Opening this week in theaters and on VOD, the directed by Alex Renarivelo heretofore known, if at all, for direct to video racing sagas from a script by Renarivelo and his producer Ali Afshar, opens with a montage of video images of dogs being generally adorable, which montage then shifts to a depiction of dogs helping folks with autism and being generally of service.

After the dogs are great montage, theres hidden cam footage of an illegal puppy mill, in which dogs are kept in deplorable condition. The footage, we learn, is being captured by Sara Allison Paige and Trevor Michael King, two eager beaver young animal rights activists who work for a fictionalized PETA like organization.

Heres where little alarm bells went off for me. I know that non profits are insane and unhappy in their own ways, but Ive hardly ever gone into the offices of one and had it feel like a negative inside baseball simulation of, say, CAA. Sara gets a new assignment to pose as an intern and go undercover at a kennel run by Daniel Holloway, a family business that conveniently also employs Daniel Holloways in his early twenties son Will Jayson Blair, who is as hunky as Sara is comely. Said comeliness is emphasized in Saras casual wear as she walks into Wills life Will tells her to cover up a bit, as dad is conservative. Dad, that is, Daniel, is played by the aforementioned Remar, and at first, boy is he gruff. But we, and Sara, soon learn that Daniel is a responsible kennel man, who lavishes superb care on his dogs, and whatever problems with canines are afoot in the area are due to poachers near the Halloway land.

And heres where the film gets kind of weird when you realize that the casting of Remar has been completely against type, the better for the filmmakers to pull a switcheroo. The nature of said switcheroo is evident early on, but it becomes completely explicit when a fake TV commercial thats a meticulous pastiche of that Sarah Mac.

The movie goes on to argue that such agencies arent REALLY interested in animal welfare. The movie is shamelessly manipulative on several levels, and the cast members do their respective bits effectively. Paige and the very unfortunately named Jayson Blair no relation to the disgraced journalist, but maybe a middle initial is called for here are appealing, Remar clearly relished the opportunity to play a tough guy whos really super tender, Lea Thompson as the Halloway matriarch is very Lea Thompson esque, and so on. The movie has good production value, moves along nicely, but has rather goofy dialogue I thought this whole puppy saving thing was just something you were doing on the side, Saras dad says to her before she embarks on her mission. But imagine my surprise when I started to watch what I thought maybe would be some kind of heart tugging animal centric melodrama and instead got a pretty bald piece of anti SPCA andor PETA propaganda. Thats not a diss, incidentally propaganda isnt always bad, but thats what this is the movie literally ends with a title card saying Learn The Truth Investigate Before You Donate.
