OWD BOB (Released to VHS Argentina 1998)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  Owd Bob—James Cromwell—runs slower as British entertainment often does. But, even though it is not the best of films it tells an honest story that makes a suitable family share piece and serves as an education into shepherding dogs and their value to the farming/stock raising life. The story is based on an 1898 novel and has been remade into the film format several times.   Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  A boy's parents die in a car accident and he is sent to his grandfather by Social Services.   Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Rodney Gibbons for directing effort. Thank you to Executive Producers Steve Christian and Harry Alan Towers for making the film possible. Cast includes James Cromwell, Colm Meaney, Jemima Rooper, John Benfield, Anthony Booth, Dermot Keaney, and Moira Brooker.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Maybe. Beautiful Isle of Man scenery serves as the backdrop for the movie. The film accurately portrays the slower pace of country life due to its revolution around animals' needs and schedules. If the audience looks for the lighter, no razzle dazzle or bright lights, this is a suitable pick for entertainment. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
