We watched this film expecting to enjoy it ~ but were sorely disappointed. Hoping there would be some kind of change, some kind of redeeming feature, we watched to the end ~ but no! It was disappointing clear to the end. I don't understand why anyone would enjoy watching it. Nothing but cruelty throughout ~ but I guess we were foolish to expect anything else, because they tried to tell us that with the title! We were unable to feel any kind of emotional connection with a single human character, we didn't care about even one. But we did enjoy the two plucky little dogs.
