Directed by Andrea Stewart
The true story of the Jamaican dogsled team comes to the screen in this documentary that follows twelve stray dogs from the streets and animal shelters of Kingston as they travel the globe in search of adventure. No one ever thought these weathered canines would amount to anything, but thanks to a mission spearheaded by pop legend Jimmy Buffet the dogs who once wandered the streets now have a new lease on life. In forming Jamaica's first-ever dog sled racing team, both man and beast will learn the importance of never giving up hope and always reaching for a brighter future. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"I suppose, there is not much keeping me from writing a review for this one where I try to make a case for both the good and bad aspects of it. But I am so inclined that "Sun Dogs" does not quite warrant that amount of open handedness to it. It is not easy to come down hard on a movie that was only just bad enough to come down hard on. What can I say, "Sun Dogs" just does not do it for me. It seeks to prove allot of things it seems; like how Jamaica can have a sled-dog team as much as " [More]

"This was a pleasant surprise -- not necessarily a good film, but more interesting than I expected Far from a cruel parting gift from Javier, this was an interesting, affirmative film, but it was both mislabled from a marketing standpoint and mismarketed as a sports film.As many of the film's subjects exclaim at the beginning of the film, Jamaica had a bobsled team, which became the subject of Disney's 'Cool Runnings', but " [More]

"Before beginning this review, a tip of the hat to sun dogs, aka parhelia, those common bright circular spots on a solar halo. Sun dogs are "an atmospheric optical phenomenon primarily associated with the reflection or refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds." Also, a little love for the Arizona Sundogs in the Central Hockey League and for a few favorite dog movies: snow dogs, rain dogs, desert dogs, moon dogs, straw dogs, stray dogs, " [More]

"I felt like I could imagine the connection between Chris Blackwell (founder of Palm Pictures and early signer of Bob Marley) and Rita Marley and Africa Unite. The connection that interests me is the one between Blackwell and Danny Melville and Sun Dogs. I'd love to know whether making that movie was just about the $$$ (because the movie is a glorified commercial) or whether Blackwell did it for the good of Jamaica. " [More]

"Sun Dogs From the sun-kissed beaches and tropical paradise of Jamaica comes a story of second chances. Rescued from the mean streets and animal shelters of Kingston, 12 stray dogs are trained to be the stars of Jamaica’s first dog sled racing team. The crew, spearheaded by pop superstar Jimmy Buffett, brings the unlikely meeting of a traditionally snow-bound sport to the sand and surf. But i " [More]
