Firehouse Dog
Everyone say ahhhh!
An adorable boy [Josh Hutcherson, whose starry future career is guaranteed if he keeps at it]
A dog so clever you wouldn't be surprised if he started a conversation with you on the semiotic approach to poetry
The kid's fireman dad [Yay, Fire Heroes! - and they're NOT gay] a dad with a back story [uh-oh]
An arsonist on the loose
The dog's real owners in a slightly different movie which could almost have been directed by John Waters
A couple of flirty romance hints between dad and rival district head honcha - and between kid and honcha's daughter
I don't need to say happy ending -- do I?
Still, it's got a great deal of charm, and that vital ahhhh factor. A bit too talky at times, but the 8-12s should find something here.
Did I mention the dog wears a hairpiece?
