Reviews for Fluke
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.
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.
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.
