Editorial Review:
This boy-and-his-dog movie, a nonpareil family film, is, as one of the characters so aptly puts it, "a heartbreak waiting to happen." Frankie Muniz, winning over audiences in the TV series Malcolm in the Middle, has competition in My Dog Skip--Skip himself (adorably played by a total of six Jack Russell terriers). Muniz, an inveterate charmer, stars as Willie Morris (from whose memoir the film is adapted), a gawky, awkward boy growing up during World War II under an overly protective father (Kevin Bacon). When his mom (Diane Lane) gives him Skip on his 9th birthday, his life is changed in every way for the better. Previously disinterested peers become pals, and he experiences puppy love with a girl named Rivers (Caitlin Wachs). There are plenty of high jinks and rah-rah touches of Americana, and the film also attempts to deal with sophisticated emotions--Willie's boyhood hero turns out to be less than heroic--but its devastating emotional core comes, simply and obviously, with Skip's eventual aging and demise. Dog lovers will be wiped out; those who don't care for canines shouldn't even be bothering to read this review. (Ages 8 and older) --David Kronke

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of my favorites
This little known movie is so awesome if you are a dog lover and it may bring you to tears as we know that dogs have a much shorter life span than us humans (10-15yrs for most dog breeds). It is a heart warming story that may remind you of your childhood and your first dog as a kid. Kevin Bacon and Frankie Muniz are great as Father and son and the dog is pure joy and as mischevious as any puppy or child.
Rating: - Good movie for all ages
This is my son's favorite movie of all time. He is 13. I bought it for him for Christmas this year and it was pretty hard to tell wether he liked this better or the laptop he got, lol. It really is a good movie that is suitable for all ages.
Rating:  - Very Good
A very good heartwarming movie. It's about real life so it does pull on the heart strings a little but worth your time to watch
Rating: - Forget the kleenex box, go for the triple TP roll
Watch this if you need a really good hard hour-long cry. Sometimes you just do. This film delivers at the end and it's a lovely film that leads up to it.
Rating:  - WHO IS RATING THIS 5 Stars?? "SKIP" this movie
Very strange storyline and abrupt pointless ending..AVOID this if you have dog loving kids aged 10 or less.
