Paws

I just saw this movie on my Satellite box, and let me tell you, this is as horrible as it gets. The dog in this film was cute, but the budget of $3 for this film made it terrible. Computer inaccuracies, horrible comedy, and fake slapstick are not desired by me. I wouldn't call this a "Great Aussie Masterpiece", but is a good movie for little kids, and sure hope that any Australian adults did not find this movie entertaining. This movie is also a bit of a bad example for children (e.g. the kid tells his step-father to "Go to hell").

Nice to see another great Australian film come out of our film industry. Acting was quite good for some unrecognised Australian(?) actors and an outstanding performance by comedian Billy Connolly.

This is the second great animal flick to come out of Australia in recent years. Napoleon (1995) being the other.

Is it just me or did she sound like ET in the beginning? I don't like to make fun of people, but... holy crap. ET. I swear. Is she TRYING to sound ridiculous?

The dog's pretty cute though. lol I was impressed by all of the things it did.

The whole 'talking' thing is more than a stretch, but oh well. The electronics were a little dated, but what can you do? The odd music when PC first 'speaks' is.. interesting lol. The constant rowling and making other noises to speak was cute.

I suppose it was a tad cute. I was amused by all the stuff Billy Connolly was saying as PC.

This flawed but watchable family comedy means well and essentially it is bright, breezy and good natured. The script has its weak spots, Nathan Cavaleri is rather bland as Zac, the story is rather standard and the pace is uneven a little too rushed for my taste. But the film is enjoyable thanks to a cute and appealing little Jack Russell terrier named PC voiced brilliantly by Billy Connolly and some inspired physical comedy and action. It is nicely filmed and the direction is not that bad. Sandy Gore has fun as villainess Anya too.

Overall, "Paws" has a lot of problems but it is a harmless and fun family film. I will say if you want a more adorable, heart warming and fun Australian family film I recommend "Napoleon". 6/10 Bethany Cox

The person who wrote in from Sleepyville seems to have been doing just that during this movie... sleep! I mean, if the great Billy Connolly's witty vocal delivery didn't keep him wide awake and laughing out loud, I don't know what would! True, the movie is one for kids mainly and there are a lot of inaccuracies, but it all evolves around Connolly's sterling work on the vocals. Not bad movie at all, enhanced all the more by Billy Connolly, the Scot of the Anarcich.
