(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1   "'Firehouse Dog' is sure to please most youngsters despite its silly scenes showing an Irish terrier's pampered life as a movie star."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D- "It was during the scene in which the titular character defecates into a stew prepared for dinner where I thought, ya know, this isn't harmless family entertainment anymore; it's a declaration of war on intelligence."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "Most of the film sits firmly in a comfort zone of fart jokes and dogs doing cool tricks."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "A quality dramedy that knows how to satisfy its target audience. Rexxx is talented in tricks and stunts, but this is Josh Hutcherson's film all the way."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's about a boy and his dog, and also about firefighters, and so I don't see how it's possible not to have warm feelings toward it."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "The fun-loving flea-bitten fable Firehouse Dog is a cutesy kiddie comedy that unfortunately barks up the wrong tree."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng "Rin Tin Tin would never have okayed a script like this."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 2/5 "There were plenty of fart jokes and dog burps to make my kids laugh."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 1.5/4 "Almost two hours of tedious vulgarity, which leaves plenty of time to feel sorry for Greenwood, whose efforts to deliver a warm, subtle performance are regularly upstaged by poo jokes and bratty hijinks."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "A perfectly excruciating mix of stupidity and sentimentality..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C "An uncomfortable blending of three different stories that neglects the one thing we want to see -- the relationship between the boy and the dog."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Had it been made shortly after 9/11, Firehouse Dog might have seemed like a shameless attempt to marry the country's reverence for the New York Fire Department with Air Bud."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "The strong performances and sharp dialog more than make up for some corny effects."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "This larger-than-life cartoon of a trained dog has more character than the two-legged co-stars."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1.5/5 "throws most of its well-chewed bones to the youngest of patrons and treats ticket-purchasing parents like hydrants."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "Scruffy, spirited, family-friendly comedy with too many flatulence jokes and pooch-related puns."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1
