Title: Very engaging family movie but beware sad ending
Review: I rented this movie not knowing anything about it, and I trusted the blurbs on the DVD box which described the movie as funny, not funny-sad, which would have been more accurate. I could tell half-way through that either the mom or the dog was going to die, but that was after my 8 and 9 year old had already gotten so into the movie there was no turning back. I would have preferred knowing that it's a tear-jerker in advance -- still would have shared it w/the kids, but could have anticipated their emotional reactions. That said, it's a fun and sweet movie that works well and had our kids laughing and crying and fully engaged.
