Cinnamon 2011

     The title of this is also My Dog's Christmas Miracle.  Cinnamon is a small Maltese dog, she loves her owner and wants to keep her all to herself.  Professor Madeline meets the man of her dreams and Cinnamon is afraid she’ll be sent to the pound.  She does everything she can to keep the couple apart.  She gets her real chance to cause trouble when Madeline goes to a conference and asks architect Kevin to take care of Cinnamon for three days.  Kevin has a son and he is jealous of both Madeline and Cinnamon!!

     This is cute and enjoyable.  Somewhat predictable but that doesn’t matter when you have talking dogs!!  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
