This movie is a complete waste of money, unless you enjoy dogs humbing and cussing. Some may try to intellectually describe the benefit, but if the producers had the courage they would put real characters, not dogs to get the message across. The only movie I actually walked out of after only about 30 minutes. I suspect the good reviews are from those benefiting from the movie. Think of an x rated movie with dogs as the characters, and you have strays.
