    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Filmed at Pinewood Studios in Cardiff, Wales.
    • Goofs
      Just as Frank is about to be struck by the propeller of the Piper Chieftain Max is taxiing in the hangar, Mattie pulls a red handle on the cockpit floor, stopping the aircraft. What Mattie is pulling up is not a brake handle, but is in reality the handle for the emergency gear extension hydraulic pump and is not part of the aircraft's brake system at all.
    • Quotes

      Frank: What kind of dog likes hip-hop?

    • Crazy credits
      Credits contain supposed "bloopers", many of which involve computer-generated characters messing up.
    • Alternate versions
      Two scenes were cut upon the second week of its US theatrical release - these edits also apply to the home release. After receiving complaints, presenter/distributor, Global Road Entertainment deemed them inappropriate for children. They concerned the subplot of Max having to have his testicles touched by the show judges. However, all UK (and therefore Irish) releases are uncut with the same PG rating - according to the BBFC, this is because the controversial scenes are "entirely innocent, non-sexual and occur within the clear context of preparation for and judging in a dog show".

    A decent little movie...especially for kids
    If you want a deep thought provoking movie...this ain't it. If you want side-splitting, laugh-a-minute comedy... this ain't it. If you want a cute light-hearted movie to spend an hour and a half on and leave the theater feeling a little better than you went in...go for it.

    Think "Miss Congeniality" meets "Homeward Bound" and you won't be disappointed.
