ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

karmap80 This is a terrific movie for kids ages 8 and under. My son is 6 years old and it's so hard to find a movie that isn't a cartoon, but is age appropriate (meaning that he can understand and follow the plot). We watched this for free with Amazon Prime! Both my kids loved it (ages 4 and 6). He is watching it for the second time right now. It has a great lesson in the end. Obviously, if you are an adult and you even look once at the cover, you know this is not going to be an intellectual movie with top acting, but most kids don't care or need that. The plot is good, funny, and I liked the ending. The kid in the movie is great and likable. I recommend for young children.

aster812-995-102449 I didn't expect much, given that it's a kids movie and the DVD came free with instant tea, but this was just awful.It's a retarded, poor cousin of Home Alone. The script is tragically stupid, the acting is horrible. In fact - the dog is the best actor on this thing. I am a kind of masochist not to turn it off before it ended. Every scene I wondered - could it be any dumber? And yes, it could. It just got worse and worse every minute. I liked French Steward in 3rd Rock From The Sun. Here he just acts like a cartoon. Screaming like an idiot while chasing the kid... Plus - his two interchangeable sidekicks as cartoonish as he is.Plus, a major plot hole: a Labrador lives for 10+ years. The kid is about 12? And he mourns his dog that passed away of old age. His sister is about 16. And she's allergic to dogs. So the parents tormented one of their children since she was 6 or so to fulfill their other child's request. Way to go, mum and dad!Saying that the kids will like it is just wrong. Mark my words: treat your children like morons and they'll grow up to be morons.

Wizard-8 Whether you are a kid or the parent of a kid, chances are that when you watch "Dog Gone", you'll experience a severe case of deja-vu. Echoes of other movies - much better movies - will rear their heads throughout. The movie that it copies the most is "Home Alone", but this family movie also rips off "Caddyshack"! Maybe this rip-off could have worked, but unless you are a kid - a really REALLY little kid - this movie is tough to sit through. It's so broadly played by its cast that you can't get involved with the main protagonist and the dog that he cares about. It's also at times so badly directed and edited that it takes you a few seconds to realize what just happened. And I won't get into the bizarre casting of Garrett Morris as the town's police chief. As I said, maybe really little kids might like this movie, but come on parents, surely you can find something better to entertain your kids!

artpf The movie drags on and on and frankly the plot has been done way better before many times.The story is written very thinly and the characters are very much uninteresting.Adult acting is broad and silly. The movie don't really ever know if it wants to be a full fledged comedy or something else.Also, the bad guys look like cartoons.In all I'd say stay away. It's hard for even kids to keep their interest watching this fiasco.It's truly a boring movie. I can't even recommend it as background noise.
