Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boy's BEST FRIEND
Review: This is not a "kiddy movie"! This is a movie for everyone. It captures the heart and feel of an era gone by and the growing up of a boy and his "one true" friend......his dog. Although the film has some fill ( bootleggers could have been left out entirely ), the story, the growing up together and the "ENDING" will more than capture your heartstrings.......PLEASE BRING 2 HANDKERCHIEFS and be prepared to stay until the credits are over ...... you'll be too tearied eyed to leave. TRUST ME -----> SEE THIS FILM AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET OUT. Bring your dog!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A heartfelt film about growing up, struggling, and much more
Review: "My Dog Skip" is the heartfelt story about a 9-year-old only-child named Willie (Frankie Muniz), and his pet dog, Skip. Before getting Skip for a pet, Willie is shy, lonely, and he's struggling in other ways such as being picked on by bullies. What Willie needs most at this point in his life is a friend. And Skip will turn out to be much more than just a normal friend.

"My Dog Skip" is one of the best movies I've seen in awhile without a doubt. Not only is it a story of a boy and his dog, it's a story about coming of age, friendship, how many of us grow up then want to be a kid again, and much much more.

Usually, I'm not all that crazy about a movie being overloaded with subplots, but "My Dog Skip" is an exception. There are many subplots such as Frankie's idol going into World War II, Frankie being picked on by bullies and struggling with baseball, and more.

While the target audience of "My Dog Skip" is probably more geared toward kids, I really liked the movie a lot. I'm only 21, so my childhood hasn't been over for that long, but I can honestly say that "My Dog Skip" made me feel like a kid again while I was watching it, and that's about the best thing it could've done. Also, I'm not an only-child, but my parents got a divorce when I wasn't but eight, and I didn't have any siblings to struggle through the divorce alongside me, so I can relate a lot to what Frankie was going through both before and after he met his best friend named Skip.

If you have any kids (especially only-childs or divorce-stricken ones), or if you're a kid at heart, do them or yourself a favor and purchase "My Dog Skip." Not only is it one of the best family movies to come along in awhile, it's one of the best movies in any genre that you could purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Story!!
Review: As old as I am, this story brought a tear to my eye because it brought me back to the time when I was given a small dog like Skip at the age of nine. In fact, my dog's name was also skip. He became my best friend and to this day,I will always remember the joy and fun he gave me growing up as a small boy..If you're a dog lover like I am, you must watch this story! The story is great and the music is excellent!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Annoying
Review: Frankie Muniz plays an annoying little boy who gets a dog. If he really loved his dog he should'nt let Skip go to war. They have moonshiners but present them as bad people, but moonshiners are what helped bring freedom to those who wanted a drink. The best part is when the moonshiners hurt skip, but the one idiot threatens the moonshiner.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Silly plot, but family fun
Review: This is definitely a family movie, or at least a movie for dog lovers, of which yours truly is one. I have to admit I don't like Muniz; he's totally over-acting in every role he's graced, this one especially. Luke Wilson's character is so forgettable, I don't know why he's in the movie. Kevin Bacon is totally not believable as a stern father. Diane Lane (the reason I picked up the movie) gives a good performance, but seems too old next to Bacon. (Sorry, Diane!) And seriously, she's too sexy to be a southern housewife.

The plot, like someone mentioned before, is rather conventionally and forced. There isn't really a nice central story. The ending is pretty much predictable.

What made me enjoy the movie, inevitably, is the dog character Skip (short for Skipper). The terrier is just so adorable! The credit screen says two dogs play the character, one puppy and the other adult. Both are just terrific animal actors. They have the ability to project a lot of dog personality, and the filmmakers did a great job capturing the best moments of these unforgettable dogs.
