Red Dog Movie Review

Just released on DVD last month, Red Dog is a movie that you dog lovers out there do not want to miss. This is an Australian film about a red dog and his life in the outback. It is based on the true story of a dog who belonged to no one in particular. The movie spans the life and travels of this unique dog who touched many lives and created a true sense of community in a time and place where it was greatly needed.

Rated: PG

Directed by Kriv Stenders

Written by Louis De Bernieres (who also wrote the novel of the same name) and Daniel Taplitz

Starring Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama), Rachel Taylor, Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider, The Nativity Story), Arthur Angel, and Koko as Red Dog

Although this is a family film I would think if you have little ones that they would enjoy something like Air Bud more. This movie is for slightly maturer audiences. It is a drama and a love story (guys don't let that deter you). It is a very heart-warming tale. Red Dog represents all that is good and loyal in dogs. Watch this movie and you will not soon forget the story of this amazing dog.
