Trivia
The dog that plays Max is named Carlos in real life. Five dogs played his stunt doubles: Jagger, Pax, Dude, Pilot, and Chaos. See more »Goofs
In the parade, Tyler Harne has dog tags outside of his shirt. This is incorrect they should be under his shirt with the chain just visible on the back of his neck. This is a safety thing that he would have learned early on. They are not meant to be visible but for body identification only. See more »Quotes

I just saw Max yesterday at a screening in Vancouver and I loved it. After having watched the trailer I came in with low expectations, the story didn't seem very interesting and I wondered what they could do with the simple story line but I was pleasantly surprised. The film is very heart warming and entertaining. It had some action in it but the setup is very simple.There are no fancy computer graphics just good people/actors and a dog that's hard not to fall in love with. Its a feel good movie that's lovely to watch with family. The acting was good, I would recommend seeing this movie and will probably watch it again sometime.
