My N Yes, there are lots of cliches, silly gags, and way too many slips. falls. and skirmishes on the ice, but it IS a 'family' movie, after all; it's lively and fun with some interesting characters (James Coburn's among them)--and, AND as a special bonus, you get to see teams of majestic and beautiful sled dogs/huskies in action.

Fun watch for svrryone Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it when I was, what, five. I don't remember well if young me could sniff out the story (joke intended) but I'm sure many adults my age can see it coming from miles away. But that's the thing, this movie was based off of a book by Gary Paulsen. The straight ahead humor of the movie is what brings me back. Short little bursts that make me snort almost twenty years later now. "To my friend Peter Yellowbear" Played by the wonderful Graham Greene "My lucky putter. But don't expect it to improve your game." The movie provides grown up styled humor that I, personally, adore. Much like Ted, the main character played by Cuba Gooding Jr., saying that a man by the name of Thunder Jack, (James Coburn) cannot have gotten hit by thunder once, let alone twice. Only for Peter Yellowbear to silently nod. The story, as previously stated is as predictable as the day is long. Is that such a bad thing? A man trying to find out who his father is. A man versus nature in the form of a bunch of sled dogs that he has no idea how to handle but learns over the course of the movie. Sure the story, critically, is blah, I personally do not return to this movie for story telling marvels. Quite honestly, I find myself zoning out a portion of the time, or blocking out the use of the word 'eskimo' or trying not to think of a young James Coburn getting it on with Nichelle Nichols (even if she is Ted's adoptive mother and not his birth mother). But the sense of closeness I pick up from the characters, the solid friendships and great chemistry I find so endearing makes this movie a great one to watch in the uncertain times wondering if we are going to be locked down again. I view this movie as a group of old friends that I can return to whenever I need it. All in all you should spare the 100 minutes and give it an honest shot. Looking past some of the dated language, skunk humor, and animal hijinks, I think you will find a warm classic to enjoy. Is that so bad? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review robert p Better than most comedies, I found myself laughing at all the antics of the snow dogs and the other dog. I give this movie *3 and 1/2* stars. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
