... sickening. The girl was cute but I really wanted to slap the $%*# teeth out of the aggravating wench's mouth. Of course she can solve the crime that her police father can't even imagine exists. The whole thing was a constant string of near misses designed to put you on edge, but it only made me nauseous. At least the dog didn't talk. That would really have been the pits.
shareIf the dog could talk it would be even more unrealistic than it already was otherwise. I do agree that Julia was disrespectful, and disobedient, to her parents. This is especially disappointing for a supposedly christian film. Though I suppose if she were completely perfect, it would not have been as dramiticly interesting.
shareThis is a semi-believable, cute 'family' film up until the last 20 minutes; Yes, some cops are workaholics, and many have family issues, which is not great for the kids to see; And, yes teenage kids are emotional wrecks in many cases, but Cain's character does seem to have an unhealthy interest in the dog, so can you blame the girl? Then McKillip's character quickly does an 'about face', from envying the dog's relationship with Cain's character, to pining for the lost dog, which is a little too weird, but the time constraints of film make those kind of things so. But the last 20 minutes? A cops supposedly 'intelligent' kid breaks-and-enters to seize evidence (disallowed for a prosecution), and then both mother and daughter cower in terror, when in 'real life' both would likely be sufficiently trained to use the weapon(s) cops have in their homes to defend themselves in just such scenarios. Seeing McKillip alone makes this worth watching. Pretty sweet, even is she wasn't quite 'legal' when this was made.
