    Oscar Nominee

    The breathtaking story development is beyond amazing, and the character arcs are nothing short but eccentric. The climax made me cry for the whole. Currently, I own 147 digital copies of "Guard Dog" (2015). I have made sacrifices for this movie, I no longer see my wife or kids because it cuts into my "Guard Dog" (2015) time. Part of the reason my wife has left me is because I am unable to spend time with my family unless "Guard Dog" (2015) is playing into the background. I have not come into work for 4 weeks, and my family and friends have been trying to start a intervention to save me. They've been trying to save me through God, but the only savior I need is "Guard Dog" (2015). "Guard Dog" (2015) provided one of my favorite actresses ever. Gabriella Dietrich made the best acting performance I have ever seen. She plays "Giggling Girl #2." The giggling she provides is so life-like and real that i actually believed she was giggling. The pure emotional performance that I witnessed from "Giggling Girl #2" in "Guard Dog" (2015) changed my perspective on life. Thank you "Gaurd Dog" (2015).

    Uh..... What?

    10 minutes into this movie and you can tell why I gave it 1 star... I would say that this is because it is a low budget film, but I think that would be too generous... a movie about a boy who develops an imaginary dog friend in order to cope with the death of his mother? Not Healthy. I wish I had another hand, so I could give this movie 3 thumbs down.

    So heartwarming it'll make you cry

    I was watching this whilst sick in hospital, it reminded me of when I was a kid and had an imaginary friend. This film is an inspiration to the both young and older generation.

    Low budget, but sends a good message

    The only reason I gave it a five is because I liked the morally right messages that it gives to children. The casting of the main character could be better as the kid looks Hispanic, but neither the parents or grandparents look Hispanic. That or make at least one parent Hispanic. They probably could have used a better sound guy or equipment as it is poor quality. The dialogue can be a bit dry and the delivery cold. This is mainly for children to teach them lessons of life, so adults might find it a bit of a bore. I believe it could have been scored better.

    Boring and just a bad movie!

    This is really hard to watch, it's a fail for sure! Bad script, bad directing and subpar acting!
