Fluke is directed by Carlo Carlei who also co-adapts the screenplay with James Carrington from the novel written by James Herbert. It stars Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Nancy Travis, Ron Perlman, Bill Cobbs, Jon Polito and Samuel L. Jackson. Music is scored by Carlo Siliotto and cinematography by Raffaele Mertes.Workaholic Thomas Johnson is killed in an auto accident and is reincarnated as a dog. As he grows from pup to adult dog he starts to remembering things from his human life and sets about piecing together exactly who he was and what happened to him.It was a box office flop, a hard sell anyway with its cross genre themes, but MGM didn't know how to market it. Was it an animal adventure for the kids? A family drama message movie? Or a metaphysical bit of dalliance? Truth is is that it is all three, an engagingly thoughtful movie that is flavoured by fantastical whimsy whilst also beating a poetic heart. There's humour in here, too, especially when Fluke teams up with the wise and shaggy Rumbo (Jackson). But predominantly picture is about emotional beats, sitting in that void between genuine warmth and tragedy. It's unashamedly sentimental, but that's a good thing, and it's not just confined to the animal aspects of the story, this is still a very real human drama. The messages within are handled with care, there's no beating us over the head here.Director Carlei disappeared from Hollywood after the failure of Fluke, which is a shame since he crafts a great picture of strength. His dog POV camera work is smart in bringing us into Fluke's world, and many shots are gorgeously framed and filmed by director and photographer alike. It's also admirable in how he handles the excellent canine actors (Comet as Fluke is mightily impressive and expressive), it's no disgrace to the human actors to say the canines own the movie. There's some implausibilities, obviously, and one or two moments are too surreal for their own good; a laboratory break out sequence is cheer worthy but Carlei overdoes it, but this is still a lovely and interesting movie. Just like the great John Herbert's novel is for adults, so is the film. You can watch it with the kids for sure, so long as you have the fortitude to discuss with them the film's inner workings. 8/10

i loved this movie so much that at some points in the movie i started to cry cause it was so sad i would recommend this movie to dog lovers i liked this movie because it was my type of movie and i liked it and so did my grandma who bought the movie for me i was so happy to get it that i watched it the first day i got it and now i have seen it twice on TV and i have seen it like eight times at home i was so happy and so sad at times but then i remembered that it was only a movie and that nothing was real like the two car crashes and how tom died and came back as a dog and how Rumbo died and came back as a Squrriel and how Bella dies in the movie i think that the puppy at the end of the movie was Bella coming back to life again.

You gotta love this movie if you love dogs. I have a golden retriever, and the stuff this dog does in the movie reminds me of my dog.1. In the junkyard, when he dials the phone, and his wife answers, and FLUKE licks the receiver.2. Fluke gets out of the laundry room, and goes upstairs and see's his kid with the covers off, he grabs the covers with his mouth and covers him up.3. Fluke goes into his wife's bedroom, stares at her, she's still sleeping on her side of the bed, when she wakes up and turns over, Fluke is laying right by her.GREAT
