Just a heads up. Be prepared for a big mess. And well, some people can sit through things like this. I, on the other hand, have very low tolerance for amateurish type features in which throw a dog in as the main character to basically make a market sell. The plot is messy, featuring the divorced mother looking for love and all that blah blah blah. It just makes it such a mess that you begin to become annoyed very quickly. It's almost like : Lady, we don't care about your love life here. Just get to more of the dog! I would recommend a movie like Hachi : A Dog's Tale, Benji, or even Old Yeller. But this one is like a really bad Hallmark movie on acid. The dog was cute and all, but gurl .. spare us your love life drama. I could gag twice and die.
