My family and I watched this movie on Netflix where it was called "A Christmas Puppy" and had a picture of a lab puppy with a bow around it. My daughter loves puppies so we went ahead and turned this on. About 20 minutes into the movie we kept asking ourselves, "where is the puppy"? The movie itself featured a bad story, bad acting, bad writing, and laughable special effects; all this would have been forgivable if it had entertained our children but alas it did not. I can't recommend this movie unless you and your friends want to have a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" type of experience. Taken in that context these types of movies can be very enjoyable.
