L'aventurier du grand nord

Yes, it is a lot like Snow Dogs but i do not see Chilly Dogs as a ripoff. Chilly Dogs was released in 2001, so it may have even come before Snow Dogs and been put on the backburner simply because it was not produced by a major film studio. I could be wrong, but i find it hard to believe that this film deliberately ripped off another script at the same exact time they were both filmed.

As for the movie itself, i really liked it. There are several excellent actors portraying some very funny roles. There are several truly hilarious dialogue moments which you may not even catch in the first viewing. When i watched it the second time i noticed quite a few things i had previously been unaware of.

Bottom line...if you like Winter Comedies you'll probably like this movie.

If you're after a Nielsen comedy, don't bother. His role is a mundane supporting one and lacks his usual comedy genius. Unfortunately, the performances and plot he supports is lifeless and average. The dogs don't even contribute.

This comedy arrived during a recent snow storm. Right off the bat, we realized this movie was not going to break any new ground, or that it's nothing more than a funny attempt to let us spend almost two hours watching the shenanigans of this unlikely hero. Once that is out of the way, this film, directed by Bob Spiers, hit the spot.

Not only that, the famous dog race was happening at the same time Kevin, Bonnie, Carter, Clive Thornton were also going up North to Nome in the movie! There are some good moments in the film that make the viewer laugh.

Skeet Ulrich, as Kevin, makes the best he can with the material he was given to play. Natasha Henstridge, is Bonnie, a girl from a rival family that was an enemy of Kevin's pioneer grandfather. Leslie Nielsen is not as effective because his villain is not fully realized. On the other hand, Rik Mayall is a mean and ruthless Carter.

The best of the film, the Iditarod race. Kevin put together an assortment of cute dogs that turned out to be the winning team in the movie.

The other day I rented this movie hoping that I could have some laughs. I was wrong, I loved watching this movie. I laughed from the beginning to the end with the great contribution of Leslie Nielsen who in this film plays as the bad guy. Natasha Henstridge (Species) plays as the lover of Skeet Ulrich. I recommend this movie to the fans of comedy films and I am positively sure that you will like it.

Who think to watch Leslie Nielsen will have a great surprise in this movie because Rik Mayall is high point of this silly movie, otherwise could be throw away the DVD but he saves the movie in your funny English's accent, some jokes and playing a villain, Nielsen as a bad guy didn't work, Skeet Ulrich is totally lost in bad smell and Natasha Henstridge works with your beauty only, remains a little of this picture, just Rik Mayall and the funny dogs!!
