In this paper we present a theoretical model for the dewetting of ultra-thinpolymer films. Assumming that the shear-thinning properties of these films canbe described by a Cross-type constitutive equation, we analyze the frontmorphology of the dewetting film, and characterize the time evolution of thedry region radius, and of the rim height. Different regimes of growth areexpected, depending on the initial film thickness, and on the power-law indexinvolved in the constitutive equation. In the thin-films regime, the dry radiusand the rim height obey power-law time dependences. We then compare ourpredictions with the experimental results obtained by Debr\'egeas {\it et al.}[Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 75}, 3886 (1995)] and by Reiter [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf87}, 186101 (2001)].
