Good But Bad

Good Boy has a stupid story to it but it has the comedy for the younger viewers that watch it. I personally think it's good but really bad. Cute story but seriously some cheesy acting from Liam Aiken, Molly Shannon, and Kevin Nealon. Good Boy finally gives dogs their movie that they deserve. People will laugh at some and just dis some parts. This movie is 4 stars. 2 because I like it and another 2 because it sucked big time. That together gives my vote 4 stars. Don't get me wrong if you want to watch this for a family movie night it is a good choice if your into dogs and space science fiction type stuff. Liam Aiken playing Owen gives a cheesy performance. But still a good one as well.
