    Predictable and overloaded with comedy
    This movie, about an abandoned dog that teams up with other strays to get revenge on his former owner, is a bad buddy comedy movie.

    How the production has trained the dogs is somewhat impressive, and the talking mouths on the dogs look good. The movie is not free of funny moments, but it is overloaded with coarse language and comedy, which are the main elements that leave me with a negative experience. It tries to be funny, but when it gets too much in every single scene, it does not speak to me. Unfortunately, the humor is not my type, and I think it speaks more to primary and middle school pupils. I rarely enjoy live-action animal movies, and despite that this movie stands out with its extreme coarse language, its plot and storyline are as predictable as they can be.

    While the talking dogs and their impressive training deserve a nod, this movie fails to impress with its story and humor. The predictable plot and relentless barrage of coarse jokes aimed at a younger audience left me feeling like this movie belonged in detention, not the theater.

    Had potential to be hilarious
    This movie would have been so much better if they had not used profanity and vulgarity to the extreme. The storyline of getting revenge on a bad owner had so much potential to be hilarious. Slapstick comedy would have been a better option. I kept hoping it would get better and the offensiveness would tone down. It didn't. After the mushroom and rabbits scene, I couldn't watch any more. In my opinion, if anyone has to continually use profanity trying to be funny, they just aren't funny and are too lazy to be original. It's a shame this storyline was wasted. I would have loved to have seen more Home Alone comedy used in this movie. The dogs were adorable and the voice actors are great comics. What a waste and disappointment!

    Not for family viewing
    Horrible movie. Grossly vulgar. Definitely not aooropriate for children. My family and i were very much looking forward ro watching this movie. Unfortuately, within one minute of the movie begining, the vulgar laced dialog was overwhelming and definitely warranted termination of the movie.

    This was extremely disappointing to my family and me. As the owner of a Boston Terrier, we were intriqued by the potential portrayal of a Boston Terrier in thIs movie. Wow... what a disappointment!!

    Rather than clean family entertainment, we were given extremely gross and vulgar fare. Disgusting is an under statement. Strongly suggest avoiding this piece of trash "movie" at all cost. The producers, actors, director, and anyone else involved in the production of this garbage should be ashamed of themselves.
