Critics across the country are absolutely rabid about their dislike for Warner Bros. dog tale “Max.”
The movie follows a boy (Josh Wiggins) who adopts dog that his dead brother (Robbie Amell) trained for the military. It currently has a 41 percent rating on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie also stars Thomas Haden Church, Lauren Graham and Jay Hernandez. It is being taken to task by reviewers for being hokey and overly sentimental, while also trying to shoehorn in a subplot about gun running that doesn’t seem to fit in with the kid-friendly fare.
