Pudsey the Dog: The Movie

When my kids were like "yeeaaah lets watch Pudsey" my first reaction was to groan inwardly and try and find another film available that would be much better for viewing. But for the lack of films available that we hadn't already seen I gave in and pressed play. And to be honest it's as not as bad as I first thought. Even though my bloke fell asleep while I watching not once but three times, but hey it's not too bad. There were some cringe moments and there were some funny moments. I don't think it deserves 2 out of 10. I think people have given it A low score due to knowing where Pudsey originated from, and it's got Simon Cowells backing. It's really not that awful, I've seen worse in kids movies and this is watchable.

Brought 4 kids to this movie today aged 4 -8. They enjoyed it, even the 8 year old who protested about wanting to see something with more action.

Nothing mind blowing for adults, don't expect any intricate plots or complex characters but from a child's point of view, talking animals, slapstick and adults acting silly is perfect entertainment. My 4 year old boy especially finds the cinema a bit intimidating but he loved it.

Story is simple enough, family relocating to rural area following death of their father encounters greedy landlord with evil plans. Landlord does not like dogs...you see where this is going.

An afternoon well spent. Innocent fun.

It's a talking dog movie - what do people expect?

Here Pudsey deals with no end of wacky characters - both people and other dogs. And then throw in a pig that thinks it's a chicken! How anyone can't laugh through this silliness is a wonderment to me.

Fun and adventure for a dog that wants to be with a good family and the dog becomes a local hero! That's how complex this story is.

It's a talking dog movie! Nothing profound happens here - it's all for fun and laughs.

Watch it - and go with the silly!

It's not just for kids!

What is the matter with people? This is a very entertaining film for children, I enjoyed it too. I agree when you know that it is a talking dog film, what do you expect? Simple and easy to follow storyline for all ages of children to enjoy and understand. The characters are not complex but are made interesting and it is clear that good can overcome bad. Pudsy himself. Is a bit underused as it is not a dancing dog film, although he does dance quite entertainingly a couple of times. The poor reviews that I found on here did put me off buying the DVD. I did buy it when it was reduced. Now I wish that I had never looked at the reviews because it is a much loved film and we could have been watching it before. It would be useful if the only people who reviewed children's films were the ones who watched with children and with children in mind.

The one thing that I can't stand about these kids movies is that they treat the children and us like idiots and nothing else.

The story is about a cheeky London stray dog, Pudsey, who is quite happy being a lone ranger, looking out for number one, until he meets siblings Molly, George and Tommy. After losing their father, their mother Gail is moving the family to the sleepy village of Chuffington and Pudsey tags along, to the dismay of their landlord, Mr. Thorne, and his cat Faustus.

Pudsey the Dog: The Movie sounds like a bad idea on paper. I bet the writer's of this movie were sitting down planing this movie and said to each other...

Vertigo Films Producer: "We need to make money and fast, but we are all out of ideas. Horrid Henry: The Movie was a flop and so was Top cat. Wait a minute! what about that dog that can stand on it's two feet? yeah Let's put that dog from Britain's Got Talent into let's give him a movie and let's make him as annoying as possible".

And after seeing it on the big screen... it's a disaster of a film. Pudsey the Movie is a film that will turn your brain into mash, because of it's awful scenes of humor.

The all movie treat's kids and the viewing auditions with no respect and I just hate it when they do that. The soundtrack to this movie (He's Got The Love!) is the most annoying, headache soundtrack that I've ever heard this year. David Walliams voice acting in this movie wasn't good at all. Walliams felt miss cast and they could have picked a better voice actor than Walliams. The directing was bad, the effect's looked really fake and cheap.

Pudsey the Movie is like a big middle finger to the auditions who love movies.
