A shy boy is unable to make friends in Yazoo City, Mississippi in 1942, until his parents give him a terrier puppy for his ninth birthday. The dog, which he names Skip, becomes well known and loved throughout the community and enriches the life of the boy, Willie, as he grows into manhood. Based on the best-selling Mississippi memoir by the late Willie Morris. —IMDb
I thought it was a sweet story about a boy and his dog. I am aware it is a story that has been told countless times before, but then again; does it need to be more complicated than that? Props to Frankie Muniz for trying a serious role, especially during a time he was exclusively known for Malcolm in the Middle.
