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.

Whoever rated this a 1 is taking themselves too seriously in life. In fact, anything under 6!!!
This is a fabulous film, it's sweet, funny, and entertaining. The two little girls in the film were fantastic and it really does show the bond between people and animals.
For the type of movie this is, it doesn't get much better. Loved it!

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 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!
