Rob Nelson Variety 09/01/2009
Alternately jerking the audience's tears and splashing snow in their faces, 3-D indie Call of the Wild loses focus (literally) but gets by on its good-hearted demeanor. Go to Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press 06/12/2009

Although Call of the Wild would have been a dime a dozen in a previous era, right now, it's so old it feels new again. Go to Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 06/11/2009

Even comparing itself to the beloved book makes this clunky and supposedly family-friendly drama seem worse than it already is. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
