FIREHOUSE DOG




Drama

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Bruce Greenwood: Captain Connor Fahey
Josh Hutcherson: his 12-year old son Shane
Steven Culp: Zach Hayden, former firefighter turned politician
Claudette Mink: Captain Presley

REVIEW
Although most people would seriously consider walking out at the beginning, hang in 10 minutes or so until the real movie begins. Despite the fact it lacks in originality and therefore somewhat predictable, it is still a pleasant outing.

There is some good acting by the principals and lots of action to keep our attention. All the requisite rude, offensive body noises are much in evidence for the younger target audience.

CLASSIFICATION
for sequences of action peril, some mild crude humor and language.

P.S.
Partly filmed in Toronto, Canada with the Fairmount Royal York Hotel the site of the awards ceremony (with Union Train Station in the background) while Casa Loma Garden Terrace was the setting for the reception party.
