The movie is fun but kinda boring, there are some funny moments. It has a kinda great storyline and kinda great characters, but the end was predictable and no big deal. Also the dog scenes are kinda bad, yet cute. I think some of the lines are suggestive. Some scenarios and clothes are beautiful. The sheriff is very hot and big *.*

Plot summary
When humble rancher Rick Patterson marries movie star Sabrina Eastman, his son Josh (10) finds himself with a new step-sister, Lacey (14). Josh is an introverted boy who doesn't have a lot of confidence and Lacey is a spoiled Hollywood brat who's angry at Sabrina for not letting her have her own reality show. The two kids do not get along and neither do their respective dogs: Josh's dog Meatball is a scruffy, farm mutt who's laid-back and friendly; Cassie is a prim, spoiled, purse city dog who is not into country living. Rick and Sabrina go on their honeymoon for a couple of days, leaving Lacey and Josh in the care of Krystal, a hippie-trippy New Age neighbour. When Lacey sees some people outside the house one night, she starts to think someone is watching the house but Josh dismisses her fears. However, as Cassie quickly develops her 'country nose', she learns that Lacey wasn't wrong. She and Meatball discover that a pair of bumbling crooks, Louie and Terrance, are plotting to steal Sabrina's prized possession - the valuable North Star diamond. Josh and Lacey discover that they are not as different as they imagined, and soon they realize something is definitely going on around their house. When Louie and Terrance kidnap the dogs and trick Josh and Lacey into going on a wild goose chase to find them, the crime is afoot. Meatball and Lacey escape their captors and must team up to prevent the two criminals from getting their hands on the diamond. It's dog versus man in a slapstick battle of wits. All leashes are off!

Okay
Home Alone, but with dogs
I watched this movie this evening via the free IMDb TV app on Roku. Whilst both of my dogs loved it and barked like crazy, it reminded me of the Home Alone movies and of culture shock when you take someone out of their normal peddy buse wah environment and introduce them to something entirely different.
So bad it's good.
Take a silly, juvenile, utterly cliche script, add some really bad acting, Throw in poorly voiced dogs. Add the worst acted bad guys you could never even have imagined and you'll have a grip on this film. That being said, there is no foul language, no gratuitous sex, nudity or violence. Which is surprisingly refreshing. It is clearly a low budget film and the direction is amateurish at best. But it is family watchable and those kinds of movies are few. The kids will like the dogs.
