      Movie Info

      Thousands of years ago, dogs arrived on planet Earth from a faraway star with plans to take over the world. Now, the Greater Dane (Vanessa Redgrave) wants a report on the takeover, so she sends Hubble (Matthew Broderick) to investigate. When he's adopted by the lonely Owen (Liam Aiken), Hubble slowly realizes that dogs have forgotten their mission. They're not man's worst enemy -- they're his best friend. And, to make matters worse, the Greater Dane is headed to Earth for an inspection.

        I enjoy kids/family films. I enjoy animal films. This film is both of these things, but...I can't say I really enjoyed this one. The acting was poor, the plot was mediocre, the jokes were hackneyed and the message was garbled. Young children may enjoy the sight of talking dogs and their interaction with human beings and one another, but that is all this movie is good for really...a little visual stimulation (and it is hard pressed even there). They employed some great to fair talent to do the voiceovers (The great Carl Reiner, Matthew Broderick all the way to Brittany Murphy), but their performances were kind of boring. The child actor who plays the lead...don't look for him in the future either. Most kids will find this movie quite boring and even most adults will find it bland at best. Do yourself a favor and rent "Spirited Away" and pass on this film.
