Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I base this review on the first story from the first episode, so there is the caveat that the series may have gone in a different direction after this. The episode presented a dramatic and interesting story solving the problem of an aggressive dog. Giving the show 3 stars isn't about the entertainment factor. My concerns are: 1. There was very little explanation of what the family was doing wrong that led to such severe behavioral problems. What went wrong with the three trainers that couldn't solve the problem? Nothing. 2. The only solution presented was a trip to Cesar's million dollar dog paradise ranch. This made for good drama (Cesar rides in to the rescue!) but there is a need to better balance storytelling with education. How do owners whose dogs can't go to the magic ranch deal with problems?
