Item description for Snow Dogs by Various...
Overview
Make no bones about it - Disney's SNOW DOGS is a hilarious action-packed comedy your whole family will love. Eight adorable but mischievous dogs get the best of dog hater Ted Brooks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) when he leaves his successful Miami Beach dental practice for the wilds of Alaska to claim his inheritance - seven Siberian huskies and a border collie - and discover his roots. As Ted's life goes to the dogs, he rises to the occasion and vows to learn to mush with his inheritance. Totally out of his element, he faces challenges he's never dreamed of. There's a blizzard, thin ice, an intimidating crusty old mountain man named Thunder Jack (James Coburn), the Arctic Challenge Sled Dog Race that's only two weeks away, and a life-and-death rescue. This fish-out-of water, tail-wagging comedy is nothing but doggone good fun and a celebration of family - both human and canine! |

Reviews - What do customers think about Snow Dogs?
 | inter-racial humor with dogs and dentists Feb 5, 2008 |
I enjoyed much of the humor in the story: the city-slicker out of his element in Alaska, and the dog-hater whose mother leaves him her sled-dog team. But I found it irritating that there was inter-racial humor which would not be accepted if a white person presented it the other way around - a dentist raised by white people who finds out he has a black ancestor, or who is raised in a white community and goes back to his - possibly - New Orleans Haitian roots, to inherit (what?) maybe a place as an ethnic clothing designer, and some rhode island red, voodoo-blessed roosters.
What reviewers skip is that Ted is the illigitimate son of a black mother and a white father, which is Thunder Jack. So she gave him up for adoption. This tension is played off and there is a gradual father-son reunion, as Thunder rescues Ted one time, and Ted returns the favor when Thunder goes missing in the big race. Naturally, there is a bad snow storm. Naturally no one else has a desire to brave it to find the musher. Naturally, foster-mom arrives to bid a tearful, worried farewell to her son who goes off to get Thunder.
The dogs are good characters in their own right, and the animatronics worked seamlessly, making "Demon" really seem like he was plotting against Ted with human intellect.
The movie was going well until the cliff-falling-off scene. That was so contrived it spoiled the credibility of the story. I snapped out of the movie and could not get reabsorbed again. The dogs could never have hauled 2 grown men up a cliff with the sled and gear. Deos Ex Machina (act of God) was a bad choice by the script writer.
It had a nice family reunion at the finish, and Ted gets his girl, the lovely eskimo-Indian girl, who runs the local pub. All in all, a nice story. There was no obvious sexual content, and no gore, no cussing, and no nudity - hooray!! | | |  | Great movie! Sep 18, 2007 |
| I first saw Cuba Gooding Jr. in 'Men of Honor' and thought him to be a great actor...very feeling and empathatic. He only proves to be a very versatile and talented actor in this movie, quite different than 'End Game' and movie previously mentioned. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone wanting to be entertained versus educated....not a bad thing. I have watched it over and over at least a half-dozen times and I still enjoy it. Oh, did I mention I watch it with my Siberian Husky...Shiloh? Very good movie, great transaction and timely delivery. | | |  | Funny but inaccurate Sep 2, 2007 |
| We don't have skunks here in Alaska. Cuba is a natural comedian. Silly movie. Great for kids. | | | | This film hits all it's marks. Jun 30, 2007 |
| Almost as interesting and entertaining as the film was reading the reviews. There are a lot of people making social judgements about the characters and I think they miss the whole point of the film. Disney set out to make a funny movie about a Miami dentist. It could have been a plumber from Omaha but a dentist is good too. They added enough detail to give the characters a little depth. Reviewers complain about the depth. Funny. The movie is about a man that is transported to an enviroment completly different for the comfort that he enjoyed in Miami. He learns and copes well and the funny parts mix well with the more dramatic parts. Disney has another winner. I agree with some reviewers that adults will probably enjoy it more than young kids. | | | | Fun Movie May 13, 2007 |
| This movie was purchased so my grandkids would have a good movie to watch when they come to my house. Turns out that it is such a good movie and funny movie that I enjoy it as much or more than they do. | | | Write your own review about Snow Dogs
