Red Dog 2011


      Based on the true story of a dog who roamed the Australian outback and only took rides from people he liked.  Red Dog also brought together the community of Dampier in Western Australia through their shared love for him.  When Red Dog came to the town, he didn’t have an owner but he had many wannabes among the rough iron ore excavation workers.  This dog had his own mind and his own ways and he selected his owner himself.
     Some of the events in this movie are so funny!!  I particularly liked Josh Lucas telling Red Dog that dogs don’t belong on the bus he was driving and a sad look would not get him a ride.  There is also a Red Cat that so tough the people say he’s the Devil!!  I thought this was a children's movie from the cover picture but it's not.  4* (I really liked this movie)

92 min, Comedy directed by Kriv Stenders with Josh Lucas, Rachael Taylor, Noah Taylor, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Eamon Farren, Luke Ford, Bill Hunter, Tiffany Lyndall-Knight.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 81% critic 82% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
