Pudsey the Dog: The Movie

I've seen many bad movies one after another, but this, THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST MOVIE EVER!, IT'S OBNOXIOUS, PREDICABLE, NONSENSICAL, DUMB AND ANNOYING CHARACTERS, A CLICHÉD PLOT, ANNOYING SOUNDTRACK, HUMOR THAT IS NOT FUNNY, THINGS FALL OVER ON PEOPLE THINKING THAT IT WILL MAKE KIDS LAUGH, BUT THAT'S GETTING OLD AND LITERALLY EVERY ACTOR IS SO BRAINLESS IN THEIR PERFORMANCES!.

Okay, I'll calm down but, this is bad folks, like REALLY bad, I like Pudsey, sure he's talent isn't anything special, but I really like what he can do and he's not awful in this movie, he's just having fun and I'm glad he is, but It doesn't really matter because the film is just the worst thing ever on par with Monster Trucks and Transformers Dark of the Moon.

If you want a good family live action movie, watch Paddington, that movie is the opposite of this piece of garbage and It's far better then this, so If you see It at your Tescos, Sainsbarys or Asda, just don't pick It and waste your money, buy Paddington instead, It's worth It.

But this, this will be considered as the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!.

This piece of garbage gets a 0.1/10!.

It's a talking dog movie - what do people expect?

Here Pudsey deals with no end of wacky characters - both people and other dogs. And then throw in a pig that thinks it's a chicken! How anyone can't laugh through this silliness is a wonderment to me.

Fun and adventure for a dog that wants to be with a good family and the dog becomes a local hero! That's how complex this story is.

It's a talking dog movie! Nothing profound happens here - it's all for fun and laughs.

Watch it - and go with the silly!

It's not just for kids!

I would love to say this movie was good but it was rather disappointing, without trying to be horrible. The story line wasn't great and I couldn't get my head round the dancing bit. I thought that the film would be good for young viewers, as in young children. Young children would probably like a movie like this and is rather like the buddies films in a way. Saying that, Pudsey is very well-trained dog and maybe if the story line was different, the movie could have been better.

My 7 yr old daughter persuaded me to watch this film with her last week. I was expecting to see a film that had some relevance to the reason the dog is famous in the first place i.e. the fact that it's a dancing dog. Although there were some scenes that featured Pudsey dancing & standing on his hind legs etc they were very much shoehorned into the script almost as an after thought & bore very little relevance to the story at all.

So why make a movie staring Pudsey the dog? The answer of course is very simple. If you are a singer & a star on BGT you can of course go on to make lots of money selling CD's & performing at live concerts. Pudsey the dog, even though he may have been taken to the hearts of the nation, is very much a one trick pony. So someone had the bright idea to cash in while he's still famous & stick him in a movie.

To be honest I did enjoy the start of the film, which has quite a few funny, if not particularly original scenes. I also enjoyed pointing out to my daughter the rear number plate on the white trailer, which is absent when the family set off on their journey, but manages to appear & disappear several times on the way. ( one for the Robert Webb show there).

Unfortunately after this the film takes a bit of a nose dive into a sentimental mishmash of Lassie, meets Babe, meets Nanny McPhee & the big bang, meets 101 Dalmatians. These were of course, with the possible exception of Lassie, all very good movies. (In fact I'm not ashamed to admit I was filling up at the end the Nanny McPhee & the big bang.) This however is not a good film.

So what's wrong with it then I hear you ask? Well it's certainly not the acting. In fact John Sessions puts in a very good performance as the pantomime villain. And Pudsey is, well, just Pudsey. The problem is the script. It is written by a guy called Paul Rose who as far as I can see from his page on this site hasn't actually written a film script before. What he has done is scripts for children's TV shows such as Dani's Castle, My Parents are Aliens & Sooty. Shows which are basically a series of quick fire gags. Maybe if there had been enough money in the kitty to employ the talents of George Miller (Babe)or Emma Thompson there might have been a different result.

My daughter, who quite enjoyed the film, asked me to explain to her what was so wrong with it. I told her that when she has seen as many films as I have & has something to compare it with, she might be a bit more critical. But maybe I am missing the point. Because if you're a 7 year old who can watch back to back episodes of You've Been Framed & laugh at people falling over again & again & again then maybe this film is just what you want to see.

The one thing that I can't stand about these kids movies is that they treat the children and us like idiots and nothing else.

The story is about a cheeky London stray dog, Pudsey, who is quite happy being a lone ranger, looking out for number one, until he meets siblings Molly, George and Tommy. After losing their father, their mother Gail is moving the family to the sleepy village of Chuffington and Pudsey tags along, to the dismay of their landlord, Mr. Thorne, and his cat Faustus.

Pudsey the Dog: The Movie sounds like a bad idea on paper. I bet the writer's of this movie were sitting down planing this movie and said to each other...

Vertigo Films Producer: "We need to make money and fast, but we are all out of ideas. Horrid Henry: The Movie was a flop and so was Top cat. Wait a minute! what about that dog that can stand on it's two feet? yeah Let's put that dog from Britain's Got Talent into let's give him a movie and let's make him as annoying as possible".

And after seeing it on the big screen... it's a disaster of a film. Pudsey the Movie is a film that will turn your brain into mash, because of it's awful scenes of humor.

The all movie treat's kids and the viewing auditions with no respect and I just hate it when they do that. The soundtrack to this movie (He's Got The Love!) is the most annoying, headache soundtrack that I've ever heard this year. David Walliams voice acting in this movie wasn't good at all. Walliams felt miss cast and they could have picked a better voice actor than Walliams. The directing was bad, the effect's looked really fake and cheap.

Pudsey the Movie is like a big middle finger to the auditions who love movies.
