Snow Dogs Reviews

James Coburn died in 2002, he made many movies before dying of a heart attack, 'Snow Dogs' was one of his last

'Snow Dogs' is boring, poorly acted and sometimes racist; Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Coburn play a father and son - a black son and a white father which in a few scenes, people say "Yeah, it's obvious!" sarcastically which in my opinion is rather racist (do they allow discriminatory in a kids movie)

It is just so boring and the performances are terrible - the only exception being James Coburn; it was one of his last movies and a bad one too, but it completely wasted his talent, 'Snow Dogs' could brainwash small children immediately (with its spinner plots)

The only advantage of watching 'Snow Dogs' is that the scenes of ordinary America make you want to live in America more, a place where I'd like to go sometime soon

Honestly, I didn’t expect much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for James Coburn, I thought I might as well give it a shot. Unfortunately, the whole thing turned out to be pretty lame… I mean, as soon as you have Cuba Gooding Jr. playing the lead, you already pretty much know that the whole thing will stink. I mean, the guy was so promising, first in ‘Boy n the Hood’ and he later on won an Acamedy award for his performance in ‘Jerry Maguirre’. Well, since then, most of his movies have been pretty abysmal and 2002 was especially a bad year for him since he also showed up in ‘Boat Trip’, arguably one of the worst movies ever made. Concerning James Coburn, it was just sad that this movie would be one of this last one (he died the year it was released). Basically, it is one of those terribly tedious Disney features, I mean, sometimes their animated features are hard to swallow but their live-action stuff are often even worse. At least, 4 years later, they would make ‘Eight Below’, about the same subject, even starring some of the very same dogs, and even though it was nothing great, it was 10 times better than this. To conclude, the whole thing was pretty bad and it is not worth a look whatsoever.

I just sat down to watch this randomly since it was on the Disney channel and I was pretty bored. I was pleasantly surprised, but mainly because I had REALLY low expectations for this movie. Of course, this type of movie has been put out before: suitable for the family, cheesy and cutesy humor, and a heartwarming happy ending. But, overall I enjoyed my time watching it. It was cute, but don't expect to be watching a masterpiece if you are going to watch it, because it obviously is not! I just enjoyed it a bit for being what it is.
