Critic Reviews

Christine Dolen

A Disney family film, with all that the term implies: It's playful, corny, silly, adventuresome and enjoyable.

Lou Lumenick

As for Gooding, he's sadly gone to the dogs -- Snow Dogs has got to be his most humiliating role since "Lightning Jack." Read full review

Frank Lovece

Formulaic but not entirely predictable, it's like old-school Disney, but without Tim Conway. Read full review

Loren King

Harmless, if witless, stuff for the kids.

Mark Olsen

Relies almost exclusively on the gushing exuberance of Gooding Jr., and the aw-shucks factor of his digitally expressive, face-licking canine co-stars, leaving such potentially game actors as James Coburn and M. Emmet Walsh out in the cold. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

As distressed as a comedy can be without qualifying as a snow emergency. Read full review

Marc Savlov

The marketing weasels over at Disney deserve to have their beady little eyes gouged out with flaming icicles for the fast one they've pulled on audiences with Snow Dogs. Read full review

A truly amazing film that sustains momentum in spite of not containing one fiber of substance.

Snow Dogs is a sad excuse of a comedy. While that isn't nice to say in front of canines, I feel like this could get worse as I watch it. In fact, when I heard that title, I was thinking it could be a family adventure type of movie, but instead you just get a stupid, childish movie that neverSnow Dogs is a sad excuse of a comedy.
