Right now this movie is rated 4.0 on IMDb and judged strictly on its merits as a movie probably deserves that. But we watched it and got a lot of entertainment out of it. Here's why.I remember Dean Cain mostly from his role as Clark Kent and Superman in the "Lois and Clark" TV series. Here he plays dog whisperer Theodore Maxwell, almost like the Clark Kent character, not good with words and clumsy, especially around pretty women. But he has a special talent, he can speak to animals, particularly dogs, and he can understand what they are saying.The pretty woman is Laurie Holden as Marge Maggs and we recognize from the very beginning that they will have some sparks.Jennifer Tilly has been in lots of roles but I remember her particularly for playing the blind lady in "Music From Another Room", and marrying the Hispanic man names Jesus. Here she is the evil Dolores Pennington who is out to get all the wealth for herself.Tim Curry has also been in lots of movies, but I remember him most for the 1975 "Rocky Horror Picture Show." Here he is the partner in crime, Caspar Pennington.So I enjoyed the movie mostly for the actors, watching them do their thing in a mainly inconsequential movie. But there is a story.The rich old lady has died and in her video-recorded will names her faithful dog Bailey as the heir, with Maxwell as the dog's guardian and handler. Jon Lovitz is the voice of Bailey. But the evil Dolores and Caspar are scheming to get all the $$Billions for themselves, while running an illegal dog breeding mill on the side. It is up to Bailey and the others to expose this and make everything right.

I only rented this movie, because it was Dean Cain's latest, and it was 99 cent rental day at work (I didn't wish to waste a Netflix rental on it). I didn't expect much, of course...and the movie turned out as I expected...an incredibly silly kids movie with an absurd plot, but fun and charming none the less. I was mostly surprised by the movie's great cast...Tim Curry, Jennifer Tilly, Jon Lovitz, Laurie Holden, and of course, Dean Cain; not the type of cast you'd expect from a straight-to-DVD kids movie about a talking dog (well, OK, maybe you WOULD expect Dean Cain to show up in random straight-to-videos, since that's ALL he shows up in, lol). They all performed just as well as you'd expect, and I think perhaps that set the movie apart from other movies like this one. The dog was adorable, and amusing...voiced perfectly by Jon Lovitz, and everyone seemed to be having fun, so what more could you ask?Worth the time, and the 99 cents...and I think kids will like it.

I was a teacher in a Hamilton school where the crew ate their lunches between takes, as scenes from this one were being shot. I wanted to see street scenes I recognized, so I ordered in pay-per-view for my kids, 10 and 6. They seemed to like it. I didn't recognize a single Hamilton location. Moreover, I couldn't believe how few jokes were in the script, how thin the characters were, how uninspired the plot and the performances. I like Mary Walsh as a CBC satirist and she's created and played some funny newfie characters, but it's obvious that for this movie, she took the cash and handed in a quickly-written piece of doggy doo doo. I think we've seen the last of Bailey. Bow wow!

When I first found out about this movie, I didn't think that I would like it because I have never enjoyed rated G movies. I find them childish and the ending is always about family love (yuk). But this one is different, its funny, entertaining, and I never wanted to take my eyes off the screen during the entire movie. Best of all, correct me if I am wrong, no one kissed in the movie. So I could sit back and enjoy the comedy without the weird feeling of romance. There's 2 things i didn't like. 1)Why not hire pros to do the kidnap? 2)Who would make the doors of an underground illegal business so easily found and even easier to open?
