Featured reviews
I love Cuba Gooding and I thought he was perfect for this part. I don't have anymore to say than I really (!!!) enjoyed this movie. It had enough chuckles in it and even the slow parts didn't bother me. I would love more "cute" movies such as this one!
Cuba Gooding Jr. is a dentist who finds out, that he is adopted and his real mother lived in Alaska. He did not like dogs, but had to learn to like them when the mother left it in the will. The dogs are used for mushing the snow shield in a race. Will he learn to live in Alaska or back home to Miami? It is worth to see the dogs in this movie.
SNOW DOGS reminded me of the old family Disney films of the 1970s (you know, the ones where Dean Jones was in most of them?). The movie was completely predictable, but that didn't make it any less fun for me. I've never read the book it was based off of, but as for the movie itself, my wife and I greatly enjoyed seeing it. We could use more family films where the main purpose in going to see it is to be entertained and nothing more.
This is a good, fun movie. Its light and chirpy and what more, its got a whole bunch of dogs.
Its got lots of pretty scenary and decent acting.
Worth a watch. You'll love it if you love dogs.

Very entertaining story of a Miami dentist who travels to Alaska when notified of biological mother's death. He finds love, a father and ownership of a pack of head strong sled dogs. I would define as an entertaining, several laugh comedy, worth adding to your viewing list.
