Best dog movie ever! I was mislead by friends who told me that the film was awful and it took me quite awhile to realize that the DVD was sitting at my couch and I decided to give it a go. Film was fun, entertaining and cute. I had a great big laugh throughout the movie and I can't get my eyes away from those cute cute dogs. I have no idea how long the producers had to train the dogs to be in this film but they have certainly trained them extremely well!! Cant say more but CUTE. Perfect for kids and parents. As a big fan of 'FRIENDS', I didn't know that Lisa Kudrow was in the film. A real funny character in there (although she was a terrible foster mum). But overall, good good film. Strongly recommended:)

Saw this movie opening night. Took 5 kids and my wife and sis-in-law. all of us enjoyed it. very clean. enjoyable. hilarious at times and well written.I normally hate child actors, but for once i was not annoyed. Emma Roberts is gorgeous. at 23, she looks young, but has moments in which she gives a glimpse of wisdom. her younger brother in the movie was very tolerable, and in fact delivered some excellent subtlety. neither over acted.the social worker couple were very good while Lisa kudrow continues to amaze me that she even has a career. OK, now the part that matters: the dogs were hilarious, likable, and intriguing. the plot was very well done and for the first time in years, i am intrigued and eagerly anticipating the "making of" documentary on the DVD. excellent direction, pacing, and scripting.

I am shocked to come to IMDb and see this movie with a rating under 5/10. Certainly the film is not art, but it a nice family film, a fun film, a good time film. Kids (and adults) will enjoy Bruce's contraptions, and the film solidly encourages kids to do the right thing and stand up for what they believe in. Best of all, they do not clutter the movie with useless subplots. Any romance between the characters is a minor strand, there are no false arguments to heighten tension. The plot stays focused and the kids (and even adults) will have a good time.I *HATE* dogs, and I liked this movie. That has to say something.
