Profile of Snow Dogs

The mood of Snow Dogs is feel good and humorous. The plot centers around pets, going against the odds, and contests and competitions. It is a comedy, adventure, and family movie. Snow Dogs takes place, at least partly, in a small town. The setting is Alaska. It happens in contemporary times. Visually, Snow Dogs involves puppetry. It is based on a book. It is especially suggested for kids and a family outing.

Summary of Snow Dogs

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.

Small children will be amused by the frenetic antics of Cuba Gooding Jr. Grownups, however, will be far less enchanted. Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Snow Dogs never comes close to transcending its own inherent silliness, but Coburn, Gooding, and a genial tone help make the movie harmless tomfoolery the whole family can tolerate. Full Review

Snow Dogs

Snow has always held a fascination for me and ever since I watched the wonderfully choreographed and an amazing visual journey, Below Eight, I started scouting for movies shot in snow and I came across Snow Dogs. Even though it had a poor rating, I... Read and rate it
