... View Moreeverything you have heard about this movie is true.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI'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!.
... View MoreAshleigh and Pudsey became the first dog trick act (the second being Jules O'Dwyer and Matisse, not as deserved, due to cheating) to win talent show Britain's Got Talent in 2012, and performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance, and then they decided to give the dog a bone, well, a movie. Basically Pudsey the Dog (himself, voiced by BGT judge David Walliams) is a cheeky Border Collie, Bichon Frise and Chinese Crested powderpuff cross who walks off a movie set after being fired for causing havoc. He now walks the streets of London, but he is a happy stray lone ranger looking out for himself, but occasionally using his ability to walk on his hind legs and jumping skills to save the day. One day Pudsey meets siblings Molly (Izzy Meikle-Small), George (Spike White) and Tommy (Malachy Knights), he helps them rid of some school bullies, the three children take the dog home with them, but their mother Gail (Jessica Stevenson/Hynes) will not allow them to keep him. Pudsey is given to an eccentric woman who wants to dye his fur pink and do other horrible things, like she has to her poodles, but as Pudsey is specially trained he is able to open the door and escape, the poodles escape with him. Pudsey jumps into a white van to hide, this turns out to be the van moving his three friends to a new house in the countryside, in the village of Chuffington. The landlord Mr. Thorne (John Sessions), with his cat Faustus (Lorraine Kelly), appears friendly on the outside, but in fact he is an evil man scheming to destroy the house and the entire village to build a corporate construction. Pudsey stumbles upon this plan and tries to warn the family, but he caught and taken to the dog pound, however with the other doggie prisoners he is able to create a diversion plan, and they dig their way out. In the end the plans of Mr. Thorne are thwarted and he is arrested, and Pudsey is finally welcomed by Gail into the family and praised as a hero. Also starring Olivia Colman as Nelly the Horse, Jim Tavaré as Dog Catcher, Peter Serafinowicz as Edward the Horse, Dan Farrell as Ken the Pig and Finn the Dog. BGT judge Amanda Holden as Sally the Dog and Ashleigh Butler (Pudsey's trainer) as Anabella the Cow, she can also be seen in scenes towards the end. There is no denying Pudsey is an adorable animal, a dog who can dance and perform well, but his cuteness cannot be extended into a full length film, he is a bit of a one-trick puppy here, the story is predictable, the special effects for the animals to talk are wasted, and the jokes fall flat most of the time, this will certainly appeal to children and Simon Cowell, but many adults will be disappointed in this lacklustre family comedy. Adequate!

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!
... View MoreAsking 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.
