Chestnut, o Herói do Central Park

This is a wonderfully acted out and well filmed movie. From the beginning to the end, it brings you into the film. Nor was it predictable. The actors, including child actors were amazing, not to mention the dog. The movie includes laughter, suspense, fear, sadness, high emotion, and so on. What the move all the way through. You will be happy you did.

The actors who played the parents in this film, were the model of two healthy parents that validate and allow their children to express themselves and learn at their own pace. By allowing this, eventually formed a natural, loving and caring bond within the family network. Something that everyone can learn from.

I first saw this movie on DVD when I rented it at Blockbuster back in 2009 and it was decent and heartwarming. The Story is decent, the characters are good as well, and the Chemistry between Chestnut (who is a Great Dane) and Sal and Ray is heartwarming and remarkable. If you like "Bingo" (1991), "Free Willy", "Shiloh", "Beethoven", "Andre" and "Monkey Trouble", you'll enjoy it as much as kids will and Dog Lovers as well.

I've watched this movie every single weekend when i was around 6-7 years old it was my favoritt movie i love this film with all my heart and it is a very good family movie.

My nine year old son discovered Chestnut first on cable but the movie was already in the last part. So we decided to buy it on DVD. First he watched it with his best friend. They had both tears during the running time because the story is told very lovely.

The wonderful dog Chestnut is the great star in this family film. We all spent a very entertaining evening and had to laugh a lot. Congratulations also to the director for his fine work.

The average rating here is too low and merits no doubt a higher vote. I give rarely a 10 but this time all the family voted clearly with 10 out 10.

If you have children or you are a dog fan don't miss this. You won't regret.

I watched this movie with my two toddlers (3.5 and 1.5 years). We all really enjoyed it. There's plenty of cute puppy action to keep the kids engaged, and the story (while predictable) was heartwarming.

The parents were very loving, the children sincere and sweet, and the "villains" weren't too scary. (It was nice to have a movie with some dramatic conflict without my toddler cringing because of scary music or scary people.)

I liked the elements of faith (it was subtle, not preachy), family loyalty, love, and forgiveness. People were willing to change, and many of the characters learned and grew and made changes in their lives. I found a lot of opportunities to talk with my kids about important life lessons throughout the movie. Two Mommy thumbs up!
