Lord help me but I want to see this movie! I saw the trailer on Coming Attractions, and I was so excited. I'll be there on opening day, Paul Walker be damned. I am going for the huskies!

I want to see it too.
A dog named Maya and the hotness of Jason Biggs is too much to resist. That and I kind of want to do my part in sticking it to the film nerds that are comparing Paul Walker to Cuba Gooding in Snow Dogs.

My boyfriend looooves huskies and wants to see this movie but I am afraid it will be sad and I will cry. I always cry at Homeward Bound (my mum won't even WATCH it because it upsets her). I cried at AIR BUD!

I want to see this movie as well. Paul and his "acting" can shove it. BUT there are some damn cute dogs involved. I didn't even catch the name of the movie because I was so saddened by the fact that they abandon the dogs! What kind of shit is that?

I love doggie movies, but I can't handle that shit. I cried at the end of "Turner & Hooch," people. I also heard that some of the doggies don't live. I'll sit this one out, for sure.

I cannot watch any movie in which a dog dies. I wept at the end of Where the Red Fern Grows and couldn't finish it when trying to read it to a child. I hated Steven Spielberg for using a dog's death as a point of comedy at the end of Jurassic Park 2. So I have no idea why I want to see this movie so badly and am thinking I might brave it.
I read the spoilers about it at IMDb and for what it's worth, only two of the dogs die. One decides to stay behind because it's too old to make the trek - I guess the dogs talk in this movie? - so you don't see it die, and the other falls down a glacier or something. The people posting at IMDb who have seen it say that the second dog's death isn't that bad. I don't know, only two out of eight, in a movie in which there are lots of cute dogs? I might actually risk it.

Oh, dogs doing what the first dog did in the spoiler is still sad (that was convoluted. I'm talking about the old dog). I cry when Shadow gets stuck in the pit in Homeward Bound AND when he comes back to the boy. And if I can repeat myself, I cried at AIR BUD (when the boy tells Air Bud to run away and leave him. So sad!). Dogs don't even die in those movies! I really doubt I'll be able to handle this movie. Though they're not golden retrievers, so it might be different.

The original Incredible Journey movie is my all time favorite "pet returns to loving master(s)" flick. Liked Homeward Bound, too. And Lassie Come Home would probably still make me cry even if I saw it today, for the umpteenth time.
This movie? The same theme as those above? With purrrty huskies? Oh. hell. yes. I wanna see it. Btw, on those commercials where they show the name of each husky, did it look like two of the dogs are supposed to be identical twins, or something?

I think so. I too got that impression from the trailer.

Yup, two of the dogs are twins.
Colour me surprised - this was a very decent movie, and I thought Paul Walker did a good job. Jason Biggs was adorable and provided very effective comedy relief. I cried my eyes out at the end.
My one criticism is that it could've used some editing - all the stuff with Paul's girlfriend could've been severely trimmed, and it wouldn't have made any difference.
