The latest movie that my family and I have gotten to review is Smitty from Phase 4 Films. It was such a delight. It reminded me of movies that I grew up watching and loving. This truly is a family friendly film. The cast is amazing. The film features Academy Award winners Mira Sorvino and Louis Gossett Jr. and Academy Award nominee Peter Fonda. Here is what the story is all is all about:
Mischievous thirteen-year-old Ben is sent to his grandfather’s farm for the summer, where he crosses paths with a lovable mutt. With help from the unlikely canine companion, Ben learns the importance of friendship, family and responsibility. When life gets tough for Ben, a friendly paw is all it takes to pull him through.
I don’t want to give too much about the story, but rest assured the dog remains intact. Everyone in the family can enjoy this film. It is filled with life lessons and teaches responsibility. I also found that it has the ability to open up many conversations between the viewers and their children. It’s not corny and I believe that has to do with the high caliber actors in this movie. Next time you are looking for family film for movie night, I’d definitely consider Smitty.
