But half-nekkid men playing volleyball!

Sadly, though, one of those men was Tom Cruise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not a talking dog. It's a smiling dog. A very inspirational smiling dog, and it made me want to throw up.

I'd just like to point out that Winn-Dixie is a supermarket chain in New Orleans. Or used to be.

The supermarket's in the story.

Oh, good. Otherwise, it'd just be weird.

I should have know there was a reason behind the run on Because of Winn Dixie at the library.

Yep, Dana. In the story, the girl, whose mom had died and whose pastor father moves her into a new town where she can't make any friends, is followed home from the Winn-Dixie by this dog who she then names Winn-Dixie.

A very inspirational smiling dog, and it made me want to throw up.

Hmmm... smiling is even a little bit much. Would it make you feel better, ita, to know that the dog dies in the end? Cause that's what happens.

It's something, Kat, but I'd have preferred it at the beginning -- like the first time the fucker smiles.

Does it smile in the book? The trailer felt like a series of people going "Gosh! The dog smiled!"

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Kat: Oh, of course it does. Man, you just never want to be a dog in a kids' book, do you?
