I would vote 0 if that were possible. As we were watching this movie in our car, my 12 year old son predicted nearly every single event possible. The movie is so cheesy, we actually threw it out the window as soon as it was over. Every single event in the movie was horribly predictable. Half of the "plot twists" were completely unnecessary and came out of nowhere. Random things just "happened" and led to nothing. Overall i felt like i should gouge my own eyes out. Don't show this to your children; it can only traumatize, not entertain them. Even remembering this movie is literally painful. It is difficult to imagine the sheer stupidity and ridiculousness of the movie. The director should be hanged, and the actors all put out on the street. Whoever wrote the movie should get a life sentence in prison and be forced to watch this very movie on an endless loop. I am rambling, that is true; but one only has to watch this movie ONCE, and not even go all the way through to know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
This movie had some good qualities that could have been enjoyed by families in the 1970s or 1980s (which is the era that it looked like it was filmed, after all who dresses like that now or wears their hair like that?). However with that said, I do agree with the other reviews that the acting was deplorable!!! Honestly, why even make a movie when the acting was that bad??? Thankfully, we rented it at Redbox and only spent $1.00.
In summary, the plot was predictable, the acting was bad, the corniness of the entire movie was ridiculous. The worst part was they made it look like the dog did all sorts of things. Other than that, the dog probably would have received my vote for best actor in the film.
Trust me adults, if you want to rent this movie for your child...just leave the room while it is on.

Cool Dog is the worst movie I have ever seen. EVER. My daughter chose the movie which of course came from the wonderful collection provided by netflix. I knew within the first 5 seconds this movie was a low budget piece of junk. How do movies like this even get made??? My sympathy goes out to the dog more than anyone else; because unlike the humans the dog actually didn't have a choice in starring in this horrible, senseless, pointless, painful-to-watch movie. I have forbidden my daughter from watching this movie ever again as I feel that movies like these act as drugs and decrease normal brain development.
If it was possible my vote would be 0 out of 10.

The acting is awful, the plot is predictable. And excuse me, but when did Louisiana get mountains? The ONLY so called mountain in Louisiana is actually a summit called Driskill Mountain that is in reality a tall hill. Then there is the small fact that NO ONE even sounded like they were from Louisiana! I tried to figure out just what Parish of Louisiana they were trying to portray but as none of the main characters sounded southern and there was that mountain in the background it was impossible. The only person that even tried to sound southern was Kent Jude Bernard and he just had a very small part. Even my grandchildren got bored with this movie! Now maybe, and I mean just maybe, this movie would be good if you were having a bout of insomnia and needed something to put you to sleep. Most likely though it would just annoy you to the point of not being able to sleep so forget that idea! Just don't even bother with it is my advise.
My 12 year old daughter and I had a great time watching this movie together, not because it was a great movie, but because the acting was horrible! The "special effects" of the dog crying was one of our favorite parts of the movie. Another part that was really funny was when the boy's dad slides down the pole. Quality entertainment!
Christna Cambell the "actress" who plays the mean stepmother was the worst and as a result the funniest part of the movie. The boys father is the second worst actor although it was a close call.
I cannot believe these people were actually hired to act! I recommend watching it just for the purpose of laughing at its ridiculous acting!

- TriviaAt one point in the movie, the Cool Dog plays the piano. This is achieved with fake dog arms. Originally the director Danny Lerner had the Cool Dog play Mozart's Piano Concerto no 24, but after numerous takes felt that it didn't quite add to the level of realism he was trying to attempt with the scene.
- Goofs(at around 1h 10 mins) Rainy the dog clearly rips the license plate off of the kidnapper's van, but in the next shot the van still has the license plate.
