12 Dog Days Till Christmas

The plot of the movie was actually so good! Really cute and heartwarming, telling the story of a troubled teen that gets a new perspective through court ordered juvenile probation and community service.

However, the script, the production, and much of the acting was really bad. B rating at best. A lot of the blocking was off, the angle the scenes were filmed felt homemade, and some of the lines were truly cringe. I feel the story would do very well remake and a higher budget to get experienced director and production team.

I would watch again for the story but I will definitely be cringing through some of it.

Probably would have been a cute movie, but the acting is so bad it makes you cringe. The actors were so terrible, I couldn't even finish the film.

The cast looks like it's full of a bunch of relatives of the casting agent. I love Christmas movies, but this is just B-A-D enough to compel me to write this review.

The main boy is a "lovable" foster kid, Jack, assigned to community service at a pet shelter run by 3 young girls -- not sure where the adults are. He has "anger" issues and a crush on the older sister of an equally angry redhead names Ryan. Jack is not only a terrible actor, he is clearly gay which wouldn't matter if they weren't trying to make a heterosexual love connection. To be clear, he isn't the only bad actor. The whole cast is terrible except for the probation officer. I'm not sure if is just the acting or the directing as well.

The movie is about 2 dysfunctional teens working together to get a bunch of misfit dogs adopted before Christmas. The "misfit" dogs are actually quite cute. If you can put up with the bad acting and you like dogs, maybe it's worth a look.

I watch a lot of films and some are so bad they are quite good, this does not fall into that category. This is just horrendous. Poor, very very poor acting, script was not good and the director must think he's the new Ed Wood, because he obviously doesn't think the audience care about details, like acting, script and editing. If you find a good review they are either lying through their teeth or was involved in the film. Although I would guess anyone involved in this film are probably doing other careers, because acting and film making is not their calling.

My wife and I had a blast watching this terrible movie. How did that kid get the main role? Who wrote this? The entire movie is 1000 "touching scenes" over and over. Can't believe I watched this entire movie. Holy crap it's bad!!!
