True leaders are hardly known to their followers. Good leaders are those who people love and admire; poor leaders are those who people fear and despise; Great leaders are those who people say - we did it ourselves.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
This boy-and-his-dog movie, a nonpareil family film, is, as one of the characters so aptly puts it, 'a heartbreak waiting to happen.' Frankie Muniz, winning over audiences in the TV series
Malcolm in the Middle
, has competition in
My Dog Skip
--
Skip himself (adorably played by a total of six Jack Russell terriers). Muniz, an inveterate charmer, stars as Willie Morris (from whose memoir the film is adapted), a gawky, awkward boy growing up during World War II under an overly protective father (Kevin Bacon). When his mom (Diane Lane) gives him Skip on his 9th birthday, his life is changed in every way for the better. Previously disinterested peers become pals, and he experiences puppy love with a girl named Rivers (Caitlin Wachs). There are plenty of high jinks and rah-rah touches of Americana, and the film also attempts to deal with sophisticated emotions
--
Willie's boyhood hero turns out to be less than heroic
--
but its devastating emotional core comes, simply and obviously, with Skip's eventual aging and demise. Dog lovers will be wiped out; those who don't care for canines shouldn't even be bothering to read this review. (Ages 8 and older)
