What makes "Lassie" work is the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness that director Petrie and his creative team bring to the task.
Writer-director Charles Sturridge doesn't mess with the Lassie formula%u2014he provides plenty of dog-porn shots of the collie bounding through scenery in slow motion%u2014but the overqualified cast puts the film over the top.
A stubbornly sweet, picturesque children's film ...
It's somehow reassuring, these days, to see a movie where there's no problem Lassie can't solve.
For better or worse, "Lassie" is as safe and square as the TV show of yesteryear.
The story may be predictable, ham-fisted and saccharine, but that's why kids (and softhearted parents) will like it.
Audience Reviews for Lassie
I don't know why I watched this movie, I can't stand dog movies.

A childhood classic and the best possible interpretation of Lassie the world has ever seen. It's a great coming of age story with the extremely talented child superstar Tom Guiry that happens to include a faithful dog rather than use it to motivate the plot. The villains are some of my favorite. A dirty redneck businessmen and his two quad runner sons try to make life a living hell for the new residents. However, Lassie the dog wonder and Tom Guiry+Michelle Williams manage to stop the forces of evil and save the day.
