I was hoping for family entertainment that I could watch with my grandkids in a couple of years. Unfortunately, I bought the movie, and can't return it now.
It began poorly with an irresponsible move on the mother's part when she unbuckled her seat belt on a dark rainy night to dig for something in the back seat! I should have turned it off there...
The vet and her assistant were poorly cast as well. Cute girls, but way way way to girlie for the parts they played. Very unrealistic and annoying. What?....Used to acting on 2 1/2 Men???? Oh, maybe stay there....
It was also very poor taste to have such low pants and excessive skin showing on the vet. She had to keep hiking up her pants in a few of the scenes, and had some issues with bending or squatting. Not appropriate for this type of role or film dealing with a girl recovering from her mother's death, and having trust issues with her dad. (Not a future mom role). I've never met a female vet who dresses like this either.
I agree with other reviews about this having the feel of an animal rights movie. Waste of film time, and not important to the plot.
And for people who were sensitive to animals, they should have readily "listened" to the trusted dog when he seemingly barked for no apparent reason. They would have seen the hole in the grass and at least thought about what may have been wrong in the barn. Also, the reaction to put the dog down was WAY to severe.
This had the potential of being a "keeper" movie.....Now, I just feel like I wasted my money. Perhaps they could have a re-do to redeem themselves and send me a copy so I don't feel like I totally wasted my money.
