Dude Where's My Dog? (2014)

Very disappointing...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

To start things off, the movie opens with over three minutes of credits, which sets a tone for he movie. The actors, especially the child actors, are terrible. I am willing to bet, if I had gone around the country, offering eight year olds candy to star in a movie, I would have received at least three better actors than the ones cast. The angles used by the director may have looked better than the aforementioned rotten cabbage, but still couldn't compare to the angles shot by a three year old dropping a recording Nokia onto the ground. The plot lacks severely, with it being as basic a plot as one could think of, but it pales in comparison to the problems with characterization. Of the three main characters, one is preteen girl as seen by an 80 year old pastor, one is a living fart joke (which is the only type of joke this movie even attempts to make), and the last is a pretentious and irresponsible child. Another character, the main villain in the movie, is never mentioned by name, but instead refers to herself as (non- ironically) "the bad guy". The special effects team seems to be made up of a fourth grader with PowerPoint transitions, and the soundtrack is made by the same fourth grader playing a recorder. In short, this movie is terrible, and made me impotent.

The poster for the film is cute - and I like dogs -- but the movie is very juvenile. Young children may like it, but it's not clever enough or funny enough for parents or even older teen children. The idea of making the dog invisible is fun - but most of the actors are too broad and it's a rather sit-com kind of plotting. Seems like if you have a story that involves villains, the FBI, kids and a dog - there could be more complexity - but here it's very simplified, like a half hour situation comedy. The dog in it was actually very cute -- wish it could have done more. The acting was all okay, but not the caliber of higher budget films. The daughter was probably the best of the lot. Overall, the film may work for kids... but no thumbs up for adults.

Hey all, just watch movie as a new company its made so well must watch and kids loved the best, thank you Sofia Monroe (producer) for making this happen regards from India the story line is good and topic is nice too and hope better to come in feature...I'd highly recommend watching this one because I think it's one of the best out of all dogs and cats movie. For those who look deeply into the storyline and only care about great acting and drama, I'd still recommend giving it a go because it's a new story with new characters, My overall rating for this movie was a 9/10 because in the context of why people would go and watch this movie, but rather a more mature cast with better humor. Thank you

This film is directed and written by Stephen Langford—the same guy who gained some fame producing the American TV show "Family Matters". You know, this is the show that featured Urkel…yes, that annoying Urkel! However, "Dude Where's My Dog?" Is MUCH more difficult to enjoy by anyone older than about 6 years-old than this old television show! The acting and writing actually made me WISH the film had been more like "Family Matters" and the annoying antics of Urkel! The plot is pretty much kid's stuff. Some dopey scientists are working on an invisibility formula. However, an evil janitor steals the stuff and he and his partner plan on making a fortune selling the stuff. Unfortunately, a dog ends up eating ALL the stuff and becomes invisible. So, the pair are intent to find the invisible dog so that they can drain its blood and recreate the formula (that's pretty creepy, actually). Add to this a super-annoying group of kids whose shtick is that they are spying on their neighbors looking for terrorists (is this funny?!) and you have the plot.While the plot sounds pretty bad, that really isn't what nearly drove me to suicide while watching the film—it was the broadness of the direction and writing. The characters in the film were all caricatures and no one remotely really acts like these people…no one. There's the FBI agent (who sounds as if he's trying to imitate the character Kronk from "The Emperor's New Groove") who is dumber than a tomato, the spy kid I mentioned in the previous paragraph, the stupid dad, the bossy mom and a variety of other impossible to believe idiots. And the problem wasn't just that they were all one-dimensional types instead of people, but the dialog…UGGHHH!!! Flatulence comments abound as well as booger references—though it was all bad. It got so horrible that my oldest daughter yelled at the screen 'I really want murder the children in this film!!!' as we watched the film together. She also repeatedly asked me to turn off the movie! I couldn't blame her, as I was feeling pretty much the same way and the film was a chore to watch. Plus today is my birthday—and I definitely deserve better than this!The bottom line is that there should be films that you can show to your kids without worrying about cursing, violence and hot monkey sex. But, this does NOT mean that the films should ONLY appeal to very small children—and this is definitely the problem with "Dude Where's My Dog?". Fart jokes, horrid sound effects (such as slide whistles and beeps and the like to make things 'funnier' occurred CONSTANTLY) and annoyingly bad writing doom this film and make me wonder why a little bit of intelligent writing and acting couldn't have been used in making the film instead. After all, there are many wonderful family films that won't drive adults insane and won't make your children stupider.
