    It may not set the box office on fire, but this canine caper is more agreeable than your average underdog tale.

    The premise was cute but the writing was bad, even for a kid's movie.

    "Firehouse Dog," a pampered movie star pooch named Rexxx falls out of an airplane and into the lap of a second-rate fire station where he is immediately adopted as the department's mascot. With his natural talent for search-and-rescue missions, Rexxx soon insinuates his way into ...( read more)the hearts and affections of all, including the young, slightly troubled son (Josh Hutcherson) of the station's chief (Bruce Greenwood). However, after a display of heroism during a fire rescue on top of oodles of improbable dog tricks, Dewey develops a relationship with Shane, eventually becoming the mascot of the fire station. But no sooner than things are becoming well than Trey arrives, looking to claim what is rightfully his. All in all, "Firehouse Dog" isn't great, but it's better than most recent movies about dogs and it's very entertaining.

    This movie was better then I expected. A lot of non believable things happened but if you forget those then the movie is cute. My son loved the firetrucks and the dog.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's harmless enough for young kids, but director Todd Holland seems to have little interest in making anything but a generic, instantly forgettable family-friendly feature. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

You'd be better off taking your kid to visit a dog run for a couple of hours. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Firehouse Dog isn't quite the equivalent of the 1999 talking-infant bomb Baby Geniuses, but at times it's close enough for discomfort. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Had it been made shortly after 9/11, Firehouse Dog might have seemed like a shameless attempt to marry the country's reverence for the New York Fire Department with Air Bud. full review

    Oi, girliegirlkayla below, the whole purpose of this website is to comment on films - good or bad. If someone doesn't like it they should definitely say so, with good reason accompanying it. A valid and justified reason would be good too.
    So don't keep your comments to yourself people, or this site would be nothing.

    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.
