This is one of the worst movies I have ever had to sit through in my 54 years. Unintelligent dribble. There are 2 or 3 times that the dog actually interacts as part of the story. There is more script about the dog at it's funeral than in the entire rest of the movie. If you are looking for a sappy movie about a struggling writer this is for you. Notice I said movie, not story. I am still trying to figure out exactly what story was being told in this movie.
The story of how a stray dog, Pluto, comes out of nowhere and impacts the Davis family, who are struggling in many ways. In just a short time, Pluto the Wonderdog manages to save a toddler, bring comfort and companionship to a hurting 9-year old boy, help restore a marriage, and repair a broken father-son relationship. Pluto is not only a guard dog - he is a guardian angel.Yet and he freaking DIES.This movie is horribly written, the acting is even worse and the direction sucks. The guy who this is supposedly based on has ZERO talent.OMG here's an example Son: Pluto (the Dog) died. Father: Oh.OH?????This movie traumatized my 11 year old. Stay away.
This is a pretty solid movie. It is not as bad as some of the reviews here said and not as good as some of the reviews here said. Although my girlfriend liked more than me. Both of us teared up.
I'll admit I'm a sucker for dog movies and true stories, but I really loved this movie. It was a little smaller and seemed like it m Guy be an independent film, but that didn't take away from the emotional impact of it all.
