Adventures of Rufus: The Fantastic Pet

I started watching this movie with great anticipation for an adventure, magic, and overall fun. The story itself is a good one. Unfortunately, the acting and the special effects are dismal at best. I had to force myself to watch this movie to the end because I wanted to turn it off about 2/3 of the way through. I enjoy all types of kids movies whether it be regular or animated or a combination. I could not, in my best conscious, give this a good rating. The only reason I gave it a 6 is because the story is good but everything else is lacking. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this movie is not worth watching. 😚

If Narnia and Harry Potter has a baby on a slightly smaller budget! That is what this movie is, a good distraction for the kids.

I know lots of cast and crew and execs fed their families off this production so I'll be kind. A job is a job this is just a poor result. Nobody specifically seems to be responsinke it just feels so off and Rufus is like a fake children's show character you might see inside another movie or tv show. It's all very absurd but the script pacing is at least bang on.

Too many movies with much larger releases do not handle pacing at all. It's like lamination work. Removing one air bubble may produce 3 more.

To save Rufus' magical world, Scott and Emily must face many exciting challenges... At his grandmother's house, Scott and his friend Emily meet Rufus, a swashbuckling, furry creature who begs them to help

Now why does that seem so familiar? Because it's been done 1000 times before and much better.

For the right age this is an entertaining story. However,, for other people used to tons of expensive CGI, cinematography, & seasoned actors, it will fall short. For kids' who want to see an adventure story coming to life, it's fine. Adults who don't like this, go watch I Am Dragon.

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever sat through, acting was incredibly cringey and story was a mess, don't waste your time
