Writer-director Charles Sturridge doesn't mess with the Lassie formula%u2014he provides plenty of dog-porn shots of the collie bounding through scenery in slow motion%u2014but the overqualified cast puts the film over the top.

I don't know why I watched this movie, I can't stand dog movies.

A childhood classic and the best possible interpretation of Lassie the world has ever seen. It's a great coming of age story with the extremely talented child superstar Tom Guiry that happens to include a faithful dog rather than use it to motivate the plot. The villains are some of my favorite. A dirty redneck
