Wonderful character development!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The first must-see film of the year.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The themes of death and reincarnation were too much for my 6 year old. She cried for 45 minutes after the movie.

Fluke seems like a light-hearted family movie but it certainly is not, Fluke delves deep into some fairly deep life questions. The film opens with a neglectful Father and Husband named Thomas who is killed in a car accident and is re-incarnated as a Dog to put right all of the wrongs he has done in his life. Along the way he makes a new friend called "Rumbo" voiced by Samuel L. Jackson who was also re-incarnated as a Dog and he helps him uncover what really happened on the night of Tom's death, which also leads him to go on a search for the wife and son he left behind. At first we are led to believe that Thomas lived a good life and was kind to his friends and family. Fluke gradually regains full memory of his past life and the more he uncovers the more he realises that he wasn't the kind and caring man we thought he was. Ultimately he comes to the reasoning that it is best for him to leave his family behind forever as him trying to change things will only make it worse and he will just get in the way of their lives.In essence, the ideas and themes this film delves into are really thought provoking. The musical score really helps to get you emotionally involved in the film and the most provocative idea comes at the very end of the film. Fluke is definitely a hidden gem and a very impressive attempt at a deep emotional drama from Italian director Carlo Carlei.

Having just looked at this, small, understated movie, I am totally knocked out by it. Here we have a movie that teaches us something about ourselves, life and love. It does not bombard us with visual effects, nor does it try to be anything but what it really is, a beautiful movie. From all of the actors,from the leads and even smaller parts, even the old bag lady, compliment this movie. Fluke works is so many ways, with a score that is matched with perfect photography. Special credit must go to the dog trainers and the director, it must have been such a joy to see this film coming together and completed into such a great and special movie. I fully intent to buy this on DVD, and to read the book. As an animal lover and a fan of all the adult leads, voice actors as well, this was a pleasure to watch and a movie that deserved to smash all box office records. Yet even if it did not, I am sure it will live on in the memories of all of the people who have seen it, for many years to come, and will get better with each viewing. Well done Fluke.

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.
