With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who's ever talked to their pet and anyone after some adrenaline. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Shelve it next to The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1927: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Our doggy hero is abandoned in the desert while in pup-hood. Upon reaching maturity, Tin Tin has undeservedly earned the reputation as a killer canine. Thus, the human characters spend most of their time hunting down the dog in hopes of collecting a huge bounty.
