WOW!!! We just LOVED this movie. We have a St. Bernard, so it was fun to watch the 'dog' in action. So much like ours!!
Kids and Mom and Dad will really enjoy this.
 Am I missing something? July 8, 2008

I enjoy the old Disney movies. "The Shaggy Dog" and "The Ugly Dachshund" are two movies centering around dogs that are really very good. But this? Am I missing something? This movie is terribly unsophisticated even in comparison to typical Disney fare.
The plot is not thin, just hard to buy into (yes, even in comparison to "The Shaggy Dog"). Apparently this traffic reporter goes up in his helicopter and can go on the air do his radio broadcast whenever he wants to, for as long as he wants to. The radio station owner tells the protagonist that unless he spices up his traffic report and attracts more listeners, he's going to be fired. Apparently the only thing on this station is the traffic report.
So when this dog accidentally gets in the helicopter and eats the protagonists donuts during the traffic report, it causes the radio station's listenership to skyrocket. From then on, the guy has to take this dog up with him during his reports, and apparently the dog barking and the guy saying, "This dog is licking my ear!" is a real draw for radio audiences. Am I really supposed to buy into this?
The script is amazingly weak. There seemed to be many set-ups for jokes that never happened. Characters are extremely undefined, really just watered-down Disney stock characters. We have the handsome protagonist who stumbles into silly situations, we have the nosy landlord, we have the beautiful next-door neighbor who fully supports the pursuits of the leading man. Even at the climax, when our two main characters are held at gunpoint, they treat the situation with such calm smiles that I really didn't care what happened.
Laughs in this movie are few and far between. It's at a certain level that you can't even laugh *at* the movie. And yes, you can tell that it's a made for TV movie, especially with the fade-out and subsequent fade-in on the same exact shot of the dog's face, a clear indication of a commercial break.
Okay, okay, I'm being unfair. It's a movie intended for kids. I understand. Kids will probably love it, especially if they like dogs. But compare it with any theatrically-released Disney movies, and this one simply doesn't measure up. Unless you automatically love every movie with a dog in it, pass on this one and pick up "The Ugly Dachshund," "The Shaggy Dog," or "That Darn Cat" instead.
Loved It!! July 7, 2007

After having this movie for 3 years, I just now watched it today. And I have to say that this movie was hilarious! This is a great movie to watch with your kids. You will honestly be laughing through out the whole movie.
Can't believe it took me so long to watch it!!!
