Christmas with Tucker

I Have Reviewed OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.

On all Christmas movies BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. Many reviewers have only have ONE REVIEW. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films. The only reason why I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen".

In this film the events follow a boy months following his father's death, a boy learns about responsibility, the loyalty of friends and the power of love through his bond with a special dog.

This film is very pleasant. It has a huge heart. The main theme of this film is "Adjusting" and "Tucker" is a catalyst for love and opening up.

The Grandpa in this film also happens to remind of my dad. (Which is good). I also love the fact that "KIndness in return" has its rewards.

I was surprised how much I liked this film. IF you love dogs this is a must see.

I love a touching movie. They always make me cry . I adore dogs.I had three English bulldogs. Butch ,Jock ,and Jilly. I also had a big SOFTIE Bull Mastiff called "Bounty." This movie brought back memories of my magical dogs. Dog's have a sixth sense. This film encapsulates trials and tribulations which through LOVE AND KINDNESS( GOD'S LOVE) ENDS IN HAPPINESS . It is so easy for others to criticise . If this movie doesn't make you cry and laugh then well ;that's so very Sad. I loved it!

That's probably because ;I am an old ultra over sensitive emotional Scotsman

Dogs truly are man's best friend. They are unpretentious, honest and loyal - and this movie proves it so well.

George's Dad recently died in a freak accident on the family farm. Unable to cope, George's mother moved to Minnesota while George stays in Kansas on the farm with his Grandparents, Bo and Cora McCray. When their neighbour, Frank Thorne, goes to jail, the McCrays look after his dog.

George immediately bonds with the dog, and calls him Tucker. However, when Frank is released from jail, he takes his dog back. Seeing how Frank treats his dog, George makes a plan to get him back.

There's actually so much more to this movie than simply a boy's love for a dog. It also teaches us valuable lessons. This is a feel-good movie for the Festive Season, and as a dog lover, the adorable dog off course is a bonus!!

Looking forward to a new Xmas movie. Especially one involving saving an animal as people need to learn, understand. Treatment of animals needs to change, improve. Abuse needs severe consequences. Enjoyed all until the one moment when an intelligent, grounded guy tells his grandson to give the dog back to a guy known to be abusing him, who left him out in the cold to die. Seriously?! where's the understanding, support. The writer and producer should know this makes no sense what so ever. No one would act like this in any way knowing this young boy had no idea what he had been asked to do. he wanted to save the dog. Stupid writing. The Xmas movies are getting to campy, stupid. Let's get it together.

I absolutely loved this film and it had been many years since I first saw it. The acting is mostly top notch; especially the main characters: Grandfather (James Brolin doing what he does best), Grandmother (Barbara Gordon) and Young George (Gage Monroe). Heartwarming, family oriented, great winter and Christmas scenes, and plenty of action. In all fairness, I must disclose that I'm a dog lover and even have a yellow lab - similar to the one used in some of the scenes (yup - I know it is supposed to be a Golden Retriever but I'm willing to overlook this continuity problem because most people won't notice.). I feel like the mother was added mostly for eye candy and that is my guess as to why, she is used in the movie poster instead of the grandmother who had many more scenes and played her role beautifully! Speaking of movie posters - why is the one shown here on IMDB a German version? All in all, a great family film and if it doesn't have you reaching for the tissue box then I don't know what will!
