Am I Missing Something?

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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

This movie, specially made for kids have been obviously inspired by Disney, some magic can be seen, but that magic will only work for child, and this will last only till breakfast, because the movie is bad, not too bad but simply bad. You can spend some time with your kids but that's all!. The resemble to Cruella De Ville (101 Dalmatians) in Anja is so obvious that you'll get laugh, the old man expert on computers is funny and also weird, and the PC dog that's more intelligent than Einstein is also funny, this unbelievable plot hides a story of finding a treasure that literally bored me to the edge!. If someone have read this and suddenly turn the TV on and see this, i recommend that quickly change to Disney channel!. Some people said that they wanted to see this movie because Billy Connolly made the dog's voice. Really?, who want to see a movie for a voice?, i won't and actually i have never listen "hey let's see Finding Nemo, there's Albert Brooks voice in it!", i saw it a shiny Sunday morning just before breakfast on TNT, and that's it!, no excuses.ABOUT THE MOVIE: PC is Alex's (Norman Kaye) dog, Alex is an old man that loves computers (you can said so because of the dog's name), and who has hidden 1 million dollars from Anja (Sandy Gore) an evil old witch (aka Cruella De Ville); Alex left the clues to find the money on a disk that send to his friend Susie (Caroline Guillmer) with his dog just before dying. PC finds some troubles giving the disk to Susie and ends on her neighbor's house, where a boy, Zac (Nathan Cavaleri) take the disk, but also finds that PC is a dog expert with the computers, they create a software that made the dog talk by some type of mechanism (this is where the long expected voice of Billy Connolly appears!), they join forces also with Susie's friend Samantha (Emilie Francois) in order to find this million dollar before Anja does. In this they face some funny and entertaining situations trough the movie.4/10! and sorry i have to go, breakfast is ready.

When I heard that a great Scottish comedian was voicing the canine hero of this film, I was quite looking forward to seeing what it is like. Unfortunately, it is not what I hoped for, in terms of a talking animals film also. Basically PC the dog witnessed the villain, French wig-wearing Samantha (Emilie François) killing his master, who in his dying moments tells him to take a disk with him. PC finds a place to hide in the house of a moved family, with son Zac (Nathan Cavaleri). But PC still can't tell anyone what has happened, so he learns to type onto a computer keyboard and speak. Zac decides to make this ability more accessible by putting a special growl translating speaker in a bow tie so that PC can talk, with the voice of Billy Connolly. The film until towards the end (well, that is bad as well) just has mucking about and too much chat. In the end, the disk reveals a treasure, that Samantha is looking for, and it has a stupid location. The only good thing about this film is Billy Connolly voicing the dog, other than that, it is absolute rubbish. Pretty poor!

PAWS is a generally great film. It, of course, has its bad points. But THE EXORCIST and other classics weren't perfect either. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be comparing a gruesome horror movie to a funny, Australian yarn. But I have, and that's that.The movie follows a dog called P.C., which leaves me wondering why the movie was named PAWS. Nevertheless, the dog is named P.C. and is owned by a man called Alex. He knows the whereabouts of one million dollars, so surprisingly scary Anja raids his apartment to get it. Alex sees her coming and hides the answer on a disk - which he then gives to P.C. The dog scampers off, beginning a quest to find Susie, who apparently needs the disk. Unfortunately, he's hit by Susie's new neighbour's car and needs to get her the disk without dying, and all the associated pain and suffering this usually causes.The acting is generally good. Zac could use a few acting lessons, and his little sister is enough to send you on a murderous rampage. One thing that really twits me: The Australian accents. God, I am an Australian myself (my profile tells lies)and even I find them annoying. Thank god Samantha sounds like a Brit. Hooray for the English!But then, we have some relief from the Australians in the form of Billy Connolly voicing P.C. However they got Billy Connolly to voice a character in such a small Australian movie I don't know, but anyway. How can a dog talk, you may wonder? He doesn't, actually. Zac the computer genius rigs him up with a special microphone that can understand his whimpers and barks, which then transfers them to a speaker which is hidden in a stylish (cough) orange bow tie. Surprisingly Sci-fi for such a movie, but what do you expect?The answer to the money's whereabouts will keep you guessing right until the end - and even then you will be wondering how in the hell they characters figured it out. A great movie - very underrated.Watch with the kids and get ready for a laugh.

Nice to see another great Australian film come out of our film industry. Acting was quite good for some unrecognised Australian(?) actors and an outstanding performance by comedian Billy Connolly.This is the second great animal flick to come out of Australia in recent years. Napoleon (1995) being the other.
