The Stray

The best thing about this film is the dog...we only liked the film when the dog was on the screen.. .bad acting, bad directing, but kids would love it.

I picked it up at red box just because the cute puppy on the box...this dog is not in the movie.....the adults are lame and worse than the kids....but then kids would not care.

Too much lame dialog and not enough of the dog

This should stay on Saturday movie shows for kiddie shows.

Please send copies of this movie to schools so kids can see it. They will enjoy watching stupid teachers lame dialog.

Putting a said puppy as milked in the movie...in a cage to small or locker for it....is torture.

Not for the dog but for adults watching this.

OK let's start by saying that this is not the worst movie I have seen. In fact I actually found it quite funny. However, the problem with this movie was more how it was made. First there's Mr Drone. Yes his name says it all! At the start of the movie when we were introduced to him he 'droned on' for what seemed like hours. There was no need for it to be so long! The filming was terrible! When the puppy was introduced it could have been shorter as well. More comedy would have been good. The acting wasn't that great but it wasn't terrible. The main characters were great and how the janitor kept popping in was good as well. This shows how kids from the same school that never get on can work together to achieve something. I think this is a one time watch. The kids will love it!

Unintelligent dribble. I cannot believe anyone could make this, then have the balls to put it out there to be seen. So full of script errors and dumb scenarios that it's insulting. It's a good example of what not to do when making a film...stereotypical characters...4x3...bad freeze frames. I seriously thought this may have been shot in 1988. But no, 2012. How does this even get an audience? I know kids who can make a better film. I have to write a few more lines so that IMDb will take this critique (equally dumb, but okay). I can do that. I can keep on writing how much this film sucks. The acting for the most part is bad. But that's probably because the directing was so bad. But then, it goes back to a bad script and a dumb concept. Have I covered everything yet? Probably have said more than enough, but let me count...hold on...oh boy, I have 10 lines! I can now stop saying how inane this horrible film is. I will say, I hope the filmmakers have since learned how to make a watchable film. Or, perhaps they've gone back to their day jobs.

This is a good movie for kids, it doesn't have all the worldly stuff in it that most kids are subjected to now. If you want a good wholesome movie for your child this is it. I loved showing this to my class at school.

This is different movie about kids go summer school. Chewy the pup wanders around in the school. Kids looking out for pup from the princple. It was good and funny. Kids' teacher might be boring but he's kinda funny in way and which he is cool later. Don't wanna spoil it.
