Good movie but grossly overrated
Absolutely Fantastic
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Jack Whitley is a troubled, but talented foster kid. He doesn't have much hope for this Christmas, until he begins his community service at a no-kill animal shelter. Jack meets 3 lovely young women there. Blair, Hillary, and Ryan. Just a few days after he begins working there he gets the most terrible news. The shelter is going to close by Christmas. Which means all of the dogs there are going to be hauled off to the city pound, where most of them will be put down. Will they get all of the dogs adopted within the short deadline of 12 days? You'll have to watch it to find out! 12 Dog Days Till Christmas is a touching story of hope, friendship, and family. It's a new Christmas classic!
BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FAREThe budget of this film was almost non existent. One scene that was suppose to be a fancy restaurant you can tell it was someones home. The acting and dialog was terrible HOWEVER the message of home and family still come through. Most of all it is about how everyone wants a loving home, that includes not only dogs but people too. It also makes you look beyond the surface of everything because there is ALWAYS something to love in everything.In this film A troubled foster teen ends up having to work at an no kill animal shelter. When he finds out the shelter is closing, he will have 12 days and a Christmas Miracle to find homes for the unwanted dogs. He does that but, a better ending a new "NO KILL SHELTER" opening. That is not the case. The film will be enjoyable for the under 12 set. It is family safe.
I enjoyed the film. A lot of haters and mean people who write reviews, but it was very touching and enjoyable to me. Fun Holiday film that my friends and I enjoyed watching. This touching film is about a foster kid and a shelter dog. Jack is the kid who has been a foster kid in the system for years and he is about ready to turn 18 with no family. He ends up having to do community service and starts to connect with the dogs in the shelter, since they are in the same situation. Both of them want to have a family and home. Loved the story and it has a theme of having faith. It has a Christian type of theme, which not all people will appreciate, but we did. It is a good message for all kids and people. A feel good film! I personally dealt with a difficult childhood and I really enjoy positive films. Therefore, I would recommend this film.
The cast looks like it's full of a bunch of relatives of the casting agent. I love Christmas movies, but this is just B-A-D enough to compel me to write this review.The main boy is a "lovable" foster kid, Jack, assigned to community service at a pet shelter run by 3 young girls -- not sure where the adults are. He has "anger" issues and a crush on the older sister of an equally angry redhead names Ryan. Jack is not only a terrible actor, he is clearly gay which wouldn't matter if they weren't trying to make a heterosexual love connection. To be clear, he isn't the only bad actor. The whole cast is terrible except for the probation officer. I'm not sure if is just the acting or the directing as well.The movie is about 2 dysfunctional teens working together to get a bunch of misfit dogs adopted before Christmas. The "misfit" dogs are actually quite cute. If you can put up with the bad acting and you like dogs, maybe it's worth a look.
