I feel guilty for saying this movie is so unusually indescribably intellectually deficient due in part that my four year old so forcefully compelled us to watch in horror. It is like the worst 10 hours I ever spent dreaming within a dream of what happens in torture chambers. This is a must see for children that like it by themselves. I love my child. There were moments that reminded me of more entertaining movies like Elmo in Grouch Land that has something for everyone at least once. One thing I can say is that it gets right down to the action and my 4 year old went to the bathroom only once which in itself was a blessing and a curse. I heartily recommend Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Ratatouille, Beauty and the Beast and anything from the Jim Henson Company. I imagine that Ned Flanders would approve. Maybe, "I'm not thinking straight, why did I have that wine cooler last month?"
The acting is awful, the plot is predictable. And excuse me, but when did Louisiana get mountains? The ONLY so called mountain in Louisiana is actually a summit called Driskill Mountain that is in reality a tall hill. Then there is the small fact that NO ONE even sounded like they were from Louisiana! I tried to figure out just what Parish of Louisiana they were trying to portray but as none of the main characters sounded southern and there was that mountain in the background it was impossible. The only person that even tried to sound southern was Kent Jude Bernard and he just had a very small part. Even my grandchildren got bored with this movie! Now maybe, and I mean just maybe, this movie would be good if you were having a bout of insomnia and needed something to put you to sleep. Most likely though it would just annoy you to the point of not being able to sleep so forget that idea! Just don't even bother with it is my advise.
I would vote 0 if that were possible. As we were watching this movie in our car, my 12 year old son predicted nearly every single event possible. The movie is so cheesy, we actually threw it out the window as soon as it was over. Every single event in the movie was horribly predictable. Half of the "plot twists" were completely unnecessary and came out of nowhere. Random things just "happened" and led to nothing. Overall i felt like i should gouge my own eyes out. Don't show this to your children; it can only traumatize, not entertain them. Even remembering this movie is literally painful. It is difficult to imagine the sheer stupidity and ridiculousness of the movie. The director should be hanged, and the actors all put out on the street. Whoever wrote the movie should get a life sentence in prison and be forced to watch this very movie on an endless loop. I am rambling, that is true; but one only has to watch this movie ONCE, and not even go all the way through to know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Cool Dog - a triumph of the Nietzchean superman over New York's social inequalities that celebrates rural life in the Deep South yet nevertheless asks the viewer some PRETTY TROUBLING post-colonial questions.
I did come out of this film in awe of just how cool the dog was. He's even cooler than other prominent dogs, such as Snoopy, the Hound Of The Baskervilles, Ghost Dog, and Snoop Doggy Dogg. In addition to this, this film has inspired me in life, and I am currently working on a screenplay of my own. I'm working on a screenplay called "Uncool Dog", in which a dog does things that dogs typically do.It's 90 minutes of a dog scratching himself,urinating on the ground,lying down,jumping on people, sleeping heavily, being taken for walks and scaring sheep. Whilst this is a key work for the 21st century, I do still think we must bear in mind that it does raise some pretty troubling questions about the nature of cool, and may not be suitable for small children.

The only talent here is the dog and the kid. The rest of the cast go through the motions, but not convincingly.

- TriviaAt one point in the movie, the Cool Dog plays the piano. This is achieved with fake dog arms. Originally the director Danny Lerner had the Cool Dog play Mozart's Piano Concerto no 24, but after numerous takes felt that it didn't quite add to the level of realism he was trying to attempt with the scene.
- Goofs(at around 1h 10 mins) Rainy the dog clearly rips the license plate off of the kidnapper's van, but in the next shot the van still has the license plate.
