Although on the surface, Soccer Dog may appear to be a flat, bargain bin flick, it is actually a fantastic film. Allow me to break down what makes this movie so utterly amazing. First is the amazing actors. From the creepy dogcatcher to the wise soccer shop owner, every character is perfectly portrayed by people with no real significance. In fact each character is so unlovable the viewers are unable to choose a favorite! I myself was cheering for the antagonist! Brilliant! Next is the awe inspiring soundtrack. The choice to use the same annoying saxophone diddly for every soccer scene was a great choice. With this tactic the viewers are too busy tending to their bleeding ears to pay attention to the movie.Oh what to say about the storyline. . . With no real problems, conflicts, aims, objectives, progression, or plot, the viewers are left guessing the entire movie. In fact, I myself was waiting for the trailers to end before I realized the movie had already started! A work of genius I say!In conclusion, Soccer Dog may just be the greatest feature film ever created by the hands of man!
... View MoreThis movie may have a few minor flaws (e.g., length and some bad acting *cough* John Marshall) but overall it was highly entertaining. I especially enjoyed the cinematography, soundtrack, and humor. Olivia D'Abo was great, as usual. Highly recommended for an evening of wholesome "warm and fuzzy" family fun.
... View MoreJames Marshall and Olivia D'Abo do a great job of acting while the really awesome dog rocks, too! The story goes like this, a boy who doesn't know exactly how to play soccer when his demanding dad wants him to be a soccer star... they need to call in the cool little SOCCER DOG! There are many movies like this, for instance Air Bud which goes a step further than this, but Soccer Dog definitely makes the grade!
... View MoreWatch out Air Bud, here comes Soccer Dog! Soccer Dog is a fun, witty, and touching story of a boy and his dog. Incredibly a soccer playing dog shows us the true meaning of love, family, and community. As a result of the dog's success, and through the love of his owners, people gain the self-confidence and happiness, to make good, though often difficult decisions. Screenwriter Daniel Forman and Director Tony Giglio have done a masterful job of weaving a complex mosiac and leaving the viewer feeling great about himself and of all mankind. I highly recommend this film to viewers of all ages.
