I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Normally there is a minimal age of children restricted.This is the first Movie that got a maximal age of allowed children: 8 years.All children under 8 will love this movie, all persons over 8 years will be forced to puke.Never ever seen a "funny" story like this. British humour? Pah. British sickness will be the better description. No plot, no story, no string, no movie. Running gag: a per vereted pig produces tons of manure fertilizer. What a great fun!2 Stars because our kids 4 & 6 laughed a lot.

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!

The one thing that I can't stand about these kids movies is that they treat the children and us like idiots and nothing else.The story is about a cheeky London stray dog, Pudsey, who is quite happy being a lone ranger, looking out for number one, until he meets siblings Molly, George and Tommy. After losing their father, their mother Gail is moving the family to the sleepy village of Chuffington and Pudsey tags along, to the dismay of their landlord, Mr. Thorne, and his cat Faustus. Pudsey the Dog: The Movie sounds like a bad idea on paper. I bet the writer's of this movie were sitting down planing this movie and said to each other...Vertigo Films Producer: "We need to make money and fast, but we are all out of ideas. Horrid Henry: The Movie was a flop and so was Top cat. Wait a minute! what about that dog that can stand on it's two feet? yeah Let's put that dog from Britain's Got Talent into let's give him a movie and let's make him as annoying as possible". And after seeing it on the big screen... it's a disaster of a film. Pudsey the Movie is a film that will turn your brain into mash, because of it's awful scenes of humor. The all movie treat's kids and the viewing auditions with no respect and I just hate it when they do that. The soundtrack to this movie (He's Got The Love!) is the most annoying, headache soundtrack that I've ever heard this year. David Walliams voice acting in this movie wasn't good at all. Walliams felt miss cast and they could have picked a better voice actor than Walliams. The directing was bad, the effect's looked really fake and cheap. Pudsey the Movie is like a big middle finger to the auditions who love movies.

It is, indeed, the end of days. A dancing dog won a reality television show (Britain's Got Talent), and is now starring in his own feature film. HIS OWN FEATURE FILM. The thought of it is appalling - and, strictly speaking, so is the resulting film. As you might expect from a movie rushed into production to cash in on a phenomenon, Pudsey The Dog: The Movie isn't particularly well-written and is occasionally quite terrible. All that being said, however, there's also no denying that the mutt at the heart of this enterprise has a charm all his own, and will likely win over most kids watching the film.The plot, such as it is, goes something like this: Pudsey (voiced by comedian David Walliams) acts in the movies, but really longs to find a family of his own. Fired from the set of a Hollywood film (insert great in-joke here for fans of black-and-white classic The Thin Man), Pudsey encounters a set of three children - quirky Molly (Izzy Meikle-Small), quippy George (Spike White) and quiet Tommy (Malachy Knights) - just as their mom, Gail (Jessica Hynes), has decided to move the entire family to the countryside to start a new life. Still reeling from the loss of their dad, the three kids find comfort in Pudsey's steadfast friendship. But life in their new village remains complicated by Mr. Thorne (John Sessions), their creepy landlord who detests dogs and is keen to monetise the land upon which their cottage sits.This all plays out in predictable ways: Molly learns to embrace her own weirdness; Tommy finds his voice again; Pudsey spins, dances, mucks about in a giant pie and generally saves the day. We've seen it all before, and odds are we've seen it done better than it is here. There are jokes which fall disappointingly flat, and jokes made in awkwardly bad taste - most of which revolve around Ken (voiced by Dan Farrell), a pig who believes himself to be a chicken laying an egg. This is the thinly-disguised reason to stuff the film full of genuinely awful poop jokes that will test the patience of even the most forbearing of audience members.And yet, mediocre as Pudsey resolutely remains, the film is also broadly watchable. Kids will love Pudsey, and adults - especially as the credits roll - will gain an appreciation of just how difficult it was to capture the right shots of the dog to lend emotional weight to the film. The cast is actually fairly decent, even though they're all playing second fiddle to Pudsey. Knights, in particular, stands out among the younger actors, while fans of British television will enjoy Hynes' work as always, even while lamenting the fact that she doesn't get much to do. Sessions, who is forced into any number of odd costumes for dubious comic effect, soldiers through his scenes with remarkable fortitude, which - given the ignominies to which he is subjected - is deserving of its own odd sort of respect.Not by any means a very good film, Pudsey nevertheless muddles along in a (mostly) inoffensive way. It's hardly great art, and it's tough not to be bitterly cynical about the reasons as to why it was made. But, for all that, this is a film made for children and, in this regard, it succeeds reasonably well. Kids will identify with the trials and tribulations of their counterparts in the movie, and will no doubt adore the antics of Pudsey and the rest of the animal cast. The grown-ups in the audience might chafe at the bit after a while, but even they are given a couple of chuckle-worthy, properly surreal moments to enjoy as the film trundles along.
