Review: Cute things come in small packages and this puppy has the cutes something fierce. However, a cute poster does not a movie make.

Trailer Rating: C-; B

Review: When I saw this trailer first in the theater, the Chariots of Fire theme gave me a bit of a snicker (the audience didn’t seem to share my emotions). When the preciously-cute dog showed up, I began to wonder what kind of kids film it was going to be. Then Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston appeared on screen and I totally lost sight of what the film could be about. This combination of events did not give me the desire to see the film.

More endearing and more explicable than the confusing teaser trailer. This film looks far more like a dog lovers movie now than it did before and while Wilson and Aniston don’t look like they are really up to the acting par they have been in the past, it looks like it may be a nice little diversion.

Oscar Prospects:

Wilson’s revived career may be short lived and Aniston isn’t about to earn an Oscar nod for something that seems so slight at first glimpse.
