Metacritic reviews

It was the adult in me that wept when the movie ended. Take the kid and have a good time.

A film that parents can confidently and with pleasure take their little ones to see - but which is not quite a good movie.

As subtle as a cinder block crashing on your head.

Somehow the elements do not add up to by anything especially memorable.

There are times when watching this film is like a near-death experience.

This is a movie for younger children -- they won't notice that the children deliver their lines with all the conviction of an airline flight boarding announcement.

This Dog won't hunt. Although well crafted and handsomely mounted, pic lacks sufficient sizzle.

Limp direction, laughable production values, accent-heaving acting and dialogue and more lumps than three-day-old oatmeal.

If you've been longing to see the worst family entertainment of 1966, A Dog of Flanders may be the movie for you.

What a disaster -- a dog.
