Audience Reviews

DogsLoveMe 1/10 Oct 27, 2025
Wow what a snoozefest of a movie! Actors are just going through the motions, nothing new or creative at all from the writing or director. I literally fell asleep, not joking.

I recommend that people watch the version from the 90s, it's ten times better than this rehashed movie. Plus the actors are great in that one!
