A stray dog and a 'little girl lost' become inseparable in cutesy kid-flick Because Of Winn-Dixie. Based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, it drips with down-home Southern charm, as does bright-eyed newcomer Anna Sophia Robb. She plays a 10-year-old tomboy who yearns for her absent mother and worries about her dispirited father (the always endearing Jeff Daniels). Both struggle to fit into a small town that seems almost entirely inhabited with rejects from a Harper Lee novel, like the scary "old witch" in her ramshackle house (Cicely Tyson) and the ne'er-do-well who's "not a bad man, just not a lucky man" (Dave Matthews).
