This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The best actors are the dogs, the script sounds worse than a yapping terrier and the plot needs to be scooped up and tossed into a plastic baggie. Although it had a promising start, Dog Lover's Symphony quickly took a turn for the worse. The romance between ex-convict and dog trainer is so hackneyed and the "acting" is so devoid of emotion--of anything, really--that this movie is bound to bore humans and dogs alike. Also, this "family" movie does not have any children in it whatsoever. The story revolves around a lackluster, PG-rated romance between two adults, which has a cheesy, melodramatic ending that merely seals this movie's fate. Do not watch.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The makers of this film try to drill their message about altruism into one's head repeatedly. The acting was poor, the editing was poor, and above all the writing was sub-standard. I have seen grade B horror movies that were more intelligently made. At first I thought the message was going to be subtle, then they kept repeating what they had to say over and over. There is a scene at the end where the dead fiancée magically comes back to the church for his wedding. I still do not know why anyone would desire to have a wedding when their fiancée was dead. The first half of the movie was fairly standard, just bad acting, then after the movie appeared to be over a few times they kept extending the storyline in preposterous ways. I would advise all to avoid this film. It is not even bad enough to be humorous.

This one is worth watching for three reasons. 1) Its unseemly idealism 2) Alaina Kalanj, 3) dogs.The movie is unrealistic about the world at large hence it tries to show an ideal world, but as a spoiler warning it does have some hard reality about life in two instances in the film. They both come suddenly and their unpolished nature creates a kind of brutal reality that real life throws at us. I suggest you watch it for yourself and comment here on it. Alaina Kalanj acts without acting. She is a natural. It is uncanny. She was a kindred spirit to the dogs which if she did act that way well then she is very good at it, and if she didn't then she is proof of the film's message. I can see her in certain roles, and I would cast her.The wedding scene at first struck me as nonsense, but later I can see a person going through with it, and to keep an open mind that one may perceive a moment in a way that no one else does is worth considering. Our minds are truly capable of having these magical moments gain reality in life.

This could have become a funny and good movie, but it flips totally out repeatedly towards the end until you get angry with the filmmakers for believing that audiences consist of complete morons. It cannot even serve as a wet ladies' weeper. It cannot be called a children's movie because there are no children in the cast. It's probably called a "family movie" because there is no nakedness or language abusive to children, but the plot is certainly abusive to the intellect of grown-ups. The simplified portrait of the drug buddies and their miraculous turn-around is just a start. Or perhaps one cannot expect more from a story told by a dog...
