I saw a really great family film today that ranks up there with 'Whale Rider' and 'Millions'. It's called 'Dumo'. Set in Africa, it's about a 12 year old boy that raises a cheetah from a cub to adult. The best place to get a review on the movie would be from Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times or Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune. The sad thing is that the movie is being released in Chicago prior to New York and Los Angeles as a test market. If it does not do well here it won't receive wide distribution. Hopefully on the heels of the 'March of the Penguins' success it will make it. But sadly the box office smash this week is likely to be the thought provoking 'Dukes of Hazzard' (my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek). At least check out the trailer and if it isn't in wide release, definitely look for it on video.
