Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

How can anyone hate a movie with Gary Busey, an adorable little dog, cute kids, a beautiful family who love each other and God, and they get by on trust in God? It's a beautiful story! So, low budget or not, they did an excellent job at making it! The only thing I didn't like about it was the guards and how over-the-top dumb they were! They could have been made intelligent and made for a good chase scene for drama effect or something like that. And the music was nice, but it kept repeating throughout the movie. It would have been nice to have more really good songs. Gary Busey's acting is great, as is everyone else's. Jillian Clare is wonderful! And so is her on-screen brother! It is simply a great movie, and on the extras, on the interview with Gary Busey, I see exactly why he wanted this movie made,and that is an extremely special circumstance! What an amazing guy!

This is a really bad waste of your time. I would probably rather go watch some documentary than this; it's really that bad.The acting is really terrible, and you can tell that the producers had a low budget because of the terrible picture quality. It's by far on the low end of the scale; don't waste your money on it.I have a really hard time believing the person who made this movie that it would fare well. I had to watch it with the kids when my mother rented it because she thought it would be good for the kids. Even the kids (3, 4, 6, and 8) all thought it was pretty boring.I agree with the other commenter, Spongebob would be a lot better to watch than this.Overall: Just don't watch it. Don't. Don't.

This movie should go down in the annals of fiefdom as one of the worst of all time. I will stop short of saying it's the worst movie ever, only because I have yet to see every movie ever made. I cannot make such lofty claims until then. The story is stale, the acting is horrible, at best, the "special" effects are no more than a couple of lbs. of dry ice and a fan. Somebody must have been related to someone to get this movie made. Mr. Busey mailed this one in! The dog is well trained and cute, making it the only redeeming quality in this never-should-have-made-it movie. Two hours and $3 of my life I will never get back.

If you ever plan on renting (hopefully not buying) this movie, think again. It was as if Gary Busey had a gun to his head and was forced to act or die. I only wonder if Busey was arrested for something and was sentenced to play in this movie because I just don't see the guy that acted so much better with Keanu Reeves in Point Break play in this disaster. It was a feel-good movie, but there are thousands of other feel-good movies that make you laugh without wanting you to get your money back.The only reason I would ever tell someone to rent this movie is to watch this movie is to see Gary Busey jump up and down like a monkey. If you want a good funny movie, pass up Quigley and go rent Spongebob or something.
