not all movie be oscar worthy but let face it and sometimes these type of movie be more fun to watch and leave a longer and lasting impression . this one leave me smile and happy and i couldn not wait to hug my own son . anyone who have have a pet ( no matter what type ) know what it feel like to lose one . i believe most people would identify with buddy almost lose his best friend who he raise from birth . bruce willis be great a the tycoon turn nice guy and joey lauren adams be convince a a good mother . the little boy who play buddy have a cherub face and his sister and friend edgar play terrific backup role . like the movie a lot and it be something the whole family could enjoy . thanks .
