Pudsey the Dog: The Movie (2014) Reviews
Enjoyable for Kids
Brought 4 kids to this movie today aged 4 -8. They enjoyed it, even the 8 year old who protested about wanting to see something with more action. Nothing mind blowing for adults, don't expect any intricate plots or complex characters but from a child's point of view, talking animals, slapstick and adults acting silly is perfect entertainment. My 4 year old boy especially finds the cinema a bit intimidating but he loved it. Story is simple enough, family relocating to rural area following death of their father encounters greedy landlord with evil plans. Landlord does not like dogs...you see where this is going. An afternoon well spent. Innocent fun.
Lassie meets Babe meets Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang
My 7 yr old daughter persuaded me to watch this film with her last week. I was expecting to see a film that had some relevance to the reason the dog is famous in the first place i.e. the fact that it's a dancing dog. Although there were some scenes that featured Pudsey dancing & standing on his hind legs etc they were very much shoehorned into the script almost as an after thought & bore very little relevance to the story at all. So why make a movie staring Pudsey the dog? The answer of course is very simple. If you are a singer & a star on BGT you can of course go on to make lots of money selling CD's & performing at live concerts. Pudsey the dog, even though he may have been taken to the hearts of the nation, is very much a one trick pony. So someone had the bright idea to cash in while he's still famous & stick him in a movie. To be honest I did enjoy the start of the film, which has quite a few funny, if not particularly original scenes. I also enjoyed pointing out to my daughter the rear number plate on the white trailer, which is absent when the family set off on their journey, but manages to appear & disappear several times on the way. ( one for the Robert Webb show there). Unfortunately after this the film takes a bit of a nose dive into a sentimental mishmash of Lassie, meets Babe, meets Nanny McPhee & the big bang, meets 101 Dalmatians. These were of course, with the possible exception of Lassie, all very good movies. (In fact I'm not ashamed to admit I was filling up at the end the Nanny McPhee & the big bang.) This however is not a good film. So what's wrong with it then I hear you ask? Well it's certainly not the acting. In fact John Sessions puts in a very good performance as the pantomime villain. And Pudsey is, well, just Pudsey. The problem is the script. It is written by a guy called Paul Rose who as far as I can see from his page on this site hasn't actually written a film script before. What he has done is scripts for children's TV shows such as Dani's Castle, My Parents are Aliens & Sooty. Shows which are basically a series of quick fire gags. Maybe if there had been enough money in the kitty to employ the talents of George Miller (Babe)or Emma Thompson there might have been a different result. My daughter, who quite enjoyed the film, asked me to explain to her what was so wrong with it. I told her that when she has seen as many films as I have & has something to compare it with, she might be a bit more critical. But maybe I am missing the point. Because if you're a 7 year old who can watch back to back episodes of You've Been Framed & laugh at people falling over again & again & again then maybe this film is just what you want to see.
Possibly the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen In Years
I've seen many bad movies one after another, but this, THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST MOVIE EVER!, IT'S OBNOXIOUS, PREDICABLE, NONSENSICAL, DUMB AND ANNOYING CHARACTERS, A CLICHÉD PLOT, ANNOYING SOUNDTRACK, HUMOR THAT IS NOT FUNNY, THINGS FALL OVER ON PEOPLE THINKING THAT IT WILL MAKE KIDS LAUGH, BUT THAT'S GETTING OLD AND LITERALLY EVERY ACTOR IS SO BRAINLESS IN THEIR PERFORMANCES!. Okay, I'll calm down but, this is bad folks, like REALLY bad, I like Pudsey, sure he's talent isn't anything special, but I really like what he can do and he's not awful in this movie, he's just having fun and I'm glad he is, but It doesn't really matter because the film is just the worst thing ever on par with Monster Trucks and Transformers Dark of the Moon. If you want a good family live action movie, watch Paddington, that movie is the opposite of this piece of garbage and It's far better then this, so If you see It at your Tescos, Sainsbarys or Asda, just don't pick It and waste your money, buy Paddington instead, It's worth It. But this, this will be considered as the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!. This piece of garbage gets a 0.1/10!.
Haters will hate, kids will love
Asking most of the popular UK film reviewers to give valid opinions on this film is like asking my Mum to review a Death Metal album. She couldn't be less interested or less able to judge whether it was good or not. However, watching it with a bunch of 4-10 year olds, the truth is obvious. Kids love Pudsey, they love the crude jokes, talking horses, slapstick pratfalls and the dancing. No, it's not Slumdog Millionaire, of course it isn't. I've seen it criticised for having a simple plot, for John Sessions acting like a pantomime villain (which he does brilliantly), even for relying on Pudsey's dancing skills. It's like the reviewers have lost all touch with their inner child. Almost as if they are all ...grumpy old men. Too cool to laugh at a simple fart joke. Too blinkered to see what the film is all about and most importantly, who it was made for. They are upset, indignant! Why is this film being made at all? The British film industry should be making worthy films about..social change, or drug addicts or something. A Dancing dog? Preposterous! A film like this will never score well on sites like IMDb. The target audience just don't come here. They don't spend their evenings online blogging or commenting. They are all asleep in bed. The male 12-25 year olds who do visit this page will hate the very idea of the film. There was a top 1000 voter giving it 1 star before it had even had previews. So what is Pudsey the dog the movie? It's a fun 90 minutes to spend in the school holidays with your kids. That's all. The young (and young at heart) will love it.
Just fun !
It's a talking dog movie - what do people expect? Here Pudsey deals with no end of wacky characters - both people and other dogs. And then throw in a pig that thinks it's a chicken! How anyone can't laugh through this silliness is a wonderment to me. Fun and adventure for a dog that wants to be with a good family and the dog becomes a local hero! That's how complex this story is. It's a talking dog movie! Nothing profound happens here - it's all for fun and laughs. Watch it - and go with the silly! It's not just for kids!
