Well made film, good family entertainment - By: M. Telford, 01 Jan 2009 
This is a well made film with a good cast & good acting throughout.
It is also based much more on fact than the Walt Disney original madein the 1960's. If you're interestedin reading about the true facts of the Greyfriars Bobby story read "Greyfriars Bobby, The real story at Last" by Forbes McGregor which I have reviewed on this site also.
The scenery makes for a lovely visual spectacle, Stirling is used for the location with its castle,in place of Edinburgh.
The only downside to this film( purely for authenticity to the real story) is the fact that they used a West Highland Terrier, instead of a Skye.
But the slightly scruffy appearance of the dog makes for a gritty realism that few films possess nowadays( with animals immaculately turned out & presented with not a hair out of place).
My kids loved this film much more than the original which they thought was ok, & I enjoyed it myself to be honest as a lover of Terrier breeds.
Go on, get yourself this dvd & let the whole family enjoy it.
Sloppy Production - By: Bregawn, 07 Apr 2008 
There's little to commend this film. It was never going to be easy to match the original so it appears that the producer (Christopher Figg) hasn't bothered. Excellent locations & the dog's a star but the remainder of the production was disappointingly lazy, they couldn't even be get the right breed of dog.
Charming Film - By: Chris Mac, 28 Aug 2007 
The illustration on the cover of the DVD does not reflect how visualy impressive the movie is. Its beautifuly shot & makes good use of the historic Scottish town of Stirling & its Castle doubling for old Edinburgh.The whole thing is very well done & has a good cast & guest appearance by Christopher Lee as the Lord Provost of Edinburgh! I really would recommend this movie as good family viewing, it appeals to adults & children alike as well as dog lovers, my nephews have watched it several times over & it keeps them glued to the screen & I must say I have enjoyed watching it a few times with them. A thoroughly charming film & a rarity to find wholesome entertainement of this kind.
enchanting - By: Terry R. Bamber, 03 May 2007 A very warm hearted film, told simply but with a great sense of loyalty. It is a shame this film has not been more widely seen. A sensitive soundtrack adds to the charm. I wholeheartedly recommend this film for great family viewing
Disappointing - By: Mrs T, 25 Jul 2006 I wouldn't recommend this film as I thought the acting was poor. The actor James Cosmo & Bobby the dog were the only stars. Some of the Scottish acents were dreadful & I found it quite boringin some parts. I persevered watching it thinking it would get better.......but, no such luck.
