Wordiezett So much average

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kalahan Bradley This film is probably the worst piece of cinema ever to walk among the earth freely, or at all. The acting is atrocious and is less than laughable, the jokes were woeful and the story in general was ridiculous, however there were also many small plot holes I feel need to be addressed. To begin, a whole lot of things the stupid dog in this film does, examples include, winking, turning off alarms, driving, playing checkers, wearing headphones (not over his hears), using a TV remote, shielding his eyes from the TV, and sitting at the dinner table with the family. To name a few. Also, somehow this little girl in the beginning of the film manages to fall OVER a rail, onto a bridge plank, HOW!? How is she that stupid? Also, the film managed to hit the climax in the first 20 minutes, where they played a sad song over a boy loosing his dog. WHY!? Why would anyone do this? This would mean that the rest of the film is just a dog finding his owner, which it is. Also, in terms of story, many small holes I feel need to be addressed, including, the opening sequence, where Rainy (the dog) walks down the street and everyone seems to know who he is, this in itself is stupid, as for some reason every person in the town seems to know the dog. Why? Why do so many people care about this one German Sheppard and like it so much? Also, some horrible direction I noticed during the film, including when the family tells Jimmy they are moving to NYC (which was filmed in Louisiana and looks nothing like NYC) and the child is sad for about ten seconds, then moves on to not caring immediately, I mean, this is hard to believe on the audience's part, I feel like the film's director could have just told the child to just pretend to be a little upset for the rest of the scene at least. Also, in the same scene, when the child is told he can't bring the dog to NYC, it is the most expected bad news I have seen from any actor. One more take would have been a good idea on that one. Also, a major hole in the story is that the entire film, the step mother, and Jimmy's father said that they are looking for a place that allows pets in New York, so why can't Jimmy just deal without the stupid dog for a couple of weeks? Also, the fact that there was no real character introduction, they basically jumped directly into the film's story, making it so that no one actually cares about the characters anyway, therefore making the film extremely difficult for any viewer to care about at all. Finally the last thing I need to point out, is a major mistake from the editor and director in the opening credits, the credits read "A David Lerner movie" WHY!? Would a professional call his own FILM a movie, credit sequences are supposed to use proper language not "movie", that is simply a massive no-no in the eyes of directors, yet he let it happen anyway. To conclude, Cool Dog is probably the worst thing to exist in my opinion, as it is ridiculously far fetched contains awful jokes about stupid things, was directed awfully, and contains so many story holes with some of the worst acting I have ever seen, and may hold the title for worst acting ever. It is astonishing how this film ever got released at all.

jsc0205 The acting is awful, the plot is predictable. And excuse me, but when did Louisiana get mountains? The ONLY so called mountain in Louisiana is actually a summit called Driskill Mountain that is in reality a tall hill. Then there is the small fact that NO ONE even sounded like they were from Louisiana! I tried to figure out just what Parish of Louisiana they were trying to portray but as none of the main characters sounded southern and there was that mountain in the background it was impossible. The only person that even tried to sound southern was Kent Jude Bernard and he just had a very small part. Even my grandchildren got bored with this movie! Now maybe, and I mean just maybe, this movie would be good if you were having a bout of insomnia and needed something to put you to sleep. Most likely though it would just annoy you to the point of not being able to sleep so forget that idea! Just don't even bother with it is my advise.

SgtPluck Cool Dog - a triumph of the Nietzchean superman over New York's social inequalities that celebrates rural life in the Deep South yet nevertheless asks the viewer some PRETTY TROUBLING post-colonial questions.I did come out of this film in awe of just how cool the dog was. He's even cooler than other prominent dogs, such as Snoopy, the Hound Of The Baskervilles, Ghost Dog, and Snoop Doggy Dogg. In addition to this, this film has inspired me in life, and I am currently working on a screenplay of my own. I'm working on a screenplay called "Uncool Dog", in which a dog does things that dogs typically do.It's 90 minutes of a dog scratching himself,urinating on the ground,lying down,jumping on people, sleeping heavily, being taken for walks and scaring sheep. Whilst this is a key work for the 21st century, I do still think we must bear in mind that it does raise some pretty troubling questions about the nature of cool, and may not be suitable for small children.

Tommy Nelson This is a horrible, horrible movie. Every agonizing second is so unbearably corny, contrived, and clichéd. The acting, the writing, the editing, the directing...everything here was the worst it could possibly be. This is not an exaggeration...this film (if you want to call it that) is just as bad as any other kid's film you're likely to see.Jimmy's dad just got a new job, and poor little Jimmy isn't allowed to bring his hero dog Rainey. So Jimmy, his dad, and his mean step-mother move from a small town in Illinois to New York city, meanwhile leaving the dog behind. Jimmy's new apartment is run by a couple of creepy and seemingly evil landlords who hate dogs and children. Meanwhile, Rainey escapes from the state fair where he was left back in Illinois and basically hitchhikes all the way to New York. Rainey makes it to Jimmy in New York somehow, and those mean landlords find out about it. Turns out the landlords are illegally selling animals on the side, and this dog is messing up their style. Ridiculous chaos ensues.The actors here must've learned their technique from elementary school plays. Jen Kober and David Jensen play the two landlords, coming off as second rate Home Alone villain rejects. Kober seems to be channeling Rosie O'Donnell for her overall appearance and voice, but even Rosie would look brilliant compared to this woman. The main kid here is awful, the dad is awful, as is the step-mom. Sadly, the dog probably gave the best performance, and even the dog isn't that great.Try to dumb yourself down for the next few paragraphs to try and understand the hilarity of the jokes. Uh oh, the dog is stuck at the county fair with the new mean owner. But whoaho, the guy falls over and the dog escapes. The gate closes and the guy has to climb over the five foot fence to get out. Derher, he fell down and we get a hilarious cartoon sound effect. Always classic. And then a bull farts on him...funny stuff. And then the dog, instead of running away, plays hide and seek, knocking over bales of hay on this guy, and being goofy. Then a cow burps...ahahaha, you can't write this stuff. Several fart and burp jokes are featured in the film, each one more clever than the last.The dog in this movie is funny. Not only does he save a girls life, he stops purse snatchers, shoots tennis balls at some punk kids, attacks some New York thugs, covers his eyes during scary movies, plays checkers (and wins), plays guitar, plays piano, orders hot dogs and pays the hot dog vendor with the dog holding the money in it's paw, finds his way to New York city and plays hide and seek Home Alone style pranks on several different villains at various occasions. When he attacks the NY thug, the guy runs off yelling "Mommy!". When he attacks the punk kid, the kid begs the dog for forgiveness. (Makes sense?) When he plays hide and seek with the idiot bad guys, they run into each other and fall over and trip all over the place. This is the type of humor this movie features mainly. Idiots acting like idiots, with not an ounce of cleverness or freshness, to try to get four year olds at home to giggle.Brain damage can occur three to four minutes after not breathing...but at the end of the film the dog must've been "dead" for at least five. And then he comes back alive for no reason. I'd almost give this movie a point for having the guts to kill of the dog and keep a little bit of realism, but nope, dog's alive, just apparently been playing dead for a few minutes to "build" the "dramatic tension". Just one of about fifty scenes that featured an element that made no sense, could never happen, and was completely ridiculous.The editor of this thing sucks big time. The film here is constantly being slowed down, which always looks horrible when it's not shot in slow motion, and everything just looks sloppy. And the sound editing sucks too. Animals making noises that the animals clearly aren't making, and people saying lines that are clearly stuck in afterward. The editing is about on par with everything else in the film, so at least it isn't letting us down in comparison.It's hard to even write a review explaining why this was so bad, because absolutely nothing worked here at all. There was not one moment that wasn't cringe worthy, except for a few establishing shots (the brief reprieve from the rest of this mess). The character motivations don't make sense and this is just a big sloppy mess of a kiddie movie. Do not let your children watch this filth. It'll lower their IQ.My rating: BOMB out of ****. 88 mins. PG for brief mild language, and stupidity throughout.
