Dove Review

This British film, set in Manchester, England, takes you into the life of one young boy. He causes a chain reaction of events due to his actions. Goose doesn’t want his father to leave the house on Christmas so he hides his father’s car keys and by doing this it leads to a series of life-changing events for a lot of people.

When Goose’s dog Mutt gets lost, he must start his search and in doing so he meets a strange fellow named Anthony. Anthony has a gift that no one can understand but he can help find lost things. So the trail to finding Mutt leads them on a continuous line of intertwining mishaps that connect all these people in the story.

The film is a heartwarming story about how one seemingly innocent action can affect so many people. The film also shows how one action can change a person’s life. We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12+.
