Look, it's not a fantastic movie.
Some subpar acting and some horrible design (looking at you, Latino 'gang' clothing choices and sideways gun-holding cringe).
However, as a dog lover, I had a LOT of fun with this film. The booby-trappings and scenes carried by the dogs rekindled a sense of fun once felt from films like Home Alone. Very glad I watched this, I'd be hesitant to recommend to others as some of the acting really is poor, but it excelled in the fun department, yet was atrocious at carrying out the dramatic and narrative elements. The psych was one of the few decent actors with an interesting backstory, but the exploration of her character scratched the surface, avoiding to add depth.
Bizarre ending I might add, not sure why the religious element was decided to be expressed again when it wasn't required earlier in the film to begin with.
A good flick to watch in the background and check into when the pooches appear, feel free to check out during the dialogue; you will be glad you did.
