Clean and funny family movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. I haven't laugh that much in a long time. Cuba Gooding Jr.is an excellent actor. All the actors and actresses were great. This movie showed the beauty of Alaska. This movie showed how a lot of people live, not because they are poor, but they choose to live a care free and simple life. Dog mushing is not only a sport, but sometimes it is the only transportation to get from place to place. People in Alaska are wonderful folks. We need more clean wholesome movies like this one. I would recommend this movie to anyone to view.
