Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

shannonadams-03993 We've watched it twice because my six yr old thinks it's hysterical that the dog sings about pooping out Easter bunnies. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. The second time I was forced to watch this I timed the horror scene where the mother and daughter dye eggs that lasts for over 5 minutes. 5 minutes of egg dying with 60's porn music in the background. Yep watched twice to hear the dog sing about poop.

walter_fulmer This movie does not try at all it seems. The dialogue could actually have been arranged over a trip to your favorite coffee shop, the directing was horrendous, so much so I have real difficulty considering this "movie" a professional piece of work. There are multiple times while viewing that I can see shadows of the crew, see the boom, see actual crew in reflections, etc......Also, the continuity in this "film" is atrocious. When the dog is cut scened to make a comment on something, its usually in a different location, and you can tell by the furniture and the tile floor that he clearly isn't in the kitchen when he is supposed to be. The camera-work is amateur, and in one particular scene, it seems as if the cameraman left a handi-cam in the backseat of a car aimed at the head of the dog, and left it there on a bumpy ride, when the car is ACTUALLY moving. Now when the dialogue in this scene cuts to the human actors, and I use that term gently, the car is not moving. The lack of effort and spirit put into this movie makes it seem almost like a joke, or a film students thesis or something. I have a hard time even giving it the one star. I will say this, it was so bad that it kept me glued to my couch for the entire length of the movie just to see just how bad it could get. Call me a sado masochist.........

Amy Adler On the beautiful California coast, a lady author, Jennifer, is having a bit of a crisis. Known as the writer of a mystery series with Miss MARBLES, she has been just handed a tough new job. Within a few short weeks, she has to submit a children's book, An Easter Bunny Puppy. But, alas. Jennifer is Jewish and doesn't know much about Easter. However, on the plus side, the family does have a darling dog who narrates the film. Daughter Lucy completes the small family, as there is no father in sight. For inspiration, Jenn has her teen offspring dress up in a bunny costume and jump around, just as the new neighbors come calling! Wouldn't you know, there is two of them, a mom and a darling teen boy, Jake! Lucy is mortified! Fortunately the neighbors say they know a lot about Easter and they invite Jenn and Lucy to an egg hunt up in the camping site nearby for the weekend. This is just what Jennifer needs! Jake also unhappily relates that his own dad is in prison, having been accused of stealing a Faberge egg on display from the previous year's hunt, worth thousands. But, Jake insists his parent was framed. Once at the camp, Lucy invents an alias, twin sister Marian, to charm a couple of other boys and this becomes complicated. Also arriving for the hunt is a past participant, Courtney, a man who seems a bit shady. Since the Faberge egg has never been found, could two and two make Courtney a thief and a despicable framer of crimes? This is really not a terrible film but its certainly not a stellar effort. That said, the cast is fun and there are some good lines to be found. Also, the setting is lovely and the canine star is adorable. Tween girls would love it, as there are three very cute teen boy actors as well as one talented and pretty teen girl. So, if you have little gals in the appropriate age group, you should give it a once-over, at least.

DonnyMovieMan I saw this on Netflix. I watched almost the whole thing because I wanted to watch a bad kid movie. I knew it wasn't going to be good and I expected not much quality, but I found myself laughing at the directing rather than the story.This movie is so poorly directed it's a disgrace to people who want to work in the film industry. Multiple times the camera can be seen in reflections, once in a mirror, where the camera is on a tripod and they move the tripod for no reason into the mirror a bit, and then back out. A few times I could see members of the crew in reflections.Most scenes in the movie early on are conversations between the daughter and her mother. They speak about stuff that is not entertaining or engaging whatsoever, which makes me feel bad for children who are more than likely to become bored with the conversations. But the worst part is that the dog, who is hardly a character, is always watching the conversation, but the location of the dog relative to the other characters is NEVER established. Often times the dog is in another room looking around the room and at the crew and it's supposed to be in the same room. Often times the dog is ACTUALLY in another room. Because they filmed in the room before and you can see a piece of furniture from the living room from an earlier scene in the background when the dog is supposed to be in the kitchen. The only purpose of putting the dog in the scene is so that they can have something to cut between for editing efficiency. Every reaction shot of the dog is the same, the dog never responds to anything, it just sits there, sometimes looking at the cameraman. We never know where the dog is in relation to the people. The camera suggests that it's in one spot and sometimes we never find out if it was there or not. Sometimes a character walks out and the dog looks at them from left to right, but that completely disjoints where the dog would have been because the dog should be looking right to left.In one scene the characters drive to a place and the whole scene is filmed in wide establishing shots of the car driving, the main two characters talking about "who cares" as usual. And then we get a shot of the dog inside the car from a stupid angle where the camera was just shoved in the back seat. And if you look out the window, there's a tree. The car isn't even moving. They use this shot 2 more times. Same tree. The continuity sucks.There is one montage scene where the mother and daughter dye eggs that lasts for 5 minutes. It feels like 10. The camera dollys back and forth, poorly, over and over. It's slow, it's not fun at all, there are no closeups of the eggs, the actors are just talking about nothing barley having fun, and each shot establishes nothing that the previous shot didn't. They are dying eggs. We get it.Another problem is the eye lines. In one scene the mother is talking to her daughter. The mother looks to the wrong spot in the room. Her daughter is not over there, she's somewhere else. I mean this is like really simple stuff that could be fixed and should have easily been taken into consideration while filming.The story is generic as expected, which is the least of my problems. It's just so un-involving. It's really hard to care about what the mother and daughter are talking about at any time.If you expect something cute, it doesn't even deliver. The dog is pretty cute but it doesn't do anything cute and it's hardly a character. It mostly sits on the floor between conversations.The directing sucks. The director sucks. The editing sucks. The continuity is horrendous. The acting is mediocre but it blends in with the poor quality of the movie so it doesn't stand out as bad. I also blame the director for the acting. I know it's supposed to be a goofy kids movie, but kids would be BORED with this. It's not a fun movie by any means and the dog is barley in it and it's hardly about the dog.
