The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation DVD Review and Giveaway

I love holiday movies.  In fact, we keep them out all year long to enjoy them whenever we want.  We recently received The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation. Johnny and I sat down to watch it last weekend and both of us really had a great time.  We laughed and had fun watching this adorable movie.

Here is a bit more information:

The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation (SRP $19.98) follows the Bannister family to a beautiful Rocky Mountain ski lodge for their long-awaited holiday vacation.  Upon their arrival, however, it soon becomes clear that this trip will be no dog walk in the park!

Obnoxious relatives and their prissy poodle Bella (voiced by Paris Hilton) are staying at the house too, and they want little to do with the Bannisters or Zeus (voiced by Mario Lopez), despite his growing “puppy love” for the cutest new pooch in town.

Meanwhile, the hooligans who attempted to ruin the Bannister’s Christmas last year are up to their old tricks.  They’ve made their way to the ski resort too – with plans to snatch a diamond necklace from a resort guest.  When the necklace is mistaken for Bella’s dog collar the cantankerous crooks kidnap the pampered poodle and it’s up to Zeus to once again save the day.

Showcasing a pack of terrific talent, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation stars Gary Valentine (“King of Queens”), Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” Abandoned), Elisa Donovan (Clueless, “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”), Casper Van Dien (“Watch Over Me,” The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb), and Mindy Sterling (“iCarly,” the Austin Powers trilogy), Adrienne Barbeau (Fly Me to the Moon).  Kayley Stallings (“Monk”), Brennan Bailey (My Sister’s Keeper) bring two fresh young faces to the cast as the Bannister children.

This is a family-friendly and super cute movie that both Johnny and I enjoyed. Johnny loved that the dogs talked and I loved that there was a message in the movie. At the beginning there is some animosity between the two dads in the movie but, at the end, they come together to celebrate Christmas together. Even the dogs in the movie can teach your children a lesson on friendship and love.

We loved this movie! It will certainly be on our shelf all year round!
