Not a mawkish dying-dog tearjerker, "My Dog Skip" carries a touch of Mark Twain, with quasi-dangerous tall tales and awareness of a gap between childhood and boyhood. Plus, as it's said of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there's cussin' in it.

So riddled with live-action Disney movie clichs that I kept waiting for Cruella de Ville to show up and threaten to skin the dog alive.

Skip may not change your life, but if you want a movie you can take your kids to without any trace of off-color jokes, sex, or violence, this is one.

You'll be reaching for your hanky and wondering why movies can't always be this good.

Proves even the tiredest genre can be reinvigorated in the right hands.
