Probably would have been a cute movie, but the acting is so bad it makes you cringe. The actors were so terrible, I couldn't even finish the film.
I watch a lot of films and some are so bad they are quite good, this does not fall into that category. This is just horrendous. Poor, very very poor acting, script was not good and the director must think he's the new Ed Wood, because he obviously doesn't think the audience care about details, like acting, script and editing. If you find a good review they are either lying through their teeth or was involved in the film. Although I would guess anyone involved in this film are probably doing other careers, because acting and film making is not their calling.
Really,such bad acting. The dogs were adorable (that's why it's not a one star) and you could tell they tried. They're the reason I kept watching. The humans were ridiculous. How does that even happen? It's like the script was written the night before and the high school drama club would have done a much better job. It could have been a wonderful movie and I hope someone rewrites it and either gives the actors more time to learn the lines...extra takes when they screw up and let them/hope they can...get into their characters more. I'm not all the way through it yet and I certainly hope everything works out perfectly at the end...that IS protocol for these movies after all.
The plot itself is cute enough, however the bad acting and bad soundtrack outweighs the pros of the movies
The plot of the movie was actually so good! Really cute and heartwarming, telling the story of a troubled teen that gets a new perspective through court ordered juvenile probation and community service.
However, the script, the production, and much of the acting was really bad. B rating at best. A lot of the blocking was off, the angle the scenes were filmed felt homemade, and some of the lines were truly cringe. I feel the story would do very well remake and a higher budget to get experienced director and production team.
I would watch again for the story but I will definitely be cringing through some of it.

- TriviaThe lead dog, Petunia, was actually rescued from an animal shelter to play the role in 12 Dog Days Till Christmas. She had very little hair initially, but by the time filming started she had grown back a lot of her hair due to the love and attention she received in her new home. She is still living with the animal trainer after the film.
