2012) Rufus
DRAMA/ HORROR
At the opening, an elderly lady kills herself by walking on front of a fast moving truck while teenage boy, Rufus looks on, standing and then waiting on a deserted highway. Because both viewers as well as the main characters are oblivious about Rufus's past history, he's then taken in by a sheriff, Hugh Wade (David James Elliot) and his wife, Jennifer (Kelly Rowan) to a small town, called Conrad. Coincidentally, both Hugh and Jennifer had just lost their own son who's about the same age as Rufus. Rufus even makes friends with the girl, Tracey (Merritt Patterson) that lives across the street from him. We get to know more about Rufus as well as the other characters as the movie processes. Written and directed by Dave Schultz was obviously inspired by the popular Swedish film from 2008, called "Let The Right One In", except that this movie kind of drags on like it's forever.
Plot summary

Suddenly, Rufus turns into a boy! Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics -- chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching a soccer ball with his mouth -- he immediately becomes the most popular kid around.

Alright Teenage Film For Pet People
This is a fine teenage film for all viewers to watch. I used to have a Golden Retriever named Newton. He was the family pet. He was great and had a fun personality. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. This teenage film is great for dog people. The storyline of this teenage film was alright. It could have been stronger but it fine. The cast selection was fine enough. I am a fan of Jace Norman. It appears that he knows what he is doing whenever he is in character. He has got a huge career in front of him. The crew did an alright job in creating this film. This teenage film reveals to viewers that pets are an important part of the world of today. This is a fine teenage film for everyone to watch.
Cute...
What to expect from a movie in which the dog turns into a boy, so it's quite cute for what it's proposed, cute, cute and watchable.... Let's go for both...
