I thought it was a little much to have the dog defecating in the stew. The "anything goes" mentality in Hollywood is really bothersome. The "harem" of dogs for Rexxx was a poor addition as well. The movie would have been 5 stars without these two additions.

This was touching and had more of a plot than I expected. It is a great movie for dog lovers.

We have 4 children and this movie entertained them all. Aside from some inaccuracies when depicting Firefighting(my husband is Fireman) it was money well spent. We had a nice afternoon at the movie and a few good laughs.

While most mothers at the theater where I watched this movie gasped at some of the stuff in it(poop in the pot scene). I, myself, that it was funny. When you have boys, you have learned to take this kind of stuff with a grain of salt. Let your hair down and laugh people! I thought the movie itself was funny in some areas, quite serious in others. My 5 year old loved it of course!

I recently took my 2 girls - 4 & 7 to see this. My 4 yo was a little antsy at about the 1/2 way point but said she enjoyed the movie. My 7 yo really enjoyed it. I felt it was a little slow at parts. But other parts were really cute. There was only 1 "bad" word in the movie which wasnt' really a bad word and for a PG movie was age appropriate ("that sucks" was used in one part of the movie). The only other iffy part was when they wanted to cheer up Rexxx and he had 3 poodles in his bed waiting for him, fortunately it seems to go over the kids head. For sensitive kids the fire scenes may be scary (both my girls hid at one part of the movie) The only commercial/social part of the movie was was when the boy skipped school and lied to his fathers' friends about it being a day off and then his father punished him by taking away his PSP, Ipod, Playstation, etc. This was a refreshing movie where there were virtually no parts that needed to be explained away and no bad or unwanted language. Good family movie, I wish more were made like this!!
