    Hardly a kids' flick. Non-lovers of dogs won't get it. Young adults won't understand the nostalgia. Moose & Enzo are great.

    A finely realized, sensitive, and thoughtful movie about growing up. Its sentimentality is sweet without being saccharine, its childhood nostalgia is gold-tinged without sappiness. It has wonderful performances by kids and adults alike and that dog deserved the oscar for best performance by a canine. A convincing re-creation of a bygone era as well.

    I never thought a simple movie about a boy and his dog could have such an emotional impact on me. It moved me to tears, even more than "Saving Private Ryan."

    Atmospheric and genial, and you've got to love the spectacle of a dog driving a car or parading around town like the unofficial mayor.
