ABOUT MY DOG SKIP
Who says best friends have to be human? Not Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz), who receives a talented terrier named Skip for his birthday. With Skip’s remarkable and unconventional help, Willie and Skip turn bullies into friends, tangle with hapless moonshiners and even win the affections of the prettiest girl in school. A funny, heartfelt coming-of-age story, My Dog Skip is a humorous and moving testimony to a unique friendship, based on award-winning author Willie Morris’ bestselling memoir of his boyhood. (Jay Russell, 2000, PG, 95 min.)
