I must admit, I was interested in watching this with my 12-year-old son. But after the first 30 to 60 seconds of the movie I started to realise it was taking a dark turn and probably wasn't for children. So we stopped watching. I later watched it myself just out of curiosity and found it to be compelling and hilarious. If you like the movie Ted, i'm pretty sure you'll find this movie is for you. I gave it a nine I feel like it's more of an eight but a lot of people are scoring it very very low which drags it down to a five. Which is far as I'm concerned is very disappointing for this movie.
Plot summary
Looking for their big break in Hollywood, best buddies Matt and Allan The Dog perform comedy at the iconic but fading club "Uncle Henry's." Life is good and simple for the comedic duo until they both fall in love with Ellie, Allan's new dog walker. When puppy love quickly turns to war, Allan runs away to get his 15 minutes of fame, but when the clock runs out and Allan hits rock bottom, will he have any friends left to save him?

The world needs movies like Allan the Dog
Allan is hilarious, Sam Daly and Alison Haislip are great in their roles, and it's a sweet story that doesn't take itself too seriously. In a world full of stressors, it's great to see movies like this coming out. Relax and have some fun with this movie!
Charmingly Funny with and Edge - My Honestly Biased Review
Steve Wright has an edge - his humor comes through clearly in this screenplay and the cast fit this production perfectly. This real life/puppet combination seems seamless, so much so that at moments I forgot that dogs can't talk (but don't tell Allan).
If you're expecting a movie with Best Picture potential, I'm not sure you'll find it here. But, if your looking for an entertaining film that holds the blood, sweat and tears of all those involved, you should definitely watch "Allan the Dog".
I give it 9 stars, but I admit I'm a bit biased. The cast and crew did an awesome job turning Allan into a star.
