kellyleighcrutcher I've loved this ever since the first time I saw it.That one character "Preston Price" is so stuck on himself in the movie. Carter Jenkins was great in the role.You know in some movies some dogs look and act like their owners? In the movie, Calvin and Tycho go great together. I like the scene where they run the obstacle course in the Royal Hound Invitationals; Calvin's riding the skateboard and doing all of the stunts and "Tycho the Terrible" (I love the nickname they gave him) is pulling him.I love the ending scene though where Calvin gives all of his Gotham Man comics to help the animal shelter and all of the dogs get good homes.

adorable-pizza I found this one of the most annoying movie in my LIFE! look the message is OK and how he is a selfish boy who be comes good by the power of loving a dog. Ahhhh. But everything else I hated especially the dog show the guy doesn't complete any of the obstacles in the race yet he breaks the course record. And the last one the dog doesn't do anything all you see is the boy doing tricks on a skateboard while the dog avoids the tricks and runs around them watching the boy do the tricks he should be doing. The evil running champ boy is about as predictable and annoying to watch than any other villain of a movie I've ever seen before. It is probably the best Disney movie that didn't make it to the movies that I've ever seen (that ain't saying much and that's mainly because of the dog acting) but easily the most annoying one I've ever seen and if it deserves any kind of prize it should go to the dog.

theguys1 The two Disney Channel movies that are the absolute best are Tru Confessions and Life is Ruff. This has a great story about a selfish kid named Calvin (Kyle Massey) who collects Gotham Man comics and to receive the first ever comic of the Gotham Man comic series, he has to learn responsibility by teaching a big dog new tricks. This movie reminds me of Air Bud and Shiloh, except that those are dramas and this is a first-rate comedy that hits high on my account. If you miss this movie, you'll really be missing something you can watch and enjoy with friends, because they will all be talking about it afterward. The only dog movie that could ever top this one is My Dog Skip. 10/10*

mandilynne1990 This was a really good movie, and I'm glad I watched it. It has some good funny parts, and you can kind of tell what who Calvin's going to ask to the dance at the beginning. One of the best characters, I thought, was Emily Watson-Kay Panabaker. She really played that part quite well, showing compassion for the dog as well as the anger you would expect from someone who really cares about the animals she takes care of. I also liked Figg for good comic relief. Preston Price was definitely the mean kid you would expect, what with the way he dresses. You could tell at the basketball game that he was going to be trouble because of how big-headed he is.One last thing: At the beginning, it reminded me of Oliver and Company (with the little kitty). You'll have to watch to find out!
