Un Noël au poil

Just about as bad as it gets.

Obviously a low budget movie but my goodness the actors are abysmal.

Not fun, not exciting, not funny at all.

Dogs are nice though, hence the 1 star rating.

This movie is by no means a good movie. Most of the movie consists of weak dialogue, cheap cinematics and poor acting. Read until the end of the review if you're hesitant to watch.

Luckily, the last half of the movie has a lot of hilarious scenes. Similar to the Home Alone movies. All these scenes are super cheap and weird, but with the right mindset it can be hilarious. Some of them had the family rolling in laughter.

I would happily rewatch the last half for its stupidity and laughter. But the rest is not very entertaining.

For anyone who wants to skip the first half, here's a summary of what happens:

A family is going to their grandma during christmas.

They have 2 dogs, one of which is wrongfully blamed for ruining the house, and is therefore sent to the kennel during christmas.

Both dogs realize that their home is about to be broken into, so they both try to find their way home to stop the burglars.

One dog sets up traps, and the other dog finds a ride home.

The last half is similar to Home Alone, and is pretty much the only thing worth seeing.

I honestly want to rate this lower. I think this film is poor in many ways. But I do remember when I was younger thoroughly enjoying it. It would be too bad to stick your kid in front off and let them have a mediocre time.

This era of "CGI talking animated animals" does strike a cord with me as I liked watching these film when I was younger (like 10 or so), so I am slightly biased here. But I feel that's more so the point, it's targeted towards kids who don't need to have the same level of quality adults do in order to enjoy themselves and emerse themselves into a piece of fiction.

Any kid who likes animals would probably like it. I still think it's bad though, even now. So 5/10.

Trees with leaves in Wisconsin on Christmas Eve? LOL! Enough said! Bone is adorable, though.

HOME. ALONE. WITH. DOGS. WHAT WOULD MAKE IT BAD? Oh yeah it was made by the asylum? IT WAS TERRIBLE.
