  My Dog Skip is a very good family drama. The film is quite simple, but manages to be very good. The cast do a fine job here, and lead actor Frankie Muniz is very good compared to his other film roles. This is a well acted film, one that is sure to appeal to the entire family. This film has charm, a well written story and a good dose of comedy into its drama, which makes it a memorable film. The film is nothing new, but it works well enough to be fun, dramatic, sad and entertaining. What makes this film worth watching is the performances of its cast, and the witty script which make the film much better even with a not so brand new plot. This is the type of film we've seen many times before, however it still manages in being a must see film due to a good script. This is also a well directed film, and it's one terrific film that is sure to please anyone of all ages. This is among the best family films in the last fifteen years, and it has something for everyone. The film is a must see if you're looking for the perfect family film, and it has everything you'd expect from a good family oriented drama comedy. The film is not perfect, but it still has enough going for it to make it worth watching. With a good cast, a good story and good directing, My Dog Skip is a wonderful film. This is one of those rare family films that is actually something that anyone of any age groups will surely enjoy. The film is not cheesy and is always fun, dramatic and sad.

  This true story has been re-created for one reason only, to touch the hearts of all ages and to feel sympathy for a boy and his dog as he faces the challenges that every boy his age faces. This film is brilliantly acted, well casted, good-hearted, family-friendly, funny, and will have you in tears by the time the credits role. This film touched me in ways that many movies have been incapable of touching me in. There may be a few scenes that seem a little undeveloped and rushed, but that is not enough to stop this film from being what it is: amazing! I feel some charcters (particularly the bullies) are a little too quirky for such a heart-felt story, but this film knows what it is trying to accomplish, and does it with ease. It will make you think twice about life, and just how precious every living thing in life truly is. Fantastic Film!

  Very touching and emotional to the max. Full review later.

  One of the best dog films that I ever saw.

  This movie wasn't for me. I'm not saying that it's bad, but I had to force myself to finish watching it. Boring, boring, boring. I'm a Mississippi boy and I love dogs, but the level of sappiness in My Dog Skip nearly overwhelmed me. I'm clearly not a part of… More
  This movie wasn't for me. I'm not saying that it's bad, but I had to force myself to finish watching it. Boring, boring, boring. I'm a Mississippi boy and I love dogs, but the level of sappiness in My Dog Skip nearly overwhelmed me. I'm clearly not a part of its target audience.

  "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. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. Wow, I remember loving the movie, but that old review of mine back when I was barely old enough to drink makes me want to see this again to see how it holds up!

  Very well done movie, but I will never see it again, way to freaking depressing.

• Lafe F

  
  This was a beautiful movie about a boy and his dog. Really touching. I cried at the end. I love that dog!

  Sap sap sap sap sap sap sap. You know Frankie Muniz has led a sad career when stuff like this is its apex.

  So sweet.

  It's kind of odd seeing Kevin Bacon as the stern '40s father the very morning after I watched him force a woman to shoot-up while her husband watches in horror. Man, can I talk about a family film without comparing something to a mature theme in an R-rated movie? Well, at least it's less messed-up than when I told my mother about what the family probably could have found in the cage after they removed that oxygen-constricting wrapping paper. Ah, dead dog jokes, keeping the awkward conversation industry alive for many years. Seriously though, "My Dog Skip", though cheesy, sentimental and periodically slow, is entertaining, well-writting, well-paced, tear-jerking and ultimatley, a heartwarming family classic.

  I remember not liking it that much when I first saw it at 15 years old in a drive in theatre. I gave it another chance at 23, and I still don't care for it.
