A pampered show biz dog, Rexx, not happy with the ridiculous wig and outfits his owner wants to dress it in, decides to escape. The next stop is at the local firehouse that is targeted for closing. The fire chief, Connor Fahey, figures his son Shane needs some sort of responsibility and entrusts the pooch to his care. At first, Dewey, as the boy names him, is not cooperative at all, but there little by little boy and dog will figure out they can be friends and help the station stay afloat.
Todd Holland directed this film that is targeted for a younger crowd that will be delighted by the antics of a smart dog interacting with his young master. Josh Hutcherson, who plays Shane is perfect for the part. Bruce Greenwood, an excellent actor is seen as Connor. This is a terrific actor who unfortunately has nothing to do since he is just an incidental piece in the large scheme of things. Four different dogs are given credit for their appearance as Rexx/Dewey.
A film that will amuse younger and older viewers looking for a light comedy.
