try to talk the kid out of this one but get stuck see it anyway . this be another in a trend of kid movie where moral go right out the window . now and i like cute dog trick as much a the next person and but this movie take the cake . a building be break into and stuff be steal and numerous law be break and a work truck be repeatedly use without permission and adult be physically assault . but hey and they save some dog so all that stuff be cool and the kid do the right thing in the end . the acting be cardboard grade . and how on earth could a movie mess up pee pee and poop joke in a movie aim at child . i do not know and but this one sure do . in a crowded theater full of child and only a couple of them actually laugh at the toilet humor . that a sad commentary on the movie itself . when even the poop joke aren not funny to little kid . a numerous comment have already point out and the only thing this movie have go for it be the dog . i will give it three out of ten star out of respect for the dog . if the dog be go and the only thing stop this movie from get negative rating would be the fact that you can not do that on imdb . parent and if your kid love dog and i be sure there be good way to let them see a movie about them than this movie .
