The Real Review

People are pretty down on this one. The story, about a dog trying to reunite his family for Christmas, gets called unoriginal and thin, with a few specifically calling out Dennis Quaid’s performance. The only bright spots mentioned are the decent-looking visuals and the dogs themselves, who are predictably charming. For most, it’s a forgettable holiday film that doesn’t land.
