Elizabeth-133-463684 I enjoyed the film. A lot of haters and mean people who write reviews, but it was very touching and enjoyable to me. Fun Holiday film that my friends and I enjoyed watching. This touching film is about a foster kid and a shelter dog. Jack is the kid who has been a foster kid in the system for years and he is about ready to turn 18 with no family. He ends up having to do community service and starts to connect with the dogs in the shelter, since they are in the same situation. Both of them want to have a family and home. Loved the story and it has a theme of having faith. It has a Christian type of theme, which not all people will appreciate, but we did. It is a good message for all kids and people. A feel good film! I personally dealt with a difficult childhood and I really enjoy positive films. Therefore, I would recommend this film.

rbwzensaint This is a good movie for a rainy day, or unwinding after a stressful holiday familial free-for-all. It's a gentle, amiable family film, so the kids and grandma will all enjoy it, and teenage boys will dig the chicks - especially the lovable redhead. Plus, there are plenty of dogs in it, which is a good thing, because everyone knows dogs are better people than people are. Reginald Veljohnson is an old pro, and the kids are fine. It has a "Southern" feel to it (I think it was actually shot in the Carolinas), which adds to the genteel charm. It has a warmth to it, and the writing is appropriately lean and unostentatious. I've watched it more than once this season. It's definitely worth watching.

Shawn Seriously terrible acting! The guy from Family Matters aside, and a couple others with small parts no one in this movie can act. The movie seriously has value to teach actors how not to "Act". The "Acting" at times was comical when it shouldn't be. Exaggerated forced emotion, exaggerated forced facial expressions, and then at other times the opposite virtually no emotion. It was just odd, and makes you feel embarrassed for them. I recommend this movie as an example of "acting". Acting is what you never want in a movie. You want natural, smooth, fluid human speech/reactions/expressions. This movie contains very little of that, and only gets worse as the movie proceeds. Enjoy!

cherylcarella My daughter absolutely loves animal movies, especially with dogs. The story seemed very interesting when me and my daughter read the info on the TV before watching. I was very unimpressed. From the very first five minutes of the movie, I wanted to change the station because of how unengaged I was. I made the dumb decision to keep watching, hoping it would get better. Dumb idea. It seemed to do nothing but get worse and worse! The acting completely ruined the movie. The actors sounded like they were just reading the lines off the script. There was no emotion what so ever, which is very strange considering the story line is very dramatic and emotional. The whole thing felt scripted and fake. I feel like I completely wasted 90 minutes of my life. I would not recommend this to anyone.
