I gave it 6 out of 10 for kids, Adults a -3 out of 10 Kids will like this movie ages 5 to 9 years old. Adults will suffer through it.
OK, if you are a kid, this movie is a blast and enjoyable. If you are an adult this movie is bad, bad acting, bad continuity. In that of its self the movie is fun to watch for the things that can go wrong.
The movie starts out in a small town in Louisiana then do to a new job the family must move to New York city.
The dog throughout the movie is a "wonder dog", he can do anything. I wont say what so the kids and adults can find this out for themselves I wouldn't want to ruin the movie.
For some reason only one person has any type of accent in the movie. No one from Louisiana or New York has one. Even the "rap" song at the end is badly done with again no sign of an accent though "Manhattan" is supposed to be twisted that way.
"Jimmy" the owner of Rainey (the German Shepard) is bullied at his new school, none of these kids have a New York accent. One of the boys is obviously older and taller but later in the movie he is in the same class as Jimmy with no explanation given.
All in all this is a good movie for kids to watch on a day they are stuck in the house.
One review stated this was a "New version of Lassie", I would disagree, with Lassie she would bark and children and adults would magically discern what Lassie was trying to convey. While Rainey barks, he doesn't try and convey anything by it. Only through his actions can one find out what he is trying to show you.
If I were going to watch this with kids I would tell them to try and spot the mistakes in the movie (not what a dog couldn't really do but for example the magic green bucket full of fish, there and not there and there again).
Nice family movie.
