The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"As magnificent as the setting is, the dogs are more so. ... With the possible exception of Harrison Ford, these paragons of beauty, strength, intelligence and loyalty are as close to old-fashioned heroes as anyone or anything we've seen onscreen all winter."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"With this much emotional manipulation going on, Eight Below is supreme doggie porn — pupsploitation. "
