Enjoyable, emotionally engaging doggy drama with likeable characters, a nicely structured script, a strong sense of place and terrific performances from a superb ensemble cast.

I do like a good dog in a family movie.

Even hardened blokes will struggle not to choke back a few tears at the end.

All this is relayed in flashback and the storytelling is a tad episodic but it's exuberantly told, with some engaging characters and colourful visuals. Dog-lovers may even find themselves wiping away a tear or two.

Well, it's a doggy story for humans, anyway: an avowedly true-life tale that comes across like a well-meaning PG-certification of the real world.

Hollywood's own family fare could probably learn a little from this sweet-natured and surprisingly affecting Aussie hit.

Emotional dog tale features drinking, violence, and loss.

Shamelessly enjoyable, this raucous Aussie movie keeps us laughing - and ultimately sniffling back the tears - as it recounts an urban myth.

It's guaranteed to bring tears and laughter to popular audiences, and those who turn up their muzzles at it are on a canine to nothing.

Pretty sappy stuff, but the film-makers use knowing humour to snare more cynical viewers and are well-served by the cast.

It's not quite as blatant a tearjerker as some of its pooch-based predecessors, and frankly, it's all the better for it.

Heart's in the right place, but very broad and quite irritating too.
