This strange family fare, about a dog that was once a man, tries unsuccessfully to combine the expected magic of animal adventures with some more serious ideas.
As if banal platitudes about work-vs. -family aren't insufferable enough, there's a kicker gag involving Jackson that'll even have Mister Rogers begging for Pulp Fiction II.

It deals with challenging issues for the younger crowd in a sensitive manner and is still able to avoid patronizing the parent viewers.
Fluke has some interesting points to make about animals and about living in the present moment.

Here's a brief synopsis: Fluke is a dog who was once a human. After dying in a horrific car accident, he re-incarnates as a dog
