Secret Agent Dingledorf and His Trusty Dog Splat

I don't actually want to be harsh or mean in my criticism of this movie. This is a low-budget, indie movie that got a one week test screening, and it's more like a low quality tv movie that got lucky. The best thing about it is the professionally done posters. The film immediately opens with an overabundance of stock sound effects and clichéd music and it continues using them throughout the movie. There is little to no continuity in the editing and the effects are cheap. The plot is formulaic and the acting is laughable. They don't even spell the dogs name right in the credits! You'd forget there even is a dog character as it does nothing! Again, I don't want to harp on this movie too hard because they had to have no budget, and its a movie made specifically for kids, and for what it's worth they at least tried to make a movie. Is it a bad movie? Absolutely. But its not cynical and as far as cheaply made movie go, you could do far worse (e.g. Birdemic).

Secret Agent Dingledorf and His Trusty Dog Splat is a film that has a relatable message, an interesting storyline, and shows the importance of teamwork. There are some familiar faces in this film, making it one to watch. The story follows a 10-year-old boy named Bernie Dingledorf (Zackary Arthur) who is living a normal life, until he and his friends eat a Gooey Chewy Bar. This makes the friends immune to the Laugh Generator, which is being used by Dr. Chuckles, a clown who is trying to take over the world through uncontrollable laughter. When a secret spy agency called T. W. I. T. forces Bernie and his friends to come together to save the world from Dr. Chuckles, it is up to them to step up to the plate. The acting in this film is not great, but it's acceptable. The sets are very colorful and creative. At some points you can tell they are using a green screen such as when we see the T. W. I. T. agency behind the characters - the setting looks like it has been edited. My favorite aspect is the storyline, which is entertaining and fun. Throughout the movie we see Berinie and his friends go on an adventure to figure out how to stop the clowns from creating world-wide havoc, which can be a fun, exciting, adventure for the audience. My favorite character is IQ (Cooper J. Friedman) because he's really funny. Although IQ is small, he is a big help in stopping the clowns. The others think that just because he is small, he doesn't know much and is small-brained. But, I like the fact that he is really just as smart as the others. The message of this film is that it doesn't matter who you are or what you do, God doesn't make junk. This film is completely family friendly. I rate Secret Agent Dingledorf and His Trusty Dog Splat 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 8. You can find this film on VOD starting September 30, 2021. Be sure to check it out.

A kids movie. The title sez it all. Silly spoof, but made more sense than a lot of Ho'wood movies I've seen lately. Only saw it cuz my AMC A-LIST, August 2021, cuz wanted to get out of the August heat and rest in the theater's plush recliner lounger.

A lot of fun with a good underlying theme for kids.

A great family film! The cartoon and campy styling of the movie was very fun. I can't wait for the sequel! SUPPORT SMALL FILMS!
