The only heroic thing that the dog does is show some common sense when the humans make very dumb decisions ... There isn't much to like about this movie except the dog. And it's too bad this innocent dog was forced to be in this embarrassing mess.

This is a heavy-handed adventure story about a dog in the wild, but kids will probably enjoy it.

Rated: 3/5

Absolutely fantastic family movie! The people that did not like this movie should not watch a movie that starts with ‘Hero Dog in the title. This is great family entertainment. The dog lives and the people are kind and likable. The plot is predictable but the title includes ‘a journey home’ so that should be what it is. I recommend this movie to anyone that wants to be entertained and enjoy a movie night with family or alone.-

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The kid is supposed to be good at orienteering. He doesn’t have a compass he has a map. Seriously?

Horrible movie, bad acting, bad directing, boring ,would be impossible in real life, the Alaskan Malamute was the only thing worth watching. Don't waste your time and electricity on this. $ 2,100,000 budget, it must have all been used to rent the helicopter, this much money for such a sorry, silly movie was ridiculous.

This was a "C" class movie. Terrible lines and delivery, like a high school play. Do not waste your time!
