Editorial Reviews

The lovely snowy expanses of Alaska are the setting for Chilly Dogs, a goofy comedy about a travel agency clerk (Skeet Ulrich, Scream, The Newton Boys) from Los Angeles who has to prove his mettle by racing a team of mismatched sled dogs from Anchorage to Nome. Only this will allow him to claim his grandfather's inheritance--and a wily lawyer (Leslie Nielsen, mugging shamelessly as usual) intends to claim that inheritance for himself by knocking the clerk out of the race. It's not surprising to see Ulrich in a movie full of clumsy, half-baked slapstick and bodily function humor, but why is Natasha Henstridge (Species, The Whole Nine Yards) thrown away as a bland romantic foil? Her intelligence and sexy/tough persona deserve better--she provides Chilly Dogs with what little momentum it has. Also featuring Rik Mayall (The Young Ones). --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Chilly Dogs is a fun movie, August 2, 2004

By	Larry B. (Virginia) - See all my reviews

OK -- so its not going to win an oscar. Its corney, predictable and the effects are low tech. In spite of all that I like it. The actors are good (considering the script), the sound track is very good (though you won't find any chartbusters on it)and there is a load of subtle as well as in-your-face slap stick comedy. Seeing it once will not be enough to pick up on all the little touches in this movie. Overall its a great movie when you want something relaxing, simple and funny.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best comedy effort, May 11, 2003

By	P.W. Reader (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I tried watching this film because I am a diehard Leslie Nielsen fan, long having been a fan of "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" movies.

This effort, however, was rather disappointing. Most of the comic moments are rather boring and predictable, and aside from the initial appearance of the mixed breed sled dog team and the "bouncing bullet" spoof at the end (the only bits that kept me from giving it only one star), I barely even chuckled.

There is none of the laugh-out-loud schtick one typically expects in Nielsen films. The fact that he had to play the villain in this one accounts for part of that, and his stereotypical gay and dumb British sidekick fails miserably in complementing his character.

Sure, there's romance and a little farcical tragedy typical of these films, but the plot is scattered and too many bits just don't make sense. The main guy Kevin Manley, an overworked travel agent looking for a little excitement, by his words never took a single vacation in his life, yet still has a thousand dollars to offer to learn the fundamentals of sled dog racing, plus even more money to initially purchase fancy equipment and real sled dogs.

If you're a Nielsen fan, this might be worth a rent to watch once just to see him in a different type of role. If you're looking for something entertaining, this film is a flop. I don't recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very good, August 1, 2006

By	Ms. Ann Ona Mouse (Cheese) - See all my reviews

I bought this movie thinking it might be slightly entertaining, unfortunately I was wrong, very wrong. This has to be one of the stupidest movies I have seen in a long time, the parts of the movie that were meant to be funny were boring and just ridiculous.I would NOT recommend this movie, you would be better off doing something more useful with your time. I have seen Ulrich,Nielsen & Henstridge in much better moves than this.
