The 12 Dogs of Christmas 2004


The 12 Dogs of Christmas     Emma is 12 years old and she lives with her father since her mother passed away.  It’s the Great Depression and her father sends her to live with her aunt in the small town of Doverville.  Emma is having a hard time, her aunt isn’t very welcoming, wants her to get a job to pay her way and school is not where she wants to be.  The town mayor has declared that dogs are not allowed within the limits of the town.  He appoints his brother to catch and remove any dogs seen in town.  Emma rescues a puppy but her aunt is really not happy about a puppy.  Emma starts staying with Cathy Stevens and her son Mikey.  Cathy and Mike are rescuing all the dogs they can find.
     This is good for the ages of under 13 and over 30.  It’s a fun movie and you root for Emma, Cathy and Mike.  You hope only bad things happen to the dogcatcher and his evil twin!!  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

101 min, Drama directed by Kieth Merrill with Danielle Churchran, Alli Simpson, Sean Patrick Flanery, Jordan-Claire Green, D.B. Sweeney, Adam Hicks.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.4 out of 10, 55% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
