The
Dog Who Saved Summer (2015/Anchor Bay
DVD)
Picture: C Sound: C Extras: D Film: C+
Zeus
(voiced by Mario Lopez) is a former K-9 living peacefully with all
together with his normal over competitive upper middle class family.
After a destroyed party (largely not his fault), Zeus is sent to
obedience school. But can he win the tournament and stop 3 bungling
burglars at the same time?
In
Sean Olsin's The Dog Who Saved Summer (2015), we get Zeus the
talking former police K-9 dog, he'd like nothing better than to stay
at home and be with his family. Unfortunately, the mother of the
house is a party planner and blames him for messing up her latest
party plans and then sent him to obedience school for retraining
afterwards. Now Zeus has to survive training under a military
obsessed dog trainer and his 'dogs', but when 3 local stooges break
out of jail to steal a priceless diamond it is up to Zeus to save the
day.
Oh
how the mighty has fallen.... Dean Cain (Lois & Clark,
a.k.a. formerly known for playing Superman when they could not
legally call him Superboy) ~boy... has he gotten big & heavy.
The was just an over the top children's dog movie where the dogs have
their own characters/voiceovers. While it had a great cast made up
of former popular actors including Mindy Sterling from Austin
Powers, it was string of one lined cliche dog movie.
The
anamorphically enhanced image and lossy Dolby Digital sound are even
weaker than the film and there are no extras.
