Movie Reviews of My Dog Skip (Keepcase)
Movie Review: One of my all time favorite movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the very best movies I have ever watched. I thought the entire cast was wonderful. The story is true, based on the life of a an only child, a boy, whose first dog helped him to grow. It's really funny at times, laugh out loud funny. I like the adult characters as well, especially Kevin Bacon as the dad, and Luke Wilson who plays Dink Jenkins the 'Golden Boy" who went to war and came back feeling defeated. I think the scene between Bacon and Wilson is very touching. Frankie Muniz is simply adorable, and he was so believable. Can't leave out Diane Lane, she is such a pretty woman, and I really enjoyed her character as well. She seemed to be somewhat different than most of the women in that time period. Story of love, friendship, family, and loss. I have recently bought the book to read as well. Advisable to have a box of tissue on hand, I wept a great deal the last 20-30 minutes of this movie. Though I always loved my dog, after watching this, I had a whole new appreciation of that very special relationship. To me this is one of those movies you have to watch from time to time...the message never gets old.
Summary of My Dog Skip (Keepcase)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 07/11/2006 Run time: 95 minutes Rating: PgThis boy-and-his-dog movie, a nonpareil family film, is, as one of the characters so aptly puts it, "a heartbreak waiting to happen." Frankie Muniz, winning over audiences in the TV series Malcolm in the Middle, has competition in My Dog Skip--Skip himself (adorably played by a total of six Jack Russell terriers). Muniz, an inveterate charmer, stars as Willie Morris (from whose memoir the film is adapted), a gawky, awkward boy growing up during World War?II under an overly protective father (Kevin Bacon). When his mom (Diane Lane) gives him Skip on his 9th birthday, his life is changed in every way for the better. Previously disinterested peers become pals, and he experiences puppy love with a girl named Rivers (Caitlin Wachs). There are plenty of high jinks and rah-rah touches of Americana, and the film also attempts to deal with sophisticated emotions--Willie's boyhood hero turns out to be less than heroic--but its devastating emotional core comes, simply and obviously, with Skip's eventual aging and demise. Dog lovers will be wiped out; those who don't care for canines shouldn't even be bothering to read this review. (Ages 8 and older) --David Kronke
