Far From Home - The Adventures Of Yellow Dog description
A boy (Jesse Bradford) and his yellow Labrador are marooned on a wilderness island in British Columbia and must find their way home through uncharted forests. This is a story about friendship and personal strength, focusing on the relationship between a boy and his dog as they battle the elements, the terrain and, of course, wild animals in their effort to find their way home and survive their harsh surroundings. Director Philip Borsos has a nice eye for those Ansel Adams-like moments--but scenery only carries a movie so far and this movie asks too much. Though relatively short at 81 minutes, it still feels long. --Marshall Fine |

Disappointing
|
| I love dogs and I really wanted to love this film. Unfortunately I didn't find it quite as satisfying at most of the reviewers. Can't quite put my finger on it, but perhaps I didn't find the characters as likeable or convincing as some who saw this. Even the dog was not that interesting for some reason; perhaps not one of the more attractive breeds. Also it seemed that they didn't spend enough time developing the bond between the boy and the dog. (The movie is short; not even 1 1/2 hours.) It's a great family movie and I think it is more suitable for young children than older ones who may find it boring. The younger ones might be a little upset near the end when the dog can't be rescued, but don't worry as it has a happy ending. It's an okay movie, but I expected a lot more. I like movies that BOTH kids and adults can enjoy (like Shrek II). This is definately one mainly just for the kids. So many things that kids can't or shouldn't watch. This is one that anyone can watch, which is a big plus. Probably would have been better as a TV movie and would easily fit in a 2-hour timeframe with plenty of time for commercials. |
