Steven Rea

This is a sweet, gentle film - slow and sunny like a summer day, with a message that growing up can be hard, but can also serve as the wellspring of memories that will sustain you for a lifetime. Read full review

Peter Stack

Though its sentiment may be lost on the very young, the movie is strictly two-hanky fare. Read full review

Roger Ebert

A movie like this falls outside ordinary critical language. Is it good or bad? Is there too much melodrama? I don't have any idea. It triggered too many thoughts of my own for me to have much attention left over for footnotes. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

It's gently funny, modestly scary in spots, full of valuable but low-key observations about life. Read full review

TNT RoughCut Bill McLochlin

I wasn't the only one crying in the theatre. Not by a long shot. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Certainly there are people who will welcome this kind of "wholesome" family entertainment, but it feels false. Read full review

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.… Expand

My Dog Skip won't be enjoyable for those dog haters (Ok, how many people in the exact dang world hates dogs? In my guess, 0 because I never met one), but it will be enjoyable for dog lovers all the way!

While the story wasn't particularly original, the movie was quite predictable and the acting was only decent, it was still entertaining enough to watch. If you like heartwarming movies about dogs you'll probably appreciate this one.
