Simply Perfect
How sad is this?
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
a delightful non-heavy film of a spoiled Hollywood 'star dog' finding his inner dog through rough work at a fire station and a very strong minded little boy.this movie is not - i repeat 'not' high acting nor does it pretend to be. the characters are not to be believed as real. but are rather charming and a bit goofy. which (for me) drew me into this movie. my favorite is the firehouse cook!PLUS there is a plot of mystery with good & evil characters keeping the story constantly moving. the laughs are plenty with the goofy dog and often silly firemen.for lite entertainment and just a feel good story this is a winner!
Watched this because I like dogs. The dog itself was perfect - some sort of Irish terrier cross - very "doggy" looking. The story was quite good I thought. The nasty little boy turns out to be quite a pleasant fellow.......although I think he is meant to be adorable! Couldn't understand more than 30% of what anybody was saying, but that didn't really matter - they all seemed quite standard people with nothing interesting to say. The firemen were a sort of Keystones Cops bunch - a black person, a Latino, a woman and a blond chap who seemed quite stupid. Unlike other reviewers I didn't mind the relatively coarse scenes of the dog farting and snoring....I did however object to the scene where the dog has been reunited with his original owner who - to celebrate - offers the animal a variation on a group of hookers - three differently colored poodles! This really seemed vulgar and not particularly suitable for the children who are presumably the target audience - but then indoctrination can't start too soon!!
If you like movies such as Air Bud, and Top Dog, this movie falls in between. There is a decent story line. Decent action through out. And just enough suspense to keep adults interested, yet the kids don't get lost. Not too 'adult', and not too 'kiddie'. As well as just enough humor/comedy/suspense to keep everyone happy. A decent script. Under-rated acting. And the plot actually makes sense. The story line flows fairly evenly. Why can't more movies follow this simple formula? All of my family really liked this movie. We plan on watching it again. We even hope there is a sequel.
My son was raving about this film (he's 10) and suggested I watch it with him-which I did. Outside of wanting to smack the previous owner of Dewey (nee' Rexxx) for looking 40 and sounding like a 20 year old wuss reading from a translation book titled "How To Sound Cool,Dude" to impress the "cool kids"-I liked the film. Was it believable? No, but come on-neither is making a star dog do a stunt jump from a plane-one would use a stunt dog-IF they were allowed. I was frankly shocked that even the concept wasn't lit upon by the ravinging extremist groups. Anyway, we have the basis of a film good for kids: family situation-single dad firefighter dealing with also the recent death of his brother-which promoted him to Captain and his son acting out over this-we have Silly Animal-hamming it up with cute looks, well placed dog fart noises and of course defecation. and then the fish outta water-female firefighter who is an extreme tomboy, and of course-the underdog (no pun intended) firestation that-GASP! will be closing down soon due to the decline in the area. The villain doesn't have a waxed, twirly mustauche, however I think this is done to keep us from figuring him out-outside of the whole guilty looks, giant sign pointing at him. We even have insight for the life of a pampered dog (3 tri-colored poodles waiting for him-yeah..............??). The movie is watchable, and the plot, although cookie cutter Hollywood style, is OK. Kids do enjoy it, even if you get sick of the reference of the dog critiquing the Firehouse cook's food creations visa ve pooping on it, it is a cute movie.
