“Buckley’s Chance” (** out of four) was a pleasant but minor children’s adventure about a mother (Victoria Hill) and son (Milan Burch) who relocate from NYC to Australia to start a new life; unhappy there, the boy runs away from home to the outback where he faces certain death but befriends a young dingo and they form an unlikely bond and relationship that saves both of them and brings him back home. Beautiful Australian scenery and a very cute dog do all that they can to enrich a very predictable storyline. Aimed squarely at young kids.
