I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jack Whitley is a troubled, but talented foster kid. He doesn't have much hope for this Christmas, until he begins his community service at a no-kill animal shelter. Jack meets 3 lovely young women there. Blair, Hillary, and Ryan. Just a few days after he begins working there he gets the most terrible news. The shelter is going to close by Christmas. Which means all of the dogs there are going to be hauled off to the city pound, where most of them will be put down. Will they get all of the dogs adopted within the short deadline of 12 days? You'll have to watch it to find out! 12 Dog Days Till Christmas is a touching story of hope, friendship, and family. It's a new Christmas classic!

I enjoyed the film. A lot of haters and mean people who write reviews, but it was very touching and enjoyable to me. Fun Holiday film that my friends and I enjoyed watching. This touching film is about a foster kid and a shelter dog. Jack is the kid who has been a foster kid in the system for years and he is about ready to turn 18 with no family. He ends up having to do community service and starts to connect with the dogs in the shelter, since they are in the same situation. Both of them want to have a family and home. Loved the story and it has a theme of having faith. It has a Christian type of theme, which not all people will appreciate, but we did. It is a good message for all kids and people. A feel good film! I personally dealt with a difficult childhood and I really enjoy positive films. Therefore, I would recommend this film.

Really,such bad acting. The dogs were adorable (that's why it's not a one star) and you could tell they tried. They're the reason I kept watching. The humans were ridiculous. How does that even happen? It's like the script was written the night before and the high school drama club would have done a much better job. It could have been a wonderful movie and I hope someone rewrites it and either gives the actors more time to learn the lines...extra takes when they screw up and let them/hope they can...get into their characters more. I'm not all the way through it yet and I certainly hope everything works out perfectly at the end...that IS protocol for these movies after all.

Seriously terrible acting! The guy from Family Matters aside, and a couple others with small parts no one in this movie can act. The movie seriously has value to teach actors how not to "Act". The "Acting" at times was comical when it shouldn't be. Exaggerated forced emotion, exaggerated forced facial expressions, and then at other times the opposite virtually no emotion. It was just odd, and makes you feel embarrassed for them. I recommend this movie as an example of "acting". Acting is what you never want in a movie. You want natural, smooth, fluid human speech/reactions/expressions. This movie contains very little of that, and only gets worse as the movie proceeds. Enjoy!
