Not a mawkish dying-dog tearjerker, "My Dog Skip" carries a touch of Mark Twain, with quasi-dangerous tall tales and awareness of a gap between childhood and boyhood. Plus, as it's said of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there's cussin' in it.

A heart-affecting boy-with-a-dog drama.

So riddled with live-action Disney movie clichés that I kept waiting for Cruella de Ville to show up and threaten to skin the dog alive.

Great boy-and-dog tale, but be prepared for tears.

Taps into just enough of that connection between humans and dogs to make even jaded cat-lovers a little moist in the eyes.

My Dog Skip probes the concaves of memory to tell an honest tale and produce what is easily one of the best films for the entire family.

Flawless period re-creation.

In its own quiet, poignant, character-driven way, it's a movie for almost anyone of any age who's hungry for a beguiling 95 minutes.
