The Citizen Kane of dog films, and the only one in the genre that actually aims for the demographic that are best friends with canines.

This is a warm hearted, charming, sometimes sad and sometimes amusing family friendly watch. I was intrigued by the story given its based on a true story and I enjoyed the various characters. I like how the dog brought the local community together and the theme of the somewhat underdogs sticking up for themselves against others in the perhaps outskirts of town. This is a nice watch and I would recommend it.

Family movies about loyalty are rare - and the story of Red and his community is a good one (and a tear jerker).

Pretty sappy stuff, but the film-makers use knowing humour to snare more cynical viewers and are well-served by the cast.

Heart's in the right place, but very broad and quite irritating too.

Red Dog still boasts plenty of Ocker charm, thanks to an eclectic cast of character actors.

Flaws are balanced, however, by some terrific performances and Geoffrey Hall's superb cinematography.

The List

An endearing, funny, idiosyncratic tale, director Kriv Stender's film is made up of a series of hilarious and tearjerking scenes of human folly.
