  • Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)
    Five screenwriters are credited with the cliche-laden screenplay; it seems as if each watered down the version of the one before.

    Phoned-in business as usual.

    If you have a soft spot for man's best friend, it's a pretty good throwaway movie.

  • Loren King Boston Globe (Top Critic)
    Cuba Gooding Jr. valiantly mugs his way through Snow Dogs, but even his boisterous energy fails to spark this leaden comedy.

    What Faustian bargain did Gooding make, forcing him to star in this insipid fish-out-of-water comedy that paints him as a Bolton fan?

    A movie set in the frozen north that just idles, endlessly, in the sitcom hothouse where convention slowly but surely becomes moldy cliche.

    Instantly forgettable.

    A generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under-10 set.

    Gooding offers a desperately ingratiating performance.

    "Snow Dogs" doesn't offer much, but to be fair, it had the youngest viewers at my screening cheering and laughing until the end.

    Whoever let the dogs out should probably consider a career change.

    ...As fleeting and insubstantial as a snowflake, and about as much fun.

    While kids will probably eat the whole thing up, most adults will be way ahead of the plot.

    Ten minutes into the movie Gooding already has screamed at least 57 times.

    This is a family film like they used to make, where the humour balances the drama, the personal tragedies are life lessons and the animals are so darn cute, by golly.

    The Iditarod lasts for days - this just felt like it did.

    A movie full of gestures that would look over-the-top in primary school plays.

    Gooding is so pleasant and likable, it's hard to get mad at him for wasting our time.

    ...this isn't even a movie we can enjoy as mild escapism; it is one in which fear and frustration are provoked to intolerable levels.

    For some reason, Disney keeps making really, really crappy live-action films.

    There's not much to like or dislike in this ride; it's the kind of all-season, live-action amusement that the Disney studio has been churning out for decades.

    If I told you that your children DESERVED this movie, you'd slap my face.

    Releasing a film with the word 'dog' in its title in January lends itself to easy jokes and insults, and Snow Dogs deserves every single one of them.

    Large doses of slapstick humor and Gooding's vitality keep Snow Dogs from slipping into dull 'family entertainment.'
