Chestnut: Hero of Central Park

Such a good movie I was so happy to see it available for purchase. A must watch. Siblings support each other

Will put in Christmas basket.

I like it a lot , wonder movie for the whole family!

After suffering through weeks of listening to Miracle Dogs Too (my daughter watches DVDs during our hour and a half daily commute to work/daycare), I couldn't stand it anymore. So I ordered this movie with my next Amazon order.And I'm so glad that I did! The acting is great (Abigail Breslin - love her!!!), the script is cute and believable, and could Chestnut be any cuter? My toddler is a little young to really follow the story line (she likes "buddies" - her word for puppies), but there are a few parts that choke me up every time I listen to it.Chestnut renews my faith that straight-to-DVD movies actually can be watchable.

This is such a cute movie. My girls first saw this at around age and loved it. They just saw again and it was a hit. We have watched this multiple times lately. Be prepared, it’s a tear jerker but ends up well!

We rented this movie on Amazon and enjoyed it so much we bought it. It is a great movie for the kids. Absolutely no foul language, no sexual content or implications, which is very rare even in kids videos these days. This would be a great edition to any families video library. It also demonstrates patience by adults toward kids and I think that is a very important, positive feature of this movie.

I'm very picky about the types of movies that my boys ages 5 and 8 watch. I typically avoid anything with bathroom humor or cursing of any kind. This movie was one of the most appropriate movies I've seen recently for young kids. Other than the fact that the girls are being deceptive by hiding the dog from their adoptive parents and taking the blame for the dog's messes to keep their secret safe, the lessons learned in this movie are pretty positive. The humor is a little unbelievable, but my boys laughed so hard that it didn't bother them that adults can't really swing from a ceiling fan, etc. There were two fairly brief scenes where alcohol was involved. In one the adoptive mom is toasting wine with her friends at work over the upcoming adoption, and in another there is a wedding reception where guests are seen drinking from cocktail glasses, although all eyes are really on the dog who is crashing the party. I appreciated that there weren't any immodestly dressed people in the movie and no swearing. There is one comment about "a place to poop" but it is when the girls move to their new high rise NYC apartment and the adoptive mom shows them the balcony connected to their room, and the little sister points out excitedly that there is a place for the dog to go. So, it's not the typical potty talk and crude humor in most kids movies. All in all it's a winner.

This was a cute movie.My five year old loved it. A little tearful in some parts .It still ended well though. The two little girls were very good actors in this movie and very relatable. I give it five stars because my daughter loved it so much. Even though the concept of hiding a dog until its full grown from any adults is a little unrealistic. Still a sweet movie.
