Christina C I really love this movie. It's one of my favorite dog movies of the 90s. I feel it's kinda under rated like it doesn't get talked about a lot or people don't seem to know this version very well. Like people are more familiar with the older versions. But I really love it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Blu B It's gorgous to look at in lots of shots and growing up with it, it has lots of heavy nostalgia. But it's got lots of issues. Outside of R.F. and Lassie, everyone else including Matt is just ok. The family is very stock and generic at times. The "villians" are just ok also. Really this is the biggest issue is the human characters aren't that interesting. The music is solid and easily the best thing. Although the 90's Grunge is very odd and out of place. lol Everything else is just ok. It feels like stuff just happens. Lassie always finds key plot points with no explanation really. But more than that, it's got a lot of stuff going on. Lassie doesn't really have a story and just moves the plot forward and is basically a god, the romance with Matt, family drama, the villains, adjusting to the new life, becoming farmers it never really all ties together THAT well. Although the ending climax is kind of good though. And this tugs very heavily on the heart strings and is very sentimental, but there isn't much substance. Probably the reason I liked it so much as a kid. It's perfectly harmless and a standard 90's family film that isn't broken. If ya grew up with it or are a big fan of Lassie, give it a try. But most could skip this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review bill t Maybe the best Lassie film out there, but there wasn't THAT much competirion. This time Lassie is found by the side of the road after a sheep truck accident and is adopted by a family who just moved from the big city. The family is having a hard go at country life, but Lassie helps them overcome that. Lots of little interesting, but maybe stereotypical things happen, but you still get sucked into it anyways. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lassie is a fine enough family film that's largely unremarkable but occasionally affecting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review steve d Another pointless relaunch that brings nothing new to the table. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jon c first there was the black-and-white TV series then the 1960's films 25 years ago Hollywood made another successful movie based on the famous canine the only recognizable star here is Helen Slater from her 'Supergirl' days and it happens to be Michelle Williams' first movie debut but newcomer Tom Guiry stars next to the titular animal the Turner family moves to a new house in the countryside; the father is re-married after the mother passed away years ago, Matt isnt warming up to his new stepmother but his sister Jennifer is more accepting the lovable pooch loses her owner in a car accident and finds solace in the Turners Lassie and Matt find the true meaning of their new home; a lot of it centers around his late mother and the life she once had he begins to appreciate the simple farm life of sheeping, school, meeting a nice local girl and facing a rival farmer of course there's always gonna be tensions when it comes to making a profit thankfully Lassie is there to make sure all is right as rain the film is terrific family entertainment from it's lovable pooch to warm music to lush landscapes sure it's a tad overwhimsical but it knows exactly what it is it even got me to cry towards the end as most of these stories do highly enjoyable with a dog everyone will love even if you're not a longtime Lassie fan Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
