Features two irresistible lead characters -- and you can't always say that about a movie.

So riddled with live-action Disney movie clichés that I kept waiting for Cruella de Ville to show up and threaten to skin the dog alive.

Great boy-and-dog tale, but be prepared for tears.

Flaws and all, this is superior family entertainment in the tradition of quality that co-producer Mark Johnson has long championed.

In its own quiet, poignant, character-driven way, it's a movie for almost anyone of any age who's hungry for a beguiling 95 minutes.

Not a mawkish dying-dog tearjerker, "My Dog Skip" carries a touch of Mark Twain, with quasi-dangerous tall tales and awareness of a gap between childhood and boyhood. Plus, as it's said of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there's cussin' in it.

Flawless period re-creation.

My Dog Skip probes the concaves of memory to tell an honest tale and produce what is easily one of the best films for the entire family.

Taps into just enough of that connection between humans and dogs to make even jaded cat-lovers a little moist in the eyes.
