Movie#88 "12 Dogs of Christmas" is okay. The title is witty, the story takes place in the depression which offers teachable moments if you are watching it with kids, a bit slow in the set up, but has an inspiring ending, but the acting was bad. That didn't seem to bother my niece who liked it a lot (she's 11) and everyone else watching it who seemed intrigued through the whole story --- I hadn't seen the story really before, but it's hard to picture a town forbidding any dogs and some of the other things that happen in this far "fetched" tail (sorry, couldn't resist), but it teaches a good lesson ---- where would we be without our canine friends?

The 12 Dogs of Christmas
(2005) G
In this heartwarming holiday tale set during the Great Depression, 12-year-old Emma (Jordan-Claire Green) brings the meaning of Christmas to a small rural town during a bleak season. Sent to live with her Aunt Delores (Bonita Friedericy) in down-and-out Doverville, the irrepressible Emma sets out to treat the community to an inspiring pageant starring some spirited canines -- much to the dismay of the local dog catcher (John Billingsly).
