How can anyone hate a movie with Gary Busey, an adorable little dog, cute kids, a beautiful family who love each other and God, and they get by on trust in God? It's a beautiful story! So, low budget or not, they did an excellent job at making it! The only thing I didn't like about it was the guards and how over-the-top dumb they were! They could have been made intelligent and made for a good chase scene for drama effect or something like that. And the music was nice, but it kept repeating throughout the movie. It would have been nice to have more really good songs. Gary Busey's acting is great, as is everyone else's. Jillian Clare is wonderful! And so is her on-screen brother! It is simply a great movie, and on the extras, on the interview with Gary Busey, I see exactly why he wanted this movie made,and that is an extremely special circumstance! What an amazing guy!

I show this movie at a nursing home I work at almost every night because they like dogs.At first I thought it was very awful. I love this this movie because it is pretty awful but in a good way.My favorite thing about this movie is seeing Gary Busey's goofy face. He's just so goofy looking in this movie. The camera shakes a little. The plot and story is good. If only they could of made it better. Maybe they should of put more time and money in it.Oh and I like the song in the beginning. It has many good qualities and a lot of things that could be worked on.

I had to watch this movie with my 5-year-old. He didn't laugh once during the entire movie...and he loves dogs and will laugh at nearly anything! This movie was horrible from all aspects: poor script (even accounting for a children's G-rated movie), poor production (the jittery camera shots made me feel nauseous for the first ten minutes), poor acting (perhaps they were "directed" to act cartoonish), and even poor sound quality (there are parts where the audio level seems fine, then you can't hear what the next actor is saying). I'm willing to put up with quite a lot when it comes to watching a child's movie, but this was worse than having a stick in my eye. I also didn't like being battered over the head with the god-heaven-belief thing. In all, it was the biggest waste of 90 minutes in my life...and I've done some serious time-wasting in my day!

While the dog was cute, the film was not. It wasn't the premise, or the theme that was a problem. The premise had great possibilities for humor and pathos both. The theme is a worthy one. Helping other people is more important than amassing a fortune.Sadly, the adorable dog, the unique premise, and the theme were undercut by poor acting, stilted dialogue, and amateurish filming.Even my youngest child who will sit through almost anything gave up before we had gotten halfway through. How many times can that dog run up and down the same hallway? I can't spoil it for you, as I never saw the end. It just was not worth watching all the way to the end.
