Un Natale da Corgi

This is not a good Christmas movie or a good dog movie. The scenes are awkward, boring and slow. The dog scenes are especially poorly done. The acting is not great but that could be due to the terrible script including some especially bad dialogue, even by dog-Christmas-movie standards. Hard pass.

I tried watching this as the premise sounded good - man hoping to surprise child with a puppy at Christmas and has potential love-interest look after the pup. It was just ok. I was more upset with how they were treating a live puppy actually, you could see in some scenes (just prior to the christmas bake scene) the poor pup was yawning and wanted to sleep - pretty sure it was missing its mum and/or litter mates. He then perks up when they finally give the little pup some food, poor thing wolfed it down. These observances tell me that A/ the film shooting was far too long for the pup - B/ the poor pooch was literally starved on set before they finally fed him in a few scenes - C/ nobody seemed concerned of the dog's welfare as they dragged it behind them on a leash while walking down the street. Honestly, I was very much alarmed watching this cute puppy being mishandled for the sake of a movie. Give this one a pass.

My family had fun hating on this awful film one evening, and we're diehard corgi lovers.

Even very very cute Kevin McGarry from the later seasons of "Heartland" and the very cute dogs couldn't save "A Very Corgi Christmas." Also, I very obv. wasn't amused that the main girl's cute bubbly sister who could have saved the film for me was a c word. :((

Unlike recent dog movies this one isn't saved by cute dogs. The story of two single parents bonding is tedious and boring. She has to work and the spoilt kid can't understand how a single parent puts food on the table. The leads are okay to look at though there isn't much romance.
