7/10I loved it. It's a unique movie, and Indy (dog) deserves an Oscar for acting so well in this movie.

The first time the dog whined my dog was very interested in what was going on. By the end of the movie she didn't care at all. We were on the same page.

I loved the non-human STAR of this film, I hope to see him in more films in the future, as he has a…
