Fluke [DVD]

Being a fan of James Herbert , I was very surprised when I first came across this story as it really is a break fom his normal style. I originally read the book and was completely riveted and read it in a day. I stumbled across the film one evening and was pleased to find that the spirit of the book had been captured by the film makers . I have caught it a couple of times since so am delighted to find it on DVD . As other reviewers have mentioned it is a real tear jerker . The only disappointment to me was that despite the original book being set in Kent , England , the film has been well and truly Americanised. Fluke

"Fluke" comes into being after Matthew Modine is killed in a car accident.That's giving nothing away of the plot of this happy,sad,wonderful,childrens,family film because that part happens almost at the beginning of the picture.Then we learn that Fluke remembers that he had a previous life as a human and finds the need to return from whence he came to find his human family but how the hell is he going to get there when he isn't quite sure where 'THERE' IS?? Somehow he manages to enlist the help of Rumbo and between them they start on their epic journey, avoiding the dog-catchers, the animal-experimenters until there is a great tragedy forcing Fluke to continue alone on his quest.Stars(briefly Matthew Modine) Nancy Travis Max Pomerac Eric Stoltz Ron Perlman

The story of a man who is killed in a car crash and is then reincarnated as a dog who then goes looking for his family. This film is an American version of the British novel of the same name by author James Herbert. As with a lot of book to movie adaptations it loses a bit in translation but is pretty faithful to the source material, but the film does get over sentimental and has lost the darkness of the book. But is still an entertaining movie.

FLUKE WAS JUST EXTREMLEY BELIEVABLE AND HEART WARMING, A STORY OF HUMAN DEATH AND THE SPIRIT RETURNING IN A PUPPY CALLED FLUKE,IT TOUCHED YOUR HEART STRINGS IN PARTS AND ALSO MADE YOU FEEL HAPPY AS WELL AS IT HAD THE MIX FINELY PUT TOGETHER,I GOT THIS FILM FOR MY GOD DAUGHTER AND SHE IS 13YEARS OLD AND SHE THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST BRILLIANT TOO AS WE WATCHED IT TOGETHER SHE JUST LOVED HOW FLUKE CAME OVER AS IT WAS SO WELL MADE STORYLINE SO CREATIVE REALLY MADE YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT COULD HAPPEN.SO RATE THIS AS TOPS FOR A GIRLS NIGHT IN.

good film well acted out, my wife kept telling me about this film and I had never heard of it, after seeing the film I can say it is very enjoyable, this is not a kids movie like you might expect from the cover, though it does NOT contain sex or strong language, there are some scenes that are more of an older person content.This is really good watch and any who does not enjoy this must have a heart of steel.

Im glad i have seen this and everytime i watch it my eyes go like waterfalls and its as me and many always will believe in with our loved ones who have passed on and young max is a great actor and anyone who does not like this has no heart.think just what if and listen with a open heart forget what you believe and dont this film will bring many tears and i love the soundtrack dont miss fluke a right tear heart breaker

Loved the film and delivery

Good family movie

Una película muy bonita aunque la versión DVD tiene escenas recortadas a la original de VHS que tengo es lo que no me gustó de esta versión y me hubiera gustado una versión extendida o la opción de escenas eliminadas y estaría genial la peli...ahora es región uno si lo compran para México no se verá en todos los reproductores DVD o Blueray en mi caso lo ví en una PS4 y pude cambiar de región

Muy buena pelicula

Super

It's not a children's movie per say...it's not like putting on Barney or Barbie....I see it as more like a teenager/young adult movie, for the simple fact that for a PG film, it has quite a bit of violence and death. Besides young children wouldn't understand such strong adult thematic events, I mean it would be awkward having to explain something like this to a child. I don't know exactly why I like this movie, there's a magnetic pull, that attracts me to it. I was 8 years old when my mom bought the vhs for me back in '95 and I loved it!! I'm now 27 and I still haven't changed. I still love it, the only difference now that I'm older is, I understand it, which makes me love it even more. It can't be easy to practically be human in an animals body, experiencing human emotions such as love, sadness, happiness, hate, anger, jealousy, and regret....in a way it's a complicating story @ the same time, it's not. There are a lot of different themes here, learn to love your family and be there for them everyday, learn to be happy with who you are or what you are, don't judge a book by its cover, and learn to appreciate and love life, the way an animal does. I suppose that it can be a little disturbing to feel love and desire for a woman(his human wife @ one point) as a dog, in fact almost perverted, but then again this is no ordinary dog. As a dog it is impossible to assume the role of a male human to care for a human family...so he reluctantly leaves the job to his best friend, Jeff to care for them in the end. It's also possible for a soul to continually reincarnate like rumbo(another dog) in the beginning for example, as he is reborn again as a squirrel in the end. It is a strange form of immortality, but there you go. It's one of those films, where you'll never look @ your pet the same way again, especially a dog...one of the other things I love about this film, is the orchestra composition, the music is beautiful in my opinion, and I downloaded some tracks on my phone, which I enjoy listening to, and makes me think about fluke. Anyway, the beginning is kind of cute with the pups, and ridiculous in terms of the humor, I personally thought the film got better, when he journeys to his home town Hopewell. But without the beginning, you wouldn't know the end. 😉 so if you like dogs, me I love dogs, and you like a lot of drama, you will like this...probably. Thank you!
