    Ulrich stars as Kevin Manley, a small-town travel agent who has just inherited a whole lot of money from his grandfather. But there's a catch, Kevin must complete a task. We're not talking an easy one like spending millions of dollars in a couple of days á la Richard Pryor in Bre...( read more)wster's Millions. We're talking dog race, the dog race, the Iditarod. Of course, there has to be a no-good-nick to wreak havoc on Kevin's quest, and since it's in Alaska, which is close to the northern reaches of Canada, who else could you cast but Leslie Neilson, He plays Clive Thornton, a grizzled old man who thinks Kevin's grandfather might have been hiding something. Kevin of the North initially looks like it might have some potential with the Snow Dogs set; youngsters and warm-hearted folk who like a good, wholesome animal movie. Well, the constant fart jokes, sexual content and racial stereotypes sure wreck that one. And there are no talking dogs here just mutts and mangy mongrels straight from the pound. Slapstick ensues and the race is on, with the city type trying to make it with the big boys.

    what a great movie! kinda reminded me of "Snow Dogs" with Cuba Gooding Jr. ... it's got the same principle behind it, a man inherits Alaskan land from a relative he never knew about, and then when he gets up there, has to run the Iditarod... but my guess is this was the one whic...( read more)h didn't sell very well, so they did a remake of it with Cuba & released it with a different name.

    This movie is so funny I have no idea why it isn't more popular. Skeet Ulrich does commedy so well! I can't help but laugh at his girly squeak!!! He can't seem to have a good day because each day he gets hurt!!! His team of dogs is quite the group too!!! Someone steals his profeshonal team so he goes to the pound and gets a bunch of mutts that are so funny together.
    It's really funny!!!
