maybe, just maybe, the worst movie ever

Before I even start I have to tell you that I had to stop watching the movie before it was over because it was THAT terrible. there's a bunch of people in ireland, and there's a puppy that's about to be drowned, and all of a sudden they move to africa, and the same people are all there, and people whip their servants, and dogs fight with imprisoned baboons, and oh there's a love story, too. and lots and lots of animal violence. you know those family-type movies they show you in elementary school that are all about the sepia tones and the people on farms who do senseless things? well, this is like those, but worse. far, far worse. family movie my toe.

A Runt of a Dog, With a Big Heart

If you have ever loved an animal that in the eyes of the world was just a runt of the litter then you will love the story of Jock, the dog. Of course, don't forget his master Percy Fitzpatrick who himself was an out-of-place 20 year old city boy now trying to live in the wild country of Africa. But this story is really about Jock, who has a fear of water because someone tried to drown him in a bucket of water as a pup. A dog that no one thinks will survive in the open country but in time becomes a hero to the native people of Africa because of his bravery. Yes, if you have ever felt too small to accomplish something great then watch this and take heart, because you also can raise up to great depths of courage like Jock.

Much loved South African classic

OK, so this didn't win any Oscars, but it is a solid family movie based on a great, much-loved, classic South African book. The kids will love it, and the adults should really read the book to truly appreciate the story, and embellish the story to the kids. Even if you just watch this movie to marvel at the beautiful scenery, you will enjoy it! As previously mentioned, ignore the first ignorant post.

True story of early South African History

This is a fabulous movie. I just watched it again and was again so impressed by the filming and the actors. One of the things that struck me was the sense of watching artwork come alive. I would have loved to see more footage of the animals in the wild but I understand it is a story, not a documentary. On the video I have, the sound it not good, but that may just be my copy. Because of the very marked accents of the actors, to validate the time and place, it is also hard to understand if the accent is unfamiliar. But, even with those minor problems I found it an exceedingly satisfying movie. I also found the music used in the movie was very good. A movie that worked together. No jarring notes.

A story about ultimate friendship

In the late 80's there was a version of Jock of the bush-veld that was African.

But it seems as if that version wasn't enough and this film was made. A made for TV kinda flick with Lazurus man in a supporting role.

With historic inaccuracies by the dozen and cheesy dialogue, all I needed was lettuce and a patty to make a cheeseburger. The soundtrack was a winning factor but not enough to make it a good film.

In the book it was about a man in Africa, a dangerous unpredictable Africa, in this Africa looks like a fun park... come on.

And not 20 years later another remake followed... O my word!

Maybe it is time to Reboot it once more, invite Gavin Hood to direct a really intense dramatic adventure, or Jonathan Liebesman to give it a horror twist... hell give Mr shucks a go at jock but leave the first alone!
