This movie is wild! (SPOILER ALERT)
I have two dogs (both shepherds). One is 7 years and the other 1.5 years. Both I've had since they were about 8 weeks. If either of my dogs ran away and got lost for two weeks and the person who found them refused to return either of them, I would be throwing blows!!! Like how dare someone do that??? If I lost my car in a parking lot and someone found it, would they feel entitled to keep it??? NOOO!!! If my kid went missing after school and someone found them, would it be their kid now? ABSOLUTLEY NOT!!!
Yet, that's the premise of this movie. A selfish father and his bratty daughter trying to guilt trip a widow into giving up her missing dog.
So much of the movie doesn't make sense. For example, when the dog was dropped off at the vet, he was wearing a custome collar. It was obvious that he had an owner, but the shelter immediately put him up for adoption. Like what vet/shelter does that???? They didn't even post Buddy's picture on their website.
They instead gave the dog to a rescue and the rescue owner gave the dog to her bother. The brother was supposed to foster the dog for a month, and he instead decided to keep him. Once again, who does that????
Of course they subsequently fall in love. The owner and the crazy dog thief.
I love romantic movies, but please don't make me hate the romantic interest as soon as the movie starts. I can get over a crass beauracrat as the love interest but not a dog napper.
Stupid plot line.
