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.
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.
The good news first, the dogs are adorable (and I'm a cat person). That's where the good news ends. Even by the high held standards of made for TV Christmas movies this is pretty bad. Just concentrate on the dogs. They're adorable.
The cast looks like it's full of a bunch of relatives of the casting agent. I love Christmas movies, but this is just B-A-D enough to compel me to write this review.
The main boy is a "lovable" foster kid, Jack, assigned to community service at a pet shelter run by 3 young girls -- not sure where the adults are. He has "anger" issues and a crush on the older sister of an equally angry redhead names Ryan. Jack is not only a terrible actor, he is clearly gay which wouldn't matter if they weren't trying to make a heterosexual love connection. To be clear, he isn't the only bad actor. The whole cast is terrible except for the probation officer. I'm not sure if is just the acting or the directing as well.
The movie is about 2 dysfunctional teens working together to get a bunch of misfit dogs adopted before Christmas. The "misfit" dogs are actually quite cute. If you can put up with the bad acting and you like dogs, maybe it's worth a look.

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.

- 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.
