A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale

This movie was so bad. The acting might be the worst I've ever seen.

Luce Lockhart wants a ruby necklace for Christmas, but can't afford it. A wealthy obnoxious developer friend offers to get her the necklace in exchange for taking her very large dog walking during the holidays. Luce really doesn't like dogs but she really likes rubies, so she agrees to do it. Along the way, she encounters an attractive dog walker at the dog park. Could romance blossom? Not if the developers (who happen to own the dog Luce is walking) bulldoze the park before it happens! Dog walkers from all over town converge on the park to find a way to take advantage of Luce's connection and stop the developers. Does Luce get the ruby necklace? Is Luz the Christmas miracle that saves the park for the dog walkers? Can dog walking lead to a walk down the aisle?

It's an interesting storyline when the dog shows up at the 23 minute mark until about an hour into it. Before and after that, the movie feels like walking your dog down the same road for the hundredth time to its predictable end. It's not the worst Christmas movie of 2015, but you might find walking your dog more enjoyable than watching it.

I kept falling asleep watching this movie at night.. it was boring ...but ... I decided to keep continue watching it during the day so I could stay awake and see if it has any significance to the storyline.. OMG the acting was so so so bad.... all around disappointed.... it was such a low budget movie.... it was cute ... I love dogs ......but maybe for like a 10 year old ..

I watched this a second time just to make sure I was judging it fairly. It's simply not very good.

A sample of the witty repartee Luce asks Dean a question Dead: Nunya Luce: What Dean: None of your business.

Middle school

Clearly a Hallmark wannabe, but it missed the mark.

Not exactly a bad movie, just disappointing.

The leads had a certain charm, Jonathan Bennett as Dean Stanton and Lexi Giovagnoli were a cute couple, they would have done better with a better script.

My Advice: Go ahead and watch it, it's entertaining, just don't expect too much.

Every year we are flooded with these ' Christmas ' films, usually made by television channels and this example is my first introduction to them. Maybe I chose the wrong one, and to a certain extent it does have a social cause at the heart of it. How to save a park from nasty people who want to get rid of it. Dogwalker's love it and lonely people love it and under the layers of cliche and endless dog caressing it has its heart in the right place. But sadly the constant smiling, and a cringe worthy romance makes it difficult to endure. The two leads do their best but swamped by Christmas tinsel and an awful musical soundtrack I felt sorry for them and hoped that fate would be kind and give them better roles. Everyone smiles and the utter and rather juvenile simplicity of how people really spend their lives is overwhelmingly trite, and the happiness factor is pumped up to the maximum. The men have to be muscular and third rate Prince Charming's and the women are suitably submissive. This is film as fast food product and like consuming too much sweet things it could induce addiction. Give me the bread and butter of those days outside of Christmas any day.
