My husband and I took three kids ages 17, 9 and 7. We all enjoyed the movie. The kids loved the character, 'Kevin'. There are adult themes scattered throughout the movie, which our 7 year old asked about later. I felt they are legitimate issues that I welcomed addressing with my child. I liked the imaginative spirit of the movie--the idea of having a dream. I liked 'Doug'. All around...a lot of great life lessons to learn from this movie. See it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

pass on this ethical contradiction

This movie is fair at best. It has some comic merits, but I had a problem with some ethical elements of the film. I think any dog lover would enjoy how the movie elevates the placement of stray dogs with loving owners to the same priority of placing orphaned children with suitable foster parents. There are some funny parts and clever contraptions in the film which are playful and creative. The movie however, incoporated several elements of theft that seemed to be perfectly acceptable. Selling rocks to pawn shops will land you in juvie. Stealing from your employer is a crime. I wish these elements would have been left out of this film, but perhaps that is why it is rated PG.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
