On ok film version of the children’s story about a young girl and the dog she finds who changes her life and the life of her father, a poor Baptist preacher (Jeff Daniels). It is a kid’s film but has an ok little bits by Eva Marie Saint and Dave Matthews (who sings the title cut and a has a really nice little piece in the film). So very nice to see them and Daniels does well with predictable materials. The kid and dog are boring. Little Bronwen liked it
