Interesting editing. Cute puppies. But wow, for a movie I thought was going to be a comdey, what a sad ending!!! Serious Hollywood what the H-E double hockey sticks!!
Truthfully, the beginning was weird cause it never really tired back into the story. The ending was strangle cause it just suddenly ended. There were spots they could have ended it before that would have keep the upbeat feel and made the movie stronger over all.
Really just an average movie.

Anyone who thinks this is a silly comedy and expect to laugh, this is not for you. That's why we don't put this one under "loads of laugh" category. Well, to keep the review spoiler-free, I can tell you that this is a very cute and touching movie for all the people out there with dogs and puppies.
Since I don't have one myself, I found a bit hard to bond with the characters in the movie, especially during the early stage of their new family, a lot of things just went pass you like a choo-choo train (you'll know what I mean when it comes to that), and then I can't stop asking the question ... How can he possibly do that? Well, that's the beauty of watching movie. It's only 2 hours and the director shows you what he wants you to see and basically skip the reality and boring facts behind bars.
Again, a solid piece for the ones who loves dogs but if you are like me (who just had kids and many crisis happening in life already), the movie either becomes your virtual dream out of the reality or it further reminds you how messy things can be when you start a new family. A 7 out of 10 with a "B" grade.
