I don't quite know what to think about this movie. It is about a young boy who gets to live among dogs because of his bullying brother and father. He gets a special bond with the dogs of which even Cesar Milan would get jealous of. That was quite an interesting beginning, but had nothing to do with the rest of the movie whatsoever.
He talks to a psychiatrist and tells about a woman he fell in love with. Very boring part and just time filling without any purpose. If this was a psychological study of why he became a drag, I don't understand why the mother was not a bigger part in it.
I must admit, the way the main character Caleb owns the drag scene is admiring worthy. Very beautiful and strong performance. But it doesn't stand between a weak story and an ending that was Home Alone like. Sure I liked the part where the dogs got the villains, but it was totally misplaced in a Besson movie. In that way I am afraid that Caleb's show gets burried beneath a layer of dirt and that's a pity. He deserves so much more. But even his performance could not cover a weak and "all over the place" story.
