Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The plot's slavish schmaltz proves as oppressive as the harsh winter that descends upon the dogs.

rotten:
It's too cliched, it's too rote, and honestly I think you have to care a little bit more about the individual dogs to believe that these people would care so much.

rotten:
Eight Below runs two hours and would have benefited from losing 30 minutes of that -- all of it from Jerry's (Paul Walker) protracted quest. The other human actors are simply types.

It's heartwarming, occasionally exciting, and some of the cinematography is exemplary.

Live-action animal adventures have always been a Disney specialty, and this one has a pretty compelling plot.
