You can tell the actors in the movie have potential. The comedy value of the Scottish team is humorous, and they all do try. It's just a shame the writer, director, and pretty much everyone else involved in the movie has no talent at all.
One minute in and Possibly the worst CGI I have ever seen in a high budget movie ever. Followed then by some hideous accents, some horribly cliché story lines (struggle between newly met dad and son, old wise monologue that changes the plot, negative sad moment in last third), horrifying stereotypes (yeah, Scottish people have no idea what pizza is, and Londoners say cheerful and eat scones and talk about the queen; I was surprised that there were no bad teeth jokes), awful camera angles of chasing a dog, and a random green-screen where the crew forgot to film two shots, stupidly, but the bit that got me is one line. "paparazzi haven't had this much fun since the Prime Minister woke up naked in the monkey enclosure." This gag must have been created by the writer's children, obviously.
This movie didn't even feature the dog that much, which is strange considering the name of the film.
And I said whilst watching the movie "I bet there's some desperate love interest toward the end" ...there was. Like a sentence-worth.
Oh, and the soundtrack was both generic and boring. Random music, and a horrible attempt at finding a song with the word 'dog' in it. The only saving grace is that they didn't choose 'Who Let The Dogs Out'... Though they probably used it already in the first movie (finding THAT out was Mindblow in itself.)
