Ace of Hearts

This was a wonderful movie for the whole family. There was no profanity and very little violence. If you like dogs, you'll like this movie. My husband said "I don't know why there can't be more movies like that one". It kept all four of us, Mom, Dad, husband and me totally interested right up to the very end. I am usually doing some kind of project while we watch a movie, but my project didn't get much accomplished during this one. We all felt the acting was good and Ace was great. Police dogs have to be very well trained and this one really fits the bill. It would have been nice to know where the story was supposedly taking place. We figured out it was in the State of Washington because they talked about Spokane and Wenatchee but never could figure out where the Harding family actually lived. We all definitely give the movie a "Thumbs Up"

This is a great film for the whole family. We picked it up over Memorial Day weekend and it contains some really wonderful acting (Warning - I've been a huge fan of Dean Cain since Lois and Clark) with the little girl and the dog stealing the show.

The premise of the story is that the family must save their dog from a criminal that has framed it for a crime.

Although the girl must play a bit of a junior detective to save their dog, there is nothing in it (regarding the dog) that will make the kids cry or anything.

The movie is put out by FoxFaith and does have some elements of religion but nothing that is "preachy" or anything.

The producers put out a wonderful "Junior Detective Guide" to accompany the film that your kids can play along with on FoxFaith.com Again - I give it 9 out of 10 stars as it has something for the whole family.

This movie is bad! So bad it's hard to fathom how it could be worse. It's so bad it's funny. It's not even good in the made for tv category. The general premise of the movie is solid, beyond that it's garbage. The acting is so bad I feel uneasy calling it acting. The script is ridiculous and stretches incredulity beyond belief. Towards the end I was wanting to throw things at the tv. It's a cheap production, the sets are lacking, the lighting is amateur, the direction is also amateur. Editing is rough and the music sounds cheap as well. I had to apologize to my family for putting them through this miserable movie. Don't waste your time on it.

This movie is now (8/17/11) playing on Encore Family. I read the description and decided to watch the 1st few minutes to see if it was worth watching...it was. A heartwarming tale of a K-9 Police officer and his dog, Ace, who had saved his life before becoming his partner. The story revolves around the hunt for a serial burglar and the officer's family including 14 year old daughter who longs to become a police officer and gain her father's trust and respect as she plays detective throughout the movie. Ace tracks down the burglar but is accused of violently attacking him and therefore must be put down. It is up to his human family to prove his innocence as he does all that it takes to get back home. And of course there's the burglar who is free due to lack of evidence to take down.

A must see for families and dog lovers of all ages.

I really cannot imagine Dean Cain without tights. Every time I saw Dean, I thought about him busting out his Superman spandex costume and flying around with the dog. That would have been entertaining and made for some good laughs. No, instead we are treated to the most unoriginal and fatally flawed dog movie I have seen in a long time.

Dean has a dog, whom is his partner in the K-9 Unit of his local police force. He encounters a man, whom is believed to be a serial burglar. The dog takes him down, but gets blamed for an attack because there is no proof at the time to the crook and his involvement in the current crimes. You can guess the rest after that.

The whole movie is corny. Why couldn't they view the video footage until so late in the movie? Why did they let him go so quickly when they suspected him in a wave of crimes? The police can hold people for 24 hours at least until they view material in question. But no, it just gets ignored.

Of course, everything turns out super in the end. There are hugs, awards given, and Dean Cain smiles. But I didn't see anything other than that that made it worth watching.

Overall, this is a bad movie. Even Richard Karn and Kirk Cameron can do a better job than this. Dean Cain should be ashamed of himself. "F"
