The latest film to be drawn from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's best-selling young-adult trilogy about a frisky West Virginia beagle with a knack for bringing people together.

An insipid tearjerker about a beagle with a middle-school daddy.

... has more respect for the intelligence of the title dog than its audience.

Offers exactly what you've come to expect from the series: Bland but wholly innocuous family entertainment featuring a cute kid and an even cuter dog.

An OK kids movie passing through on the way to video.

If you've followed the previous Shiloh films, then you'll be satisfied, if not overjoyed, by this final chapter.
