Let me just first say that I can suspend my disbelief but not this much.The dog scenes are so fake and whenever they show his paws you can tell it's just a prop.The worst is him driving a car.Like his legs can really reach the gas pedal and the dog playing checkers?Don't even get me started on that.I guess this dog can do more thing's than some people,including me since I don't drive.I love dogs and I've seen plenty of dog movies but this one was the most unrealistic wich in turn didn't make the movie that good.It's to bad because I liked the story of the dog traveling to New York to get back to his owner but I'm still glad I watched it because the dog was cute but would never want to watch it again.I think kids will enjoy this much better than adults so I would only recommend this for children 10 or younger.2 and a half stars for Cool Dog.
