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.

Snow Dogs I thought could be nowhere near as bad as people have been said . I mean I've heard comments saying this turned out to be the downfall for Cuba, it's laughable, I actually expected to be pleasantly surprised, unfortunately I was dead wrong. There is not one laugh to be had in this movie, not one, in fact it looks pretty cheap production wise, and this is a Disney film!. As I've noted many times before, I think Cuba is an underrated talent and not a fluke like many people have said, but his choice in projects are peculiar. It doesn't help that the storyline itself wasn't very interesting, it just felt like an awkward type family film to be honest, even if the dogs were cute. It started off with great potential, I was enjoying the whole dentist in Miami storyline, but once it went into colder territory it started to become embarrassing. Cuba is better than this, he's better than the countless DTV film's he's putting out now a days, he just needs a good script again.Performances. Cuba Gooding Jr. tries hard, but his comical skills are not up to par and he's nowhere near enough to bring it back to respectability. James Coburn looks embarrassing, I assumed he did it for some cash. Sisqó's character is heavily grating. Joanna Bacalso is pretty to look at, but she isn't that great in her role.Bottom line. Yes. Snow Dogs is as bad as they say it is. Kids will be bored, adults shouldn't even go near this film and Cuba fans will just be shaking their heads at how far he's fallen. Avoid at all costs.2/10

This movie is supposedly based on Winterdance by Gary Paulsen. Forget the movie and read the book. This is one of my favourite books - I have read it several times and still get a lot of enjoyment from it. Everyone that I have recommended the book to have also enjoyed it.Why they had to change the book so radically is beyond me. The book has so much depth and character development that it would have made an excellent movie.The book, which is autobiographical, covers the same basic idea as the movie - the training of a dog team to run the Iditarod dog race in Alaska. We learn about the dogs personalities and also about how they interacted with Gary Paulsen.So once again forget the movie and read the book

This movie is most appreciated by certain groups of people. The first group is made up of the occupants of multiple big dog households. You will recognize your own behavior along with your dogs. The second group is made up of adoptive families. It's a wonderful movie to take an adopted child to. Cuba Gooding Jr. finds out he was adopted, and in the process, finds out how much his adoptive mother loves him, and learns that his biological parents loved him and each other and although they couldn't keep him, wanted more than anything to bring him into this world. This movie is also appreciated by people who are sick of naked people and dead dogs. Nobody gets naked, and none of the dogs die.
