Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

a delightful non-heavy film of a spoiled Hollywood 'star dog' finding his inner dog through rough work at a fire station and a very strong minded little boy.this movie is not - i repeat 'not' high acting nor does it pretend to be. the characters are not to be believed as real. but are rather charming and a bit goofy. which (for me) drew me into this movie. my favorite is the firehouse cook!PLUS there is a plot of mystery with good & evil characters keeping the story constantly moving. the laughs are plenty with the goofy dog and often silly firemen.for lite entertainment and just a feel good story this is a winner!

If you watch this with kids, I bet they will say they like it, and isn't what this is all about? I guess I went in with low expectations. The previous review I read from someone on here sounded like an insane person. The acting was actually rather good. In fact, point a movie out to me where Bruce Greenwood WASN'T good. The guy is always terrific. And here he is back with his "Thirteen Days" costar Steven Culp. This is a long ways from "Thirteen Days", but it is a touching and nicely paced family movie, even at 111 minutes. The dog was great. I wish the kid wasn't so bitter in every movie he appears in, but oh well. Give this one a shot, but don't expect "E.T.".

I just finished watching Firehouse Dog and curious I checked it's IMDb score. I couldn't believe how low it was. IMDb scoring is ridiculous. Priates of Caribbean: At World's End is rated high while this film is rated so low. What's the deal with that? Makes no sense. Other than a few stupid dog fart jokes this movie is funny and engaging both for children and adults. Enough action in the movie even to make a Die Hard fan like myself watch it with the younglings and be entertained and moved. Do not believe the IMDb film score this is a VERY GOOD Family film which parents will enjoy as well. And that's coming from some one who is driven crazy by most kids movies.

Spoiled pooch finds love and life with a kid who's dad is a fireman.How many times have we been there and done that? Low level family film is good for undemanding three or four year olds since odds are they're the only ones who won't have seen it all before. Not bad but why would anyone rationally (me included) subject themselves to the film? Okay the trailer looked okay, but as they say anyone can take 90 minutes of a movie and make it look good. As I said the problem is that unless you've been hiding under a rock you've seen this type of thing before. Add an unimaginative director and a cast that isn't spectacular and you have a movie that really isn't worth bothering with.
