Whilst this film may have two out of the four elements of children's movie magic it has struggled to find itself a place in Child's heart. The creators are shameless in their efforts to present us with a wide variety of dogs and a couple of teens, to crank up the cute factor but I doubt even a child could care enough to get engaged. No effort has been made with the script, the producers know what they're doing and tick the boxes from beginning to end.
We watched this is a moment of Christmas movie madness and the frenzy did not end there, we went for broke and moved onto the sequel instantly. Now, it wasn't the stereotypical Christmas sherry influencing the comprehension but I think we were an hour into the film before I realised that the lead actress had changed since the first film. Good for her, cutting her losses whilst the going was good and heading for more fertile productions on the small screen.

Not wishing to spoil things we elected not to rush into the third film, the premise of Mexican immigrant dog/worker and the wealthy westerner dog/rich girl is lame, tired and barely gets off the ground but for the occasional dog smile. They're all awful films and the mixture of dogs and children cannot save them.
