At the Movies: Bring along your tissues to 'Lassie'

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Movie Critic

LASSIE

Director: Charles Sturridge

Cast: Peter O’Toole, Samantha Morton, John Lynch, Steve Pemberton, Jonathan Mason

Rating: PG for some mild violent content and language

Running time: 99 minutes
If you think it's time to work through some emotional baggage, or maybe you're just in need of a good, long cry, save the money you'd spend in therapy and go see “Lassie” instead.

Calling the film cathartic doesn't even begin to describe it. Bring tissues — and not one of those dinky purse-sized packs, either. This is 200-sheet, value-box time, especially if you're a dog person.
