Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
Snow Dogs isn't subtle, to say the least, but it's a serviceable city-slicker-in-the-frozen-sticks comedy for kids and undemanding adults.

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
I never thought I'd see a slapstick animal action movie about the beauty of interracial relationships and nonmarital sex, but that's what this is, and kids seem to love it. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineFrank Lovece
Formulaic but not entirely predictable, it's like old-school Disney, but without Tim Conway. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
Cuba Gooding Jr. lands on his behind more often than a one-legged figure skater, and the preschooler next to me giggled every time. Read full review

A throwaway movie, but that doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, if you have a soft spot for man's best friend, it's a pretty good throwaway movie. Read full review

Like shave ice without the topping, this cinematic snow cone is as innocuous as it is flavorless. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Snow Dogs never comes close to transcending its own inherent silliness, but Coburn, Gooding, and a genial tone help make the movie harmless tomfoolery the whole family can tolerate. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
The movie's gentle and friendly, but nowhere close to exciting. It would be hard to believe that anyone involved with this production --considers Snow Dogs anything more than phoned-in business as usual. Read full review

Small children will be amused by the frenetic antics of Cuba Gooding Jr. Grownups, however, will be far less enchanted. Read full review
