I can't believe I have to write this, but parents need to be warned that there are actual child grooming messages in this movie.
The entire success of the main dog's mission rests on him overcoming his trauma about having his genitals inspected, and acquiescence to being interfered with by an authority figure. I kid you not.
There are several questionable scenes encouraging him to disassociate while being traumatised 'down there', and then when he eventually submits the trauma is painted as wonderful. I cannot believe this movie was allowed to be made let alone released and marketed to children. I am surprised there isn't more of an uproar about it.
The rest of the movie is also unfunny and boring. So it's not for adults either.
