Strange "movie".

The plot and characters are "normal", why does everyone watching it try to figure out what it "is"? At first I thought I had turned to the religious network that plays religious films- no, it's on the "THIS" network.... Ah ha! Directed by. Tom Whitus- who directs "faith and family" stuff. Now it makes sense! Actors I'd never heard of, formula plots dug right out of the trash from 1940s film cutting room floors maybe - In this "film" (sigh) there's a dog involved, a bitter newly paralyzed man, another family tenuously attached to that man, strangers and "love". Almost every scene seems bathed in a sickly sweet golden early morning light- like they do on the series "Heartland". . The scenes are too contrived, "crafted". Acting isn't terrible, it's just the entire feeling of the film is oddly nonspecific, you can't put your finger on why the film is just..."weird". This project isn't cheaply made, but the dialogue is banal at best. Best watched by small children who may benefit from life's lessons and moral themes.

Thought it was an infomercial

I was flipping channels today and came across this movie. I stopped for about 10 minutes and figured that it must be an infomercial. After some further flipping I went back and it was still there. I had to see what this strange thing was, and found it in the local listing.

This may just be the worst movie ever made. Each scene lasts less than a minute. It looks like it was shot on someones home camcorder. The dialog sounds like, well, a commercial! The closest thing that I could relate it to would be a daytime soap only not sexy.

If this were an infomercial for the KSDS then I would say, "bravo! great public service announcement." But, unfortunately, it appears to be a film.

Sweet little family film with the right message for kids

More Than Puppy Love is a wonderful little family film that I recently watched with a group of 6- 8 year old children. The story is about a little girl who has to give up her golden retriever so he can be trained as a service dog to help a man who is paralyzed from falling off a building. The movie has such a great message for kids, about sometimes in life you have to give up the things that you love, and goodbyes are not forever. The acting and the camera work in the movie are not the greatest, except for Diane Ladd who plays this wacky aunt, however it did not bother the kids, they immediately wanted to watch it again, because they loved the dogs and the story.
