September 8, 2010I read the book and the film is as good as the good. The film really follows the book's plot.
Also the film has some really good acting in it.this is one of the best dog films ever made. -
September 14, 2009Rather surprising, didn't think I'd like it much, but had to watch it since it has 'Winn-Dixie' in the title, and that's my favorite grocery store.

April 20, 2012One of those movies that improves upon multiple viewings. The first time I watched it, my reaction was less than impressed; it struck me as a little odd. The second time around though I appreciated it for its genuinely good mix of emotion. The film has depth, something rare in... read more

July 9, 2010Oh, I liked Because of Winn-Dixie. I can ignore the many faults. Well, except that there's a difference between rats and mice, and for some reason, watching a movie where the characters repeatedly call rats mice makes it nearly impossible for me to maintain suspension of disbelie... read more

An unhomogenized combination of formulaic family entertainment and cornpone Southern fable. Full Review

Fans of DiCamillo's book should be pleased with how Wang has faithfully preserved the novel's clear-eyed depiction of both pain and joy. Full Review

Because is proof positive that nostalgia and dogs go together like Winn and Dixie. Full Review

Winn-Dixie has everything but the drama, and while that doesn't make it a dog, it never raises it above the status of stuffed toy. Full Review

Mildly diverting and way too long for a movie aimed at kids.
