Description:
Unleash your imagination and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime with Fluke! Starring Matthew Modine, Nancy Travis, Eric Stoltz, Max Pomeranc and canine heroes Comet (TV's 'Full House') and Barney (Homeward Bound 2), this heartwarming fantasy-tale promises laughter, suspense and 'marvelous adventure for the whole family' (L.A. Parent). Waking up on his very first morning, Fluke a newborn puppy discovers a wondrous world of excitement and fun. Whether romping and wrestling with his brothers and sisters or curling up by his mother for a nap, Fluke is as contented as any young pooch can be. But when recurring dreams and a series of mishaps trigger memories of a very different world, he slowly realizes that he once had a very different life as a man! Convinced of his previous identity, Fluke sets out on an extraordinary journey that leads him back to his human family...and shows him more through the eyes of a dog than he could ever see as a man.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cute movie...better for older kids.
This movie is cute for my 8 year old but it's not really one she wants to watch over and over in our van for long trips. It has some sad parts and the story line is too heavy for my 2 year old to stay interested. It's very cute and enjoyable but is more a one time movie in our opinion. I'm still glad to own it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not for kids...
This movie is NOT for young kids even though the back of the DVD case shows a dog getting a bath and states "this is a family movie". My kids were balling their eyes out when the dogs were getting put to sleep. I should have watched it first - LIVE AND LEARN!!!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Basically a 90 minute PETA commerical.
First off, I grew up with dogs, I have an affection for dogs. I even have respect for PETA and their effort to ethically treat animals. That's a good mission to have.

But, that is a message that does not play well as this 90 minute movie. I mean with quotes like this "Maybe there are people like me behind the eyes of another creature." just went too far for me.

This movie was too melodramtic and my wife was calling out the plot points about one minute before each one ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent film.
Fluke (Carlo Carlei, 1995)

There is book, and there is film. And every once in a while, there are book and film that are utterly unlike one another, and yet both are brilliant. Perhaps the best-known example of this phenomenon is Stephen King's novel and Tobe Hooper's TV miniseries 'Salem's Lot, which bear at best a passing resemblance as narrated by a gallon drunk. Fluke comes off the same way, and despite Carlei's ham-handedness, this movie works.

First, you have to realize ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My little fluke
By far one of my favorite movies when I was little, I was delighted to finally perch my DVD copy of "Fluke" in my movie library. Ever since the lines began to echo in my head ("Well, he's MY little fluke"), I've known my purchase of the flick was imminent. It is, truly, a touching, poignant, and haunting film that tells of loss, betrayal, realization, and redemption on one side, and forgiveness, resilience, and pure, simple understanding on the other. It is about learning to live your life, and learning ... Read More
