Synopsis
Director Brian Levant (BEETHOVEN) goes to the dogs again in Disney's SNOW DOGS. Cuba Gooding, Jr. stars as Ted Brooks, a successful Miami dentist who finds out that he was adopted, and has to travel to Alaska for the reading of his birth mother's will. There, he meets the small community of crazies that were his mother's friends. Barb (Joanna Bacalso), a beautiful bar owner, is the most welcoming. Ted learns that he has inherited his mother's property, including her team of rambunctious sled dogs. A crusty old-timer, Thunder Jack (James Coburn), tries to buy the dogs, but Ted decides he will learn how to race a dogsled, and enter the Arctic Challenge, a local race. Handling the mischievous pooches, particularly the "alpha" dog, Demon, turns out to be much harder than expected. Levant keeps the action moving at a swift pace, particularly during Ted's hilariously disastrous first run with the dogs. Gooding clowns like a pro, and Coburn is wonderful as the grizzled dogsled veteran. Kids will fall in love with all the dogs, who are given animated facial expressions. Nichelle Nichols (of STAR TREK fame) plays Ted's mom, and pop star Sisqo plays his best friend back in Miami.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very funny movie!, 17 Nov 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Snow Dogs [DVD] [2002] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
When Ted Brooks (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.), a happy and successful dentist in sunny Miami, finds out that he is adopted, and his birth mother has just died, he flies off to her home in Alaska to learn what he can about his background. Arriving in the tiny backwoods town of Tolketna, Ted finds life at it's rawest (and coldest). It turns out that his mother was a sled dog racer, and about the only thing she left behind was a pack of mischievous sled dogs.

Rising to the occasion, Ted sets out to learn how to be a musher, somewhat aided (and somewhat hindered) by the grizzled old backwoodsman Thunder Jack (James Coburn). Braving the tricks of his own dogs, the barbs of the locals, thin ice, bears, skunks, and a host of other obstacles, Ted learns about himself, and about Thunder Jack. [Color, released in 2002, with a running time of 1 hour, 39 minutes.]

This is a very funny movie. I must admit that my kids asked for this movie, and I really had no intention of watching it. But, just being around, I found myself [pulled] into the story, and soon I was sitting with my kids laughing as loud as either of them! As for extras on the DVD, it amounted to a snowmobile game, some deleted and extended scenes, and three featurettes on the making of the movie.

OK, we weren't thrilled with the extras, but we were thrilled with the movie. It is great, and makes the purchase of the DVD well worth it. We highly recommend this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Go on, see it!, 23 Nov 2002
I saw this under duress, well, I was trapped under a sleeping baby but I actually really enjoyed this. Its a fun, family film that has you rooting for Cuba Gooding Jnrs character and gives you a warm and fuzzy at the same time. A perfect sunday afternoon-in-with-the-kids movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snow Dogs, 12 Jan 2003
I thought that this movie was absolutely fantastic and i thought that Cuba Gooding Jnr did the film justice. The special effects that were used to make the dogs talk was magnificent. My favourite part of the movie was when Cuba Gooding Jnr goes into the house and is practically held hostage by the dogs ( as they do not trust him).

The Border Collie that was used in the movie was the cutest dog i have ever seen and if there was a special animal award then i think that the collie would be favourite.

This film will help fill a rainy Sunday afternoon for young families. It'll make you smile, but not laugh out loud as others have suggested.
