I have to admit that the only reason I've seen this movie is because Craig Ferguson is in it. If you know his work at all, if you appreciate his humor on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, then you'll want to see this movie just to watch his hilarious antics. He's wonderful, as usual.
The plot wasn't that great, but there's a cute dog in it. What I liked so much about the movie is that I never felt that the dog was in any serious danger. Every animal movie seems to put the animals in danger - or kills them off - and I can't watch that kind of thing. This one was such a relief because I didn't have to hide my eyes or worry about the dog.
So, sure, turn your nose up at a low-budget movie that is for kids...but it's done something Disney seems unable to do: make an animal movie without threatening the animal. And Craig Ferguson could read the phone book and I'd watch, but he's over the top wonderful in this.
