Just think about how well it would have done with Kirk Cameron added to the cast...

Speaking of which Fireproof made another $4,069,000 this week and still in the top ten. So far this is about $12,491,000 for the little film shot shot by a church based film company on a $500,000 budget and shown only on about 852 screens. 13 more screens have just been added. But Chihuahua's are cute.

That foot is going deep into Hollywood's buttocks on this one ain't it. I love it. I hope they take some of the money and be sure to advertise a bit more.

I believe movies like this have a target audience and some sort of computer expertise behind them. Its the spoof like Disaster Movie that makes me cringe, thank god it tanked at the BO .
 
As a matter of fact their was an internet campaign to push people not to see Disaster Movie.

I read the title of this thread and said to myself... that's 'cause it's the end of the world. :beer:

Then open the thread and voila'.

I don't know how much more stupid I can take... also... PEOPLE ON A FILM FORUM will come down hard on any film that has an overtly goofball premise... kid film or not.

We don't age discriminate around here.

Sheesh. A bunch of grown ups coming down hard on a kid film. What's that about?

I took a 9 year old to see it today. I would call the movie mildly cute at best, but she absolutely loved it and that's all that mattered to me.
 
Kids are still alive and well and know what they want. Talking animals have been popular with kids all throughout time. Books, films, radio, television. Disney built an empire on talking animals.

Good point. :beer:

I guess I should consider myself lucky that when I was a kid there were enough movies that used clever concepts and writing, instead of gimmicks. (I'd have thought this was dumb back then too.)

Babe was original and they've milked the utters OFF that cow ever since.
 
While I would like more good films to take my grandchild to, it's good to have some to take them to.

I'm sure at 5 years old you would have seen right through the talking dog thing. Kids don't believe it, but they find it amusing. :)

Shaggy Dog anyone?

Hey, Terry. Would it be at all appropriate for a 5 year old?

Cheers,

There wasn't anything scary or overtly sexual about it. So, yeah, I think a 5 year old would enjoy it. In fact there were several 'younger' kids there and they laughed and seemed to be having fun with it. Plenty of one-liners for adults to enjoy, as well.
