My Dog Skip
Summer Movie, July 17, 1:00 p.m.
Lonely, 9-year-old Willie Morris (Frankie Muniz) lives in the flea-bitten town of Yazoo, Miss. He stinks at sports and has no playmates. So, over the strenuous objections of his hardnosed father (Kevin Bacon), Willie’s mother (Diane Lane) buys him a dog that he promptly dubs “Skip.” Before you know it, Skip transforms Willie’s life: He makes friends, plays sports and develops an unbreakable bond with the spunky terrier. Based on a true story.
