  A game of chance. (Fluke)
  
  I'm not sure what part of the market this film was intended for. At the start it's very adult and then goes very childish and ends up family viewing.read more »

  How imaginative.
  
  Excellent, touching story about a man who dies, comes back as a dog and traces his family. Sounds corny, but really makes you wonder....... Woof!

  Fairly good, if you've read the book then you'll be slighty dissappointed as the film tells the story from a different angle.
