This is a family film about a widowed
father and his ten-year-old daughter.
They have a dog, Shakey and he’s a big part of the family. The dad, J.T. O’Neil, has always dreamed about
leaving their small town for a chef’s job in Chicago. Chandler, his daughter, encourages her dad to follow his dream even though
it will be hard for her to leave where they live. They are surprised and happy that the apartment they’ve rented is in a
very tall high-rise building. They
are also surprised to learn that dogs are not allowed? What about Shakey? The manager is not very receptive to anything not in the rental contract!!
A good premise but very watered down and
predictable. Seems like a lot of
life has been sucked right out of it?
