‘Firehouse Dog’ Movie Review
Starring: Josh Hutcherson, Bree Turner, Bruce Greenwood, Dash Mihok, and Steven Culp.
Synopsis: Rex, Hollywood’s top-grossing canine, is known for his extreme athletic abilities. But Rex’s luck, and Hollywood high life, runs out while shooting a commercial; an aerial stunt goes awry, leading Rex’s handlers to presume he’s dead. But Rex is merely lost, alone, filthy and unrecognizable in an unfamiliar city. Chased by animal control, he takes refuge in grubby abandoned lofts, a far cry from his former luxurious lifestyle.
Shane Fahey, a bright but rebellious 12-year-old, has exasperated his father Connor for the umpteenth time. A single parent and captain of the rundown inner city fire station known as Dogpatch. Trapped on the loft’s burning roof, Rex makes a death-defying leap and is rescued by Connor. The pompous, fastidious Rex and the troubled, messy Shane immediately clash. Unaware of Rex’s true identity, Shane becomes his reluctant new master. But his attitude changes when he discovers Rex’s spectacular skills, which the firefighters put to use during rescue calls. Inspired by the dog’s talent and courage, Dogpatch makes Rex its mascot.
Review: This movie is a bit unique and a great family movie. Anybody who loves dogs will love this movie and be laughing and maybe even crying the whole way through.
The movie is far from boring and is a definite must see. So on your family night take the whole family out and have some hilarious laughs.
