MCT:August 26, 2008Faced with a fire hydrant, most dogs would cock a leg. Grown-up audiences might want to do the same to this fart-obsessed family comedy, although younger viewers who prefer Beethoven to Amadeus will lap up the computer-enhanced canine aerobatics.
Separated from a film crew while shooting a commercial, Rexxx - Hollywood?s most pampered four-legged star - becomes a fire-station mascot. Using his movie-stunt skills, Rexxx carries out 911 rescue missions while forming a bond with troubled Shane (Hutcherson), son of the firehouse captain.
Hutcherson handles the drama well, but the faked doggy-style tricks keep any serious stuff on a tight leash. -
MCT:August 20, 2008I figured Firehouse Dog was going to be pretty unbearable, and only took a chance on it because there was a free movie channel weekend on DirecTV. It isn't necessarily good, but it turned out to be better than expected. Josh Hutcherson, who plays the lead character Shane, is the main reason the movie didn?t sink into completely worthlessness. He?s a good young actor, that?s been in a bunch of family movies in the past few years, including Zathura and Bridge to Terabithia. He kind of reminds me of a young Christian Bale, and I can see him easily transitioning into an adult actor with adult roles. Of course, only time will tell.
The rest of Firehouse Dog was pretty cliché, extremely predictable from beginning to end; although I did like a few of the bits at the beginning of the film, where we?re shown the dog?s back-story. He?s a Hollywood hotshot, basically the Arnold or Sly (80?s versions), of dog movies and has the movie-star personality to go with it. When a movie stunt goes wrong, he?s lost in the middle-of-nowhere, with no way of communicating who he is. He befriends Shane, whose father is a fire-chief, and his mother is dead. Who decided that nearly every family film had to have a dead or missing parent? It?s extremely rare to see one with a family fully intact.
The dad is played by Bruce Greenwood, an always dependable character actor, he brings a bit of realism to this fairly ridiculous story. His fire station, where apparently only five firemen work 24/7, is on the verge of being closed down by the city. There is also a subplot about an serial-arsonist who killed the chief?s brother. But once wonder-dog shows up, he manages to bring the family together, save the station, and capture the arsonist. All fairly typical movie-dog traits, Lassie pulls off these tricks while getting a flea bath. But Firehouse Dog is a fairly well put-together film, at least for a movie of it?s kind. It?s not too condescending towards its intended audience, although the dog does let a few farts rip. The film isn't good enough to recommended for anyone without a kid younger than 7 or 8, but they should enjoy it.

I just saw this movie and it is a great movie for what it is like shaggy dog, air bud, etc. Even better i think it had a great story and a good cast josh hutcherson is a good actor and i think he will be around for a long time i hope. i don't know why people bother posting bad comments espeically when they havn't seen it! it is a kids movie and has a dog in it but is a good movie. I think it is a must see. Good family watching.
