Christine Falkenbury I First Saw This Movie 3 0r 4 Years Ago, And I Just Loved It. I,d Never Really Liked The Classic Movies Of Lassie Too Much. They Were Much Too Sad. And Since I Am A Lover Of Animals, I Just Hate Animal Cruelty. However There Are Only 2 Versions Of Lassie That Are Worth Watching In My Opinion. 1. The Magic Of Lassie. 2.Lassie. This Version Of Lassie Really Touched My Heart. It,s A Wonderful Family Movie, That Makes You Laugh And Cry At The Same Time. It Also Shows How Teenagers Adjust To The Real World Through Family, Pets, And Making A Home For Themselves. Even Learning About Young Love. I Highly Recommend This Movie. You,ll Absolutely Love It As I Did. It Teaches Several Valuable Lessons For Young And Old Alike. Thats Why It,s So Very Special

psush_girl This movie was one of my favorites when I was younger. I am now 21 years old and I still love it and watch it whenever it comes on cable. The original concept of Lassie never really appealed to me, I guess because it was slightly before my time. However, I thought this movie brought the spirit of the original Lassie to kids who never got to experience Lassie when it was at it's best. The main actor Thomas Guiry, who played the troubled Matt Turner, truly carried this film. He was also quite fortunate to be surrounded by other great actors such as Michelle Williams and Charlie Hofheimer.I really loved this story because it expressed the true values of family and unconditional love. I recommend this film to families, children, and adults alike. I still love this movie and probably always will. I give it a 9 out of 10.

prairiedog5413 If you can't stand wholesome family entertainment, you should probably stay away from this one. As to the comment that "This one should be stuck in the back of the doghouse", by another "reviewer", consider it it just someone's toxic two cents that should be ignored. It's not titillating, or gory, or intellectually challenging, but it wasn't meant to be - it's a movie for kids.It's a story about a boy and a dog, and it's done well. One should expect a bit of sentimentality in a movie called "Lassie", and it's appropriately there. It's uplifting and heartwarming (God forbid!). The scenery was great, as was the soundtrack. Mr. Guiry did a fine job as Matt, and Lassie was, of course, awesome.

ender34 Tom Guiry is a nice kid and Lassie XXV (or whatever the current incarnation) is a beautiful dog. There is little else in this predictable plot or its dimensionless characters to interest anyone over the age of 10.
