Eine tierische Bescherung

Cute movie, vote dog, cute couple! Not much Christmas but adorable anyway!

I'll admit that, after 15 minutes and the first commercial, I had to give up. To that point, almost everything was way too annoying.

This movie is definitely aimed at a younger audience with things to appeal to children. The dog is one obvious thing, especially given the annoying spoiled kiddie voice. Likewise the dog's "only me" selfish attitude.

The leading lady's daughter isn't much better. It's stereotypical teen 'tude, but it's overplayed. The same lady has a housekeeper with overly obvious impatience and disrespect for her employer's family.

All this in 15 minutes. I could see where this movie was going style wise and gave up.

I love Maltese so the fact that the main dog character was a Maltese was icing on the cake.

It was a very cute and fun movie. Obviously it's more for children and I think kids would love it. It didn't labor unnecessarily over the adults relationship and focused more on the dogs for the bulk of the movie.

I don't think that it was focused much on the holiday so I'm not sure I would consider this a Christmas movie outside of the fact that it took place Dorothea winter months. If there was much Christmas theme involved I can't recall it.

My main complaint is that it's almost impossible to find it to stream or find it for purchase.

A kid's movie found on Lifetime. A Disney-type talking dog movie and of course the little Maltese dog steals every scene she is in. No violence and little kids will enjoy it, especially if they are dog lovers.
