DVD Reviews of Snow Dogs [Region 2]

DVD Review: Great movie about dogs!
Summary: 5 Stars

Snow dogs is about a man who gets to live where his mom used to live in Alaska. There he meets dogs who were Lucy's (his mom) snow dogs when she participated in the dog sled race. It's a very good storyline. I especially enjoyed watching this movie. If you like watching dog movies like Air Bud, I totally recommend this to you!

DVD Review: It's time to get ready for Mush Hour!,
Summary: 5 Stars

I discovered this extremely funny movie in the local video rental store when it was only available on video cassette. Then, after renting it 3 times, I almost rented it a 4th time, but, after I told the check-out gal that this was my 4th time renting it, she asked me, "Well, do you want to buy it?" and I said "Sure!" Then, when it came out on DVD, I bought a previously-viewed copy of it from the same video rental store. I love Snow Dogs for lots of reasons: the cast, which includes Cuba Gooding, Jr., the late James Coburn, Joanna Bacalso, Nichelle Nichols, Brian Doyle-Murray (brother of Bill Murray), etc., the plot, in which dentist Ted Brooks (Gooding, Jr.), who hates dogs, finds out that he's adopted, he travels from his home, in Miami, Florida, to Tolketna, Alaska for the reading of the last will & testament of his birth mother, a sled-dog racer, who's just passed away and left him her team of sled dogs, plus her border collie, Nana. But, Ted faces challenges like a crusty, old mountain man named Thunder Jack (Coburn)who wants the sled dogs for the Arctic Challenge sled-dog race, which is similar to the Iditarod. So, Ted trains himself to be a musher. I also like the names of the sled dogs like Yodel, Sniff, Demon, etc., the dialogue especially when Barb (Bacalso) & Ted are on a mountain & she tells him, "Maybe you need to finish what you started.", because that's a phrase that I live by, and the funny parts, like when Ted's teaching himself how to ride a dog-sled. This movie is hilarious, and I recommend it to anyone who likes Cuba Gooding, Jr., comedy movies, or any kind of movies, in general, because, believe me, this movie is GREAT!

DVD Review: what a service and the quality was awesome...
Summary: 5 Stars

I am proud to own this movie--I still enjoy it everytime....I had friends living in Alaska....

DVD Review: Cute Family Fun
Summary: 4 Stars

The lighter side of Cuba Gooding Jr. is played to perfection in this little family gem. Nowhere near a great movie, but extremely entertaining, especially if you have little ones around. A successful African-American dentist(Gooding), finds out he was adopted, and leaves Miami to collect an inheritance after the death of his birth mother in small town Alaska; a shack and a pack of sled dogs. He also meets and falls in love with Barb, played by the stunningly beautiful Joanna Bacalso who show's him the ropes of sledding. That's when much of the laughter begins.

Fine supporting cast, including a very grumpy James Coburn in one of his last screen performances, and Nichelle Nichols of TV's Star Trek, playing Cuba's adopted mom; still gorgeous beyond her years. And no, the dogs don't talk throughout the film, only during one dream sequence. A fact that disappointed many viewers. A real family film to get everyone together over.

DVD Review: funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars

cuba gooding at his best, He just cracks me up in the whole movie, Love the animals also, If you want something to laugh at and ya like dogs too this is a must see cute, funny movie I can watch again and again!!

Description of Snow Dogs [Region 2]

Snow Dogs is not a fantasy about talking dogs--it's a heartwarming story about personal growth starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and a sled team of Siberian huskies. When Dr. Ted Brooks, a successful, sun-loving dentist from Miami, receives a summons to the minuscule town of Tolketna, Alaska, his mother is forced to confess that he was adopted. Teddy's desire to quickly return to Miami yields to a burgeoning curiosity about his deceased mother and biological father. Teddy's experiences in Alaska acquaint him firsthand with the wonders of sled dogs, the sport of mushing, human sacrifice, and love. The city slicker's hilarious attempts to mush even culminate in a hero's reception at the finish of the prestigious "Arctic Challenge." Snow Dogs is 99 minutes of breathtaking vistas, amusing comedy, and entertainment suited for the entire family. Rated PG due to the occasional outhouse joke and other mild crude humor. --Tami Horiuchi
