 SPLICEDwire | "Snow Dogs" review (2002) Brian Levant, Cuba Gooding Jr.
The fact that Gooding's gruff, weather-beaten birth pop (he was adopted by his Miami parents) is played by James Coburn demonstrates one of the ways in which director Brian Levant ("The Flintstones," "Jingle All the Way") takes "Snow Dogs" in unexpected directions within it's cookie-cutter story structure.
An instant "I'll show him!" animosity between father and son is what stiffens Gooding's city slicker resolve to stay in Alaska, leading to lots of sled wipe-outs down snowy mountainsides and other frostbitten antics that culminate in a blizzard-bound rescue during the climactic dog race.
Levant could have and should have trimmed a couple extraneous scenes that drag out the movie's run time, and "Snow Dogs" does suffer from elementary execution and ham-fisted scripting.

 Are We There Yet?
Piling on the pleasure, a pair of demonic children carry on director Brian Levant's (Problem Child, Beethoven, Jingle All the Way) proud tradition of featuring insufferable kids in unwatchable movies that will be popular enough to ensure that this grade-A assclown gets to continue to making them.
Levant's a racist and a card-carrying Neanderthal--and if he's not, he's actually something worse.
If he's not the retarded ogre that his films suggest he is, then he's exuding this gruel with a calculated purpose instead of just a moronic fecklessness.

movie review, Brian Levant, Ice Cube, Nia Long, Aleisha Allen, Philip Bolden, Jay Mohr, M.C. Gainey, C. Ernst Harth, Henry Simmons, Nichelle Nichols, John Witherspoon (voice).
Director Brian Levant's resume reads like a list of Razzie winners: "Problem Child 2," The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas," "Snow Dogs," "Jingle All the Way," etc., proving that he has a history of pandering to children rather than appealing to them.
Fortunately, for those who suffer through this mess, Cube's presence goes a long way in remedying that.
