Fluke

This movie has always been in my top 10 movies from childhood. This movie aged incredibly well, the story is very unique. There isn't enough words to describe how good this movie is, a must watch.

Fluke is a family movie whom someone couldn't give so much credit. In my opinion it's great. I always loved pets and non-domestic animals so I can truly believe they've got a soul. In the movie, a young child loses his father, but for magic his soul transmigrates in a dog. With some clues, Fluke the dog will be accepted as the reincarnation of the dear daddy. I've lost my father at the age of 3. Sometimes is very hard think of it but I've got a special feeling with my cat. She's with me since 11 years (now I'm 26), I can see in her eyes a true spirit, like an angel standing by. With the help of this movie I've raised the conviction that animals should be guiding souls of exhaled dears for us. Yes, I still believe, though my "old" age, in such romantic things. ----- My vote: 8 1/2 -----

This movie is one of the saddest movies I've seen, just because of when the dogs are in trouble, and also when they're lonely or hurt. I really like how the story is about a dog who is transformed into a human to find his family; it was pretty cool. I would reccommend a big box of tissues for this movie-just to be prepared.

This movie, based on the book of the same name, was a beautiful piece of work, as a man (Matthew Modine) is killed in a car accident and is reincarnated as a dog, in which form he seeks out his human family. Also in this form, he begins to suspect that he was murdered. If you get the chance, read the book too. Both versions were excellent, and the cast was first-rate. Samuel L. Jackson was well cast in the role of the voice of his dog friend, and Modine and Eric Stoltz were well-cast too. *** out of ****

I don't know if it was a "fluke" or not (pun intended), but they really made a good and worthwhile movie here. Despite some familiar "kid-movie" trappings (actually, when you first hear the two dogs "talking" to each other you may be disappointed that yet another movie has used that gimmick, but at least the other dog is voiced by Samuel Jackson), this film isn't very accessible to kids; it's very unusual, rather grim and pretty much of a downer. Older viewers, though, should appreciate the consistently interesting story, the excellent cinematography and the remarkable "performances" by the dogs; their trainers really did a great job. (***)

Fluke is the best family drama I have ever watched because this film is the only one that made me cry. I would recommend it to everyone who likes movies about dogs, however you will need hankies to watch this one. If you have a chance to watch it, to pick it in your video-club, don't miss it! You will be thrilled!!!
