2012) Rufus DRAMA/ HORROR

At the opening, an elderly lady kills herself by walking on front of a fast moving truck while teenage boy, Rufus looks on, standing and then waiting on a deserted highway. Because both viewers as well as the main characters are oblivious about Rufus's past history, he's then taken in by a sheriff, Hugh Wade (David James Elliot) and his wife, Jennifer (Kelly Rowan) to a small town, called Conrad. Coincidentally, both Hugh and Jennifer had just lost their own son who's about the same age as Rufus. Rufus even makes friends with the girl, Tracey (Merritt Patterson) that lives across the street from him. We get to know more about Rufus as well as the other characters as the movie processes. Written and directed by Dave Schultz was obviously inspired by the popular Swedish film from 2008, called "Let The Right One In", except that this movie kind of drags on like it's forever.

This is a fine teenage film for all viewers to watch. I used to have a Golden Retriever named Newton. He was the family pet. He was great and had a fun personality. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. This teenage film is great for dog people. The storyline of this teenage film was alright. It could have been stronger but it fine. The cast selection was fine enough. I am a fan of Jace Norman. It appears that he knows what he is doing whenever he is in character. He has got a huge career in front of him. The crew did an alright job in creating this film. This teenage film reveals to viewers that pets are an important part of the world of today. This is a fine teenage film for everyone to watch.

I thought the movie was cute.....although I am an adult. My yellow Labrador Retriever was used as a back up in the film. One reviewer posted it was a Golden Retriever, however it was actually a Labrador. My dog is in the scene in the beginning where he is looking out the living room window.

Thus was my first introduction to a children's TV movie, but I thought it was well done and the child actors did a good job. I did think the movie would be longer in length than it was. The story line was OK, but there didn't seem to be enough interaction between the actors and the dog.

What to expect from a movie in which the dog turns into a boy, so it's quite cute for what it's proposed, cute, cute and watchable.... Let's go for both...

I expected nothing really when I watched this with my kids. But honestly we had a great time.

It's a nice movie. Funny and entertaining.

These days all kids entertainment is more propaganda than entertainment for children so it was refreshing just having a good time instead of having to fear that every ten seconds another lecture, propaganda or indoctrination is shown, looking at you Disney.

My kids loved the dog and after the Downfall of the latest Beethoven Movie this was actually really funny.

Like I said I didn't expect it to be good. I had to laugh several times.

The actors did a really good job. I liked the story. It's not just goofy nonsense it has funny moment and moments of friendship.

If you're looking for a movie for a movie night with your kids I can recommend this movie and Rufus 2 as well.
