Movie Review

Movie Title: My Dog Skip. Rated PG. Dog movie. It's a drama with some funny moments. I saw it with a nine-year-old girl and we both really liked it. However, and I don't mean to be a movie spoiler, but the little girl I saw it with was sad when the dog died in the end. (A deer also dies in the movie.) Some parents need to know this because some kids just don't like seeing movies where dogs and other cute animals die. The movie takes place in Mississippi during the 1940's. A lonely boy gets a small dog for his birthday over the objections of his stern father. He names the dog Skip. Skip gives the boy someone to play with. The boy learns the joys and sorrows of owing a dog. One great thing about dogs are they love you for you. They don't care if you're young or old, fat or thin, white, brown or black. As long as you're nice to them they will stand by you. The movie takes place in the segregated South. Dogs like Skip can teach humans a thing or two.
