OK...check it out people. I've seen the movie. It's not a dog. In fact, it was a quite enjoyable FAMILY movie with heart and humor. Why, as of this review, is it rated a 2.8, while predigested, thoughtless, poop like Friday the 13th PART 12 is rated 6.3? I think I've found the culprit and it is us. I don't know whether or not to chalk it up to ignorance or racism or both, but had I relied on the IMDb viewer's average rating for this movie, my family and I would have missed out on a good movie! Wake up! I've read the comments...why is this movie rated so low? I can tell you why I gave it 7/10 stars... it was funny, it had heart, it was entertaining, and oh by the way, had a message. What did you not like? The message? Forgiveness begins with ourselves? I really don't get it. Don't get me wrong...far from Oscar worthy (although I thought the acting was VERY solid, especially from Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy from The Cosby Show) and Derek Luke (the assistant DA). I'm really baffled why the typical reviewer here has failed to see the true value of this entertaining, heartwarming gem of a movie. It's further evidence to me that the average American moviegoer is borderline moronic. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the fact that this movie is not being recognized for the entertaining, positive movie it is, demonstrates to me that American values and what it considers enjoyable and entertaining, are very twisted. I prescribe really trying to watch the movie next time around instead of diddling your girlfriend or stuffing your face with popcorn...give it another chance. You might not like it...but 2.8? Come on!
