Great fun! - By: H. MCQUEEN, 29 Jan 2008 
A 10 year old, a 34 year old & a 41 year old throughly enjoyed this film. Funny, feel good, original & very well done. Would recommend buying it.
A real croud pleaser! - By: Film Junkie, 04 Nov 2007 My soon to be seven year old son & I went to see this yesterday & we both thoroughly enjoyed it! The room was just short of full with people of alll ages. When I looked around everyone in the room was having the same reaction to each scene from laughter to the edge of the seat & everything in between.
The busy young star Josh Hucherson, who you'll recognise from Bridge to Terabithia & Zathura, stars along side some new & older faces that you may recognise from older films. His performance doesn't disappoint. He plays Sean, son & nephew to two of the senior members of Dogpatch, a struggling Firehouse & the house of Engine 55. When a flurry of fires happens in the area Sean's uncle is killed in the line of duty at one & Sean's father starts to suspect something sinister not realising how his son has been affected by the tragedy.
Meanwhile our supporting K9, the spoiled movie star dog Rexxx, is getting lost from the set of a movie he's staring in after a stunt goes wrong. After a narrow escape from the dog catcher he hides in a condemned building which catches fire. Rescued by Engine 55 our leads (no pun intended) are reluctantly thrown together. Cue friendship, heroism, some doggy mishaps that we've seen before in other doggy capers but who cares & some help from CGI & we have some very funny scenes!!
All in alll solid performances, good if not entirely original script & story, but still a fantastic watch - most definitely one for the family friendly shelf & alll ages will enjoy it. Mine's on pre-order. Enjoy!
**** MY 5 YEAR OLD RECOMMENDS IT **** - By: Mr. N. Carnegie, 23 Sep 2007 
We went to see this at the cinema today & at the end my little girl turned to me & said "that is the best movie ever", which is from Cadence high praise indeed.
This is a kids/family movie. It is probably best suited for a 4 to 8 year old audience but within that target audience it hits alll the right marks; silly, funny, sad & ultimately a very happy ending. Your kids will love it & I highly recommend as a Christmas stocking filler.
