elizabeth-12994 I would love to say this movie was good but it was rather disappointing, without trying to be horrible. The story line wasn't great and I couldn't get my head round the dancing bit. I thought that the film would be good for young viewers, as in young children. Young children would probably like a movie like this and is rather like the buddies films in a way. Saying that, Pudsey is very well-trained dog and maybe if the story line was different, the movie could have been better.
Jackson Booth-Millard Ashleigh and Pudsey became the first dog trick act (the second being Jules O'Dwyer and Matisse, not as deserved, due to cheating) to win talent show Britain's Got Talent in 2012, and performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance, and then they decided to give the dog a bone, well, a movie. Basically Pudsey the Dog (himself, voiced by BGT judge David Walliams) is a cheeky Border Collie, Bichon Frise and Chinese Crested powderpuff cross who walks off a movie set after being fired for causing havoc. He now walks the streets of London, but he is a happy stray lone ranger looking out for himself, but occasionally using his ability to walk on his hind legs and jumping skills to save the day. One day Pudsey meets siblings Molly (Izzy Meikle-Small), George (Spike White) and Tommy (Malachy Knights), he helps them rid of some school bullies, the three children take the dog home with them, but their mother Gail (Jessica Stevenson/Hynes) will not allow them to keep him. Pudsey is given to an eccentric woman who wants to dye his fur pink and do other horrible things, like she has to her poodles, but as Pudsey is specially trained he is able to open the door and escape, the poodles escape with him. Pudsey jumps into a white van to hide, this turns out to be the van moving his three friends to a new house in the countryside, in the village of Chuffington. The landlord Mr. Thorne (John Sessions), with his cat Faustus (Lorraine Kelly), appears friendly on the outside, but in fact he is an evil man scheming to destroy the house and the entire village to build a corporate construction. Pudsey stumbles upon this plan and tries to warn the family, but he caught and taken to the dog pound, however with the other doggie prisoners he is able to create a diversion plan, and they dig their way out. In the end the plans of Mr. Thorne are thwarted and he is arrested, and Pudsey is finally welcomed by Gail into the family and praised as a hero. Also starring Olivia Colman as Nelly the Horse, Jim Tavaré as Dog Catcher, Peter Serafinowicz as Edward the Horse, Dan Farrell as Ken the Pig and Finn the Dog. BGT judge Amanda Holden as Sally the Dog and Ashleigh Butler (Pudsey's trainer) as Anabella the Cow, she can also be seen in scenes towards the end. There is no denying Pudsey is an adorable animal, a dog who can dance and perform well, but his cuteness cannot be extended into a full length film, he is a bit of a one-trick puppy here, the story is predictable, the special effects for the animals to talk are wasted, and the jokes fall flat most of the time, this will certainly appeal to children and Simon Cowell, but many adults will be disappointed in this lacklustre family comedy. Adequate!
zif ofoz It's a talking dog movie - what do people expect?Here Pudsey deals with no end of wacky characters - both people and other dogs. And then throw in a pig that thinks it's a chicken! How anyone can't laugh through this silliness is a wonderment to me.Fun and adventure for a dog that wants to be with a good family and the dog becomes a local hero! That's how complex this story is.It's a talking dog movie! Nothing profound happens here - it's all for fun and laughs.Watch it - and go with the silly!It's not just for kids!
Matthew Luke Brady The one thing that I can't stand about these kids movies is that they treat the children and us like idiots and nothing else.The story is about a cheeky London stray dog, Pudsey, who is quite happy being a lone ranger, looking out for number one, until he meets siblings Molly, George and Tommy. After losing their father, their mother Gail is moving the family to the sleepy village of Chuffington and Pudsey tags along, to the dismay of their landlord, Mr. Thorne, and his cat Faustus. Pudsey the Dog: The Movie sounds like a bad idea on paper. I bet the writer's of this movie were sitting down planing this movie and said to each other...Vertigo Films Producer: "We need to make money and fast, but we are all out of ideas. Horrid Henry: The Movie was a flop and so was Top cat. Wait a minute! what about that dog that can stand on it's two feet? yeah Let's put that dog from Britain's Got Talent into let's give him a movie and let's make him as annoying as possible". And after seeing it on the big screen... it's a disaster of a film. Pudsey the Movie is a film that will turn your brain into mash, because of it's awful scenes of humor. The all movie treat's kids and the viewing auditions with no respect and I just hate it when they do that. The soundtrack to this movie (He's Got The Love!) is the most annoying, headache soundtrack that I've ever heard this year. David Walliams voice acting in this movie wasn't good at all. Walliams felt miss cast and they could have picked a better voice actor than Walliams. The directing was bad, the effect's looked really fake and cheap. Pudsey the Movie is like a big middle finger to the auditions who love movies.
