Theatrical Release:Nov 30, 1999 Wide
Starring: Peter O'Toole, Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam, Brian Brown
Director: Toa Fraser
This is really a shaggy dog story that takes too long to start barking. But when it does, it works a treat. It’s amazing how much you can forgive if the last part of a movie is right, and this one covers itself in something like glory in the nick of time.
Hugely enjoyable comedy-drama with a delightfully witty, off-the-wall script and a terrific performance from Sam Neill.
Elegantly played, wittily delivered, lost at Christmas.
A dull and thoroughly stilly British drama based on the idea of canine reincarnation.
Top CriticIt's a talky, narrowly focused piece that feels like an after-dinner anecdote presented with the full ceremony of a formal meal.
Top Critic...the final reel packs far more of an emotional wallop that one could've possibly anticipated (it's just too bad about that first hour, however).
