enjoy it so much. I was sad that they wasted such a good book.

Summary: FINALLY a movie that addresses the issue of animal cruelty!
Review: I absolutely adored the "Shiloh" series of books, and was a little skeptical about watching this movie. However, the movie remained quite true to the book, and completely captured the message of the book as well. The acting is exceptional. I disagree with the previous reviewer's statement about letting young children watch this movie. I have a 2 and 1/2 year old boy, and he was having a problem with hitting our dog. I showed this movie to him, and though I'm sure most of it went over his head, he understood that hitting dogs is bad, and that dogs need love. He's been great with the dog ever since. Sounds simple, but it's a powerful message, and one that needs to be taught to the youngest of children. Animal cruelty among children in this country is at a shocking all-time high, and compassion needs to be stressed at a very early age. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, any age.

Summary: This is a dog-lover's story - I love beagles!
Review: The movie is good and kept the class of 3rd graders attention and interest. However, we were all disappointed with the movie not following the book...characters, some storyline, and ending is so very different. The book was an Newberry Award winning book - wish Hollywood would not have made the changes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Shiloh without a soul
Review: This film is as good as family entertainment gets. Not since Where the Red Fern Grows has their been a film that touches on the hard choices children face when dealing with the realities of pet ownership. It's an amazing film! One that will offer parents a chance to talk about with their children.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: GRRRREAT ACTING BY JUDD.
Review: This is a great movie. It is not as good as the book but the acting by Judd is great. Judd is one of the most loveable and unforgettable characters. Don't get me wrong I don't abuse dogs but I LOVE Judd.
