Movie Review - Arctic Dogs
I just saw a headline that questioned if a child under five should see Arctic Dogs, due to rude humor and lots of action. My question is; would children over five want to see this film? It's not a boring movie by any means. I truly enjoyed it, but it seems that the generation, of which my six year old great granddaughter is a member, is getting more sophisticated in their viewing preferences. My point is, anyone --even those under five will like this film -- it provides lots of color and movement, and that's what the kiddies, and some adults, like.
I was happy to see the movie touched on global warming, a subject children should be made aware of as early as possible. Arctic Dogs did a fine job teaching perseverance in the face of adversity -- you know, like a fat walrus, with the voice of John Cleese -- trying to melt the Arctic. Our little white hero Swifty showed if you want something bad enough, like being a Top Dog, no sacrifice was too large to make. Good for him.
Jeremy Renner did a fine job giving personality to Swifty, and Heidi Klum was excellent as Jade, Swifty's love interest. And doesn't John Cleese make the perfect gentleman villain? But James Franco's character Lemmy just grated on my nerves.
Arctic Dogs will win no awards, but it's still a fun little movie.
