Il faut sauver les chiens de Noël

The plot of the movie was actually so good! Really cute and heartwarming, telling the story of a troubled teen that gets a new perspective through court ordered juvenile probation and community service.

However, the script, the production, and much of the acting was really bad. B rating at best. A lot of the blocking was off, the angle the scenes were filmed felt homemade, and some of the lines were truly cringe. I feel the story would do very well remake and a higher budget to get experienced director and production team.

I would watch again for the story but I will definitely be cringing through some of it.

My daughter absolutely loves animal movies, especially with dogs. The story seemed very interesting when me and my daughter read the info on the TV before watching. I was very unimpressed. From the very first five minutes of the movie, I wanted to change the station because of how unengaged I was. I made the dumb decision to keep watching, hoping it would get better. Dumb idea. It seemed to do nothing but get worse and worse! The acting completely ruined the movie. The actors sounded like they were just reading the lines off the script. There was no emotion what so ever, which is very strange considering the story line is very dramatic and emotional. The whole thing felt scripted and fake. I feel like I completely wasted 90 minutes of my life. I would not recommend this to anyone.

The good news first, the dogs are adorable (and I'm a cat person). That's where the good news ends. Even by the high held standards of made for TV Christmas movies this is pretty bad. Just concentrate on the dogs. They're adorable.

Probably would have been a cute movie, but the acting is so bad it makes you cringe. The actors were so terrible, I couldn't even finish the film.

Clearly this has basically nothing to do with Christmas but they really want to use that as a rope to pull you in. The plot and writing felt like it was written on a hungover Sunday and the cinematography was so bad that I'm pretty sure they didn't even check the footage to see if it was in focus or even level. The acting was The Room levels of amazing. It was stiffer than a corpse.

With all that being said, watch it with a group of friends and make a drinking game out of all the cliches. Have fun with it.
