I would love to say this movie was good but it was rather disappointing, without trying to be horrible. The story line wasn't great and I couldn't get my head round the dancing bit. I thought that the film would be good for young viewers, as in young children. Young children would probably like a movie like this and is rather like the buddies films in a way. Saying that, Pudsey is very well-trained dog and maybe if the story line was different, the movie could have been better.
What's with the haters??? This is a dog movie/ a children's movie, and a cute one, so why all this slamming? Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino are perverts, the makers of AHS are sadistic and disrespectful to foreign nations and people in general, Scorsese is cold as ice and consequently his characters are the same - but all you are bitching about is a cute, little dog who was in some talent show and then got a movie of his own? What in heaven's name is bad about this??? People really are sick. And the movie is a cute, entertaining, funny, heartwarming flick with - sure, some clichés (it's a children's movie!!), but also a lot of originality, innovative fun, great camera work and makes you smile and feel good - can't say this about the critically acclaimed and popular "filmmakers" I mentioned above!!! Best idea to give Pudsey his own movie, keep up with the good work!!!
What is the matter with people? This is a very entertaining film for children, I enjoyed it too. I agree when you know that it is a talking dog film, what do you expect? Simple and easy to follow storyline for all ages of children to enjoy and understand. The characters are not complex but are made interesting and it is clear that good can overcome bad. Pudsy himself. Is a bit underused as it is not a dancing dog film, although he does dance quite entertainingly a couple of times. The poor reviews that I found on here did put me off buying the DVD. I did buy it when it was reduced. Now I wish that I had never looked at the reviews because it is a much loved film and we could have been watching it before. It would be useful if the only people who reviewed children's films were the ones who watched with children and with children in mind.
Brought 4 kids to this movie today aged 4 -8. They enjoyed it, even the 8 year old who protested about wanting to see something with more action. Nothing mind blowing for adults, don't expect any intricate plots or complex characters but from a child's point of view, talking animals, slapstick and adults acting silly is perfect entertainment. My 4 year old boy especially finds the cinema a bit intimidating but he loved it.Story is simple enough, family relocating to rural area following death of their father encounters greedy landlord with evil plans. Landlord does not like dogs...you see where this is going. An afternoon well spent. Innocent fun.
