Anyone seen Show Dogs?


I don't have to watch it to see stupid humans once again being stupid. I checked the comments. I get that its a kids movie and scripting for that scene was inappropriate, but so is the script in a bunch of kids movies. The theme to nearly every Disney flick where an already princess or else a pauper marries a prince teaches kids the only way a girl means anything, or else the only way she can improve her status/station/living condition is to meet with some dude, have a dance and a song, fall madly in love as result an never divorce. As a kid, I never saw it that way, nor did I think I should emulate any of the characters, cuz ya know, fiction I fiction, reality is reality, people need to stop trying to blend the two together when they don't fit.

If parents are worried about what their kids are gonna see when watching something, test it out first. I know a few who do that with video games, and then first time their kids play it, they then have a pow-wow on it to see if the kids caught the underlying themes/crappola interjected into it by the makers, and whether or not any of them think any of the situations on the games either could or should be repeated in real life. I know it's "crazy" to think most kids are quite capable of viewing fiction for what it is, but most of them do just that every day. Except with zombies. apparently more of them think a zombie apocalypse is logically possible and going to happen than the ones who do not. This is stupid, and so are people.

On a side note, I've no idea why anyone would think the premise of this film is noteworthy enough to take anyone else to go see it. I miss Land Before Time and Homeward Bound, as cheesy and overblown in acting/writing as they were, because at least you could argue they made for decent kids' films. But we'll likely never see stuff like that again, cuz kid's no longer have the attention span or desire for such fare, and nor do parents. Such is life.
 
You want a movie with a crazy message watch Milk Money or better yet this review of it

 
No, I don't want another crazy message movie. I just wanted to know whether the people complaining about Show Dogs were loony or not.
 
This is maybe more of a problem for young kids - probably girls more than boys.



This girl "lil Tay" was flexing (showing off wealth) by being at properties that her real estate agent mother had access too. Her mom was recently fired.

Based on:
After what I’ve learned about it from another parent review...
I'm gonna go with yes, they are loony.

If she hasn't seen the movie, she isn't in a position to have an opinion on it. If she is worried that it might be unsuitable for her kids, she can always go see it herself before writing an article about it. But she can't justify writing an article critiquing a movie she hasn't seen, on the basis of hearsay reports from friends, unless she is a loony.

Maybe there's an issue here. Maybe not. But the author of the article claiming that there's an issue cannot possibly know, so she has no business publishing her article until she has taken the time to find out.

On an unrelated topic, a friend of mine is convinced that the Earth is flat. So I propose to write an article all about how dangerous it is to stray too close to the edge. Because I'm a loony who prefers second-hand accounts over easily obtained direct evidence. And somebody has to please think of the children!!!1!
 
That was my first thought, but it seems to be a thing spreading around the net.
