Alternately jerking the audience's tears and splashing snow in their faces, 3-D indie Call of the Wild loses focus (literally) but gets by on its good-hearted demeanor.

Jack London’s classic novel gets a contemporary--and gender--twist in this family adventure. At nine years old, Ryan Hale (Ariel Gade) is a city girl at heart, and spending time with her grandfather (Christopher Lloyd) in the cold Montana wilderness isn’t her idea of a good time. However, the appearance of a wild dog named Buck changes Ryan’s attitude, and with a dog race on the (ice-covered) horizon, Ryan may now be able to call Montana home. But can Buck be tamed, or will his wild instincts win out? CALL OF THE WILD 3D also stars Wes Studi, Timothy Bottoms, and Veronica Cartwright. [More]

Reviews for Call of the Wild 3D
Although Call of the Wild would have been a dime a dozen in a previous era, right now, it's so old it feels new again.
Even comparing itself to the beloved book makes this clunky and supposedly family-friendly drama seem worse than it already is.
