Product Description:
An amazing collie helps a teen and his family raise sheep on ancestral land in the shenandoah valley. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/28/2006 Starring: Thomas Guiry Michelle Williams Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Daniel Petrie
Amazon.com:
This 1994 update on the Lassie legend stars Thomas Guiry as a troubled city kid whose family retreats to the country, where he befriends the famous collie and changes for the better. Conflict develops when a ruthless sheep rancher causes trouble for everyone. Director Daniel Petrie (The Bay Boy) aims only to revive the healthy spirit of previous Lassie films (and the television series) in a new milieu, and toward those modest ambitions--predictable plot and all--he succeeds. Guiry is unusually good in what many young actors would have taken to be just another blossoming-teen part. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Lassie Choices
It is somewhat dishonest to call this a 'Lassie' film. This film never excited in me the same feelings as many of the older Lassie films. However, there are some positive aspects to this film.
First, Lassie (1994) is considerably more contemporary than most 'Lassie' films yet has a collie as the hero. (This might interest children ages 8 through 13 who enjoy action and dogs.)
Second, the film has a theme I appreciate - a theme of reaching out to others when others treat you cruely or degradingly.
Third, the film kept my attention more than other Lassie films or films with canine stars.
[While I enjoyed Old Yeller and Air Bud (1998), many dog films such as The Shaggy Dog (both 1959 and 2006), Where the Red Fern Grows, Shiloh, Far From Home, etc. either were incredible unrealistic or failed to keep my attention for long.]
However, there is merit in the response, "This film is too violent and uses foul language." While this Lassie film is no Stand By Me or Jaws, it isn't Mr. Roger's Neighborhood either. Some words are included in this film that parents may not appreciate their five year olds hearing, and some scenes (while not very violent) have undertones that are more likely to 'scare' parents than children.
I do not desire to give away the plot to the reader. However, the film begins with Lassie's real owner being killed in a tractor-trailer accident on wet roads. Based on this description, ... Read More
Rating:  - good Lassie movie
I first saw this movie about ten years ago, when it came on TV one day. It's a nice update of the Lassie story - a story about a boy and his courageous dog, Lassie. Definitely recommended.

THIS STORY TOOK PLACE IN MY CHILDHOOD HOME. IT WAS LIKE GOING HOME. I SAW IT ON TV CHRISTMAS MORNING AND RUSHED TO AMAZON TO FIND IT AND BUY IT. IT IS SO VERY ENJOYABLE TO VIEW SUCH STORIES.
Rating: - Great service

Rating: - Family Entertainment
I liked the movie a lot it is very interesting as of and I recomend it for the whole family, or for kids the age of 13/14 and under. Older kids or grown ups can watch it as well but it could be a little bit slow for them at the beginning.
