great book butchered in terrible movie!
I read this book thinking it was wonderful, and, expecting it to be as powerful and wallop-packing, set out to see the movie. Boy, was I wrong! The movie was TERRIBLE. The storyline was butchered into a watered down canned thing, therefore seeming in my mind like one of those "Christian movies", designed only to teach kids a lesson,so the story is barely there. Not to mention the acting was atrocious. I don't reccomend this movie to ANYONE!

8 And Up
Some parts of this movie may scare little kids like when they meet the blind lady, or when the librarian tells the story of the bear breaking in. But over all it's a happy movie.

great movie
A great mvovie. The movie is about a young girls mother who leaves her and her father and then the little finds a dog and names it winn dixie. I think the story was grand and the content was age a[ropreat for a PG rateing. There is some swearing and two boys constintly insult a girl. For vilonce is that there is little peril and the story talks about deaths a people who were loved.

A good family film!
This movie stuck very, very close to the book. There were only three differences that I noticed. There wasn't really anything wrong with this movie. Older kids might not enjoy it as much as younger kids, but if you enjoyed the book, you will LOVE the movie!!!

Its alright
You don't have to worry about anything not being appropriate.But in my oppinon the movie itself was boring.I watched it with my mother she enjoyed.Maybe i thought it was boring because i was a few years younger.
