Reviews for A Dog of Flanders
enough spirit and the right attitude, but the rest of the essential elements of a successful movie just are not here.
Step into the darkened theater and the familiar smell may not hit you immediately. Watch your step, though, because A Dog of Flanders is nothing but cinematic doggy poo.
One is tempted on such a promising but cliched movie to reduce it to a one-phrase review. The one for this picture would be: Needs more dog.
