    This film totally surprised me. It's a real story with real character. Often hilarious, tons of action and sentimental in a way that isn't manipulative. I really loved it and would recommend to anyone with kids, pet lovers, or anyone who just want to see an excellent movie that doesn't resort to bad language or meanness to make a point.

    Surprisingly entertaining for our whole family. After a corny beginning, I was surprised to find myself really enjoying the movie. This film had a combination of action and comedy that was timed right. Even the grandparents enjoyed this one.

    It's a great family movie - there's both action and comedy and my kids LOVED it! Nice to see these kinds of family films coming out now and not just animated flicks.

    The dog tricks are great, the cast is amazing, and i love what they've done with the female firefighters in this film...showing that it is okay to be tough and vulnerable. They are great role models for the 'tween set that wants to grow up and be strong but doesn't realize that it is okay to expose their more feminine side as well. I think it is Mayte Garcia who brings the character of Pep to life...and does a great job with it! Every kid I know loved her!… Expand

    I only watched this movie because I was captive on an airplane and it would have been too dangerous to leave the theater. Corny movies can be entertaining, but this one wasn't.

    A movie about a dumb-ass dog, a dumb-ass kid and people think it's good. This is crap compare to Are We Done Yet?

    I didn't like the storyline, and how did a dog become such a big movie star? There were a couple of chuckles, but it didn't really grasp me.

    I am completely disgusted at the lack of fire safety issues raised by this show. The boy in this movie is in fire situations and never once is appropriate in his actions. Not once does he crawl low under the smoke-of which little is seen and certainly does not show kids what fire is really like. The writers and producers of this show could have taken into consideration that they had an obligation to teach children helpful safety rules. It is unfortunate that not even multi million dollar corporations can take the time to protect our kids.… Expand

    Now I know why critics like Entertainment Weekly's Gregory Kirschling should be fired. He wouldn't know a good movie if he saw it.

    Not quite disturbingly forlorn, but forlorn (and overly literal) just the same, this latest entry in the doggy-acrobat subgenre of canine comedies has but one joke, and it comes early: In the Idol age, celebrity culture has gone to the dogs -- literally.

    No cliché is unturned, no "dog duty" pun avoided (get it -- dog doody), no creepy gay-panic subtext unplumbed in this family comedy.

    Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that just because we CAN use computer technology to give dogs goofy faces, that doesn't mean we SHOULD.
