First of all, this is gets HUGE kudos from me. Just a great movie. Ignore those silly critics!! I get so tired of cynical, world weary critics who just can't stand to experience joy. Please, please critics, pull out your thesauruses and your heads,and start delivering your hype from planet earth. This is a GREAT family movie. It is fun. Endearing. Sometimes sorrowful, but it is a good movie. I felt clean and not slogged down in goopy filth when I left the theater. Call of the Wild is a terrific way to spend 1 hour and 40 minutes any day of the week. It has a good story line, costumes and sets spot on, breath taking scenery, scoundrels, the charismatic canine DUKE and of course, Harrison Ford. Who doesn't love all this stuff in a move? Don't miss it.
