Steineded How sad is this?

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

yimei zhu I happened to watch OWD BOB on TV last night and I was very glad to find out that it's an English movie after I was convinced that the girl Maggie has very English accent( London accent actually). I had lived in England for three years and it's a shame that I didn't visit Isle of Man. The scene in the movie was beautiful and peaceful. It reminds me of Isle of Skye which I visited this summer. The movie was about quiet countryside life but it didn't bore me. James Cromwell was brilliant as an old withdrawn farmer. I thought the character was in his sixties, but I found out on internet that he's only 57 when the film was made.I don't think the movie has shown much about the dog Owd BOB. It's more about the relationship between the grandfather and grandson, and people's feeling about each other. The movie doesn't have much dialogue, but we could feel what they were thinking. The movie has some little mistakes, but generally it's a good touching film that make me think.I wish that I would go back to UK and visit the island one day.

POOHDOG Having viewed this film numerous times on cable I had to purchase it. What a delicous talent pool. The actors have been in numerous British/ Irish productions. The scenery alone is worth seeing the movie. The gorse in bloom is a delight for the eye. This is a family film with dramatic acting taking credit not sillyness. The sheepdogs of course steal every scene but the Isle of Man location is breathtaking. I wish the soundtrack was availble but alas it's not. It's toe tapping Irish music. Sit back and enjoy this one.

poddop I have just received this film on DVD from the USA, This is a warm hearted film about his a boy who has come to the Isle of Man to live with his grandfather.The film is set in the north of the Isle of Man and the views it shows will bring back memories of those that have left the island. The film is very well acted by all that took part.I recommend this a first class family film.

Sarathai I`ve seen the movie on ppv and there I only watched because of James Cromwell and Colm Meany (I'm a Trekker!). But then I began to forget about their roles in DS9. This movie takes you into the story like no other film! If you like films like this or not, watch it!
