I almost didn't watch this movie because the name sounded so sappy. Thankfully, I listened to the strong recommendation of my sister-in-law...
If you love dogs (animals in general), loving family dynamics, country living, generous spirits, and a warm holiday story - this movie is for you. It will evoke a wide range of positive emotions - empathy, joy, resilience, and passion for helping animals and people. To help viewers develop empathy, it shows the "why" behind actions that might be viewed as selfish or negative. And, the ending is as happy as you would wish for a Christmas story.
Yes, the story is a bit formulaic and predictable, but the lovable characters are talented and well-cast. We very much enjoyed watching it this year. I'm sure it will not be our last time to enjoy it.
