Chestnut: Hero of Central Park

I first saw this movie on DVD when I rented it at Blockbuster back in 2009 and it was decent and heartwarming. The Story is decent, the characters are good as well, and the Chemistry between Chestnut (who is a Great Dane) and Sal and Ray is heartwarming and remarkable. If you like "Bingo" (1991), "Free Willy", "Shiloh", "Beethoven", "Andre" and "Monkey Trouble", you'll enjoy it as much as kids will and Dog Lovers as well.

Heart touching movie... I watched this movie long back in tv..but i didn't remember title i searched title using story line finally i discovered movies name... Loved this movie when i see it

I've watched this movie every single weekend when i was around 6-7 years old it was my favoritt movie i love this film with all my heart and it is a very good family movie.

I saw this movie Oct. 24, 2004, as part of the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, and I really enjoyed it. I'm not usually a huge fan of kid and dogs movies, and the flick is somewhat predictable, but it still tugged at my heartstrings. Without giving any details, there is a sad scene towards the end. I was sitting in a room full of kids while watching the movie, and you could hear them all sobbing. It was almost laughable.

The kids' acting is pretty good, the dog is cute, and the storyline is solid, as long as you don't think too critically about it. I'm guessing it won't win any Academy Awards, but I know lots of children who would really enjoy it, and I'd guess it will do well in the small fry crowd.

This is a wonderfully acted out and well filmed movie. From the beginning to the end, it brings you into the film. Nor was it predictable. The actors, including child actors were amazing, not to mention the dog. The movie includes laughter, suspense, fear, sadness, high emotion, and so on. What the move all the way through. You will be happy you did.

The actors who played the parents in this film, were the model of two healthy parents that validate and allow their children to express themselves and learn at their own pace. By allowing this, eventually formed a natural, loving and caring bond within the family network. Something that everyone can learn from.
