Movie Reviews of My Dog Skip (Keepcase packaging)
Movie Review: Wonderful Story, Until...
Summary: 3 Stars
I know better than to watch movies about dogs, or animals in general. If it is a true story, or based on fact, the dog dies at the end. I cry enough over my own dogs. I don't need to subject myself to added pain. I never could stand to watch "Lassie" TV shows even though they had happy endings, just because the story line would stress me out too much.
I made the mistake of watching this movie not too long ago. It is a wonderful story based on fact. The first 45 minutes I would recommend to anyone for a pleasant, family movie. The ending I would not recommend to anyone who is especially sensitive, whether they be child or adult. I found the ending to be cruel compared to the rest of the story.
Yes, I know kids have been growing up for years and leaving childhood pets behind while they go off to school. Do I have to be subjected to it in a movie? I had a dog myself from age 10 to 27. She was 17 when I lost her and the longest I ever left her was 2 months. I think it is cruel to be tricked into the wrenching emotions of watching an aging dog be left behind by the boy who grew up. And we are told Willie gets a transatlantic phone call to tell him Skip died. Thanks. What a nice ending. Not.
This movie deserves 4-5 stars for being a well-made, quality movie. But I give three stars for my own personal reasons. I should have known better. Once and for all I am sworn off all animal movies and books.
Movie Review: ever since Lassie: a dog and his boy
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought the acting, script and costuming were all good,
it is just the subject has been played to death for over 50 years now.
I watched Lassie and Rin Tin Tin in the movies and on TV until
I just lost interest in another dog and boy after Old Yeller.
I guess I'm a cat kind of person:
they kind of come at go and you have to take them as they are.
You can't get them to do much in the way of tricks...
Movie Review: My Dog Skip
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a used video and it was said to be in good shape, but when I was watching it, it started to skip over the words right before the end of the movie the best part. I was disappointed.
