DVD Review: The Christmas Doodle

The Christmas Doodle
(DVD j Christmas)

I love cute dog or puppy movies and the cover of this DVD was so appealing, I decided to check it out to watch with my family this holiday week. As the saying goes, “never judge a book by its cover.” The same can also be said for DVDs. This was the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The story starts out with a lonely woman who seems sad. She apparently doesn’t work and spends her time cooped up in her lovely home. Her only social interaction is with a neighbor who takes her garbage for her. Suddenly we see some cute puppies. One of these puppies is destined to become this woman’s next best friend! Unfortunately, the woman seems unable to walk her dog without it getting away from her. Does the woman go out and try to find the dog? No, she waits at home until a neighbor brings the dog to her. This is the beginning of the romance between the woman and the garbage bag man. Poor sound quality, poor writing, poor filming, poor editing … need I say more? Yes, there was a cute dog in this “film” but that couldn’t save this poorly-made movie. My daughter, who loves dogs, laughed and hooted at the TV for all 48 minutes of boredom that we were exposed to. I am writing this review to warn other people — don’t bother with this one.

 

(This is not a recommendation, so I am not going to compare this to anything else.)
