It was ok the basis of the story is nice but like someone else said the dialogue doesn't flow well and the spelling needs work.

Ok........it seemed like a disney film...a bad one....little kids would enjoy it work on making it more deep and relate it to kids or adults not dogs. |
From Michael Pertl |

Didn't like it so much. The dialogue didn't flow very well and the plot wasn't very inventive. |

It was funny and amusing, but with bad spelling. But i did like it |

Seems to repetive and work on your spelling dude. |
From chris |

It seems to repetive with Simon and everyone playing the music and everyone saying that its so good they have to tell others and how he meets the bass then almost the same way with the drummer. Also there are so many little mistakes like spelling and grammar. |
