ThiefHott Too much of everything

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

iamtricia Really,such bad acting. The dogs were adorable (that's why it's not a one star) and you could tell they tried. They're the reason I kept watching. The humans were ridiculous. How does that even happen? It's like the script was written the night before and the high school drama club would have done a much better job. It could have been a wonderful movie and I hope someone rewrites it and either gives the actors more time to learn the lines...extra takes when they screw up and let them/hope they can...get into their characters more. I'm not all the way through it yet and I certainly hope everything works out perfectly at the end...that IS protocol for these movies after all.

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!
