From Amazon.co.uk

My Dog Skip, 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 ninth 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 ageing 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, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Best weepie ever 8 July 2006
Format:VHS Tape
What a film. I came across it one Saturday afternoon, it was raining outside and i was bored. Satellite didn't have much to see on it but the info. on this film said " a real family film and a big weepie" being a sucker for this sort of film i watched it. It was so easy to watch, the life of William Morris as he grew up in the 1940s. A child who could not make friends easily who had a bitter father. A sad sort of life that needed a large void to be filled in it. Along came Skip, what more can i say except that i have now seen the film 8 times and i cry just as much as i did the first time. Beautiful is how to describe this film, no smut, no dirt just beautiful a must for everyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Tear-jerker of the century 22 Jun 2006
Format:DVD
I have not cried so much in a film before, perhaps maybe in Philadelphia. At the end I was thinking to myself, if he says '...in my heart' I'm gonna cry...and he did. It touches you on a personal level if you've ever felt lonely or known what it's like to lose someone or something and we all have so everyone can relate to this film. It's really not one to be missed. I first saw this on Channel 5 as a Sunday afternoon movie and I ended up running to the bathroom at the end and I didn't come out for about an hour, I couldn't stop crying. Really, a fantastic film.
