What a wonderful life lesson.
I've noticed a strange uptick in "faith-based" family films to have very little to do with religion. I'm thinking either 1. Religious movies have gotten so much of a stigma in being "preachy" (which...yeah) that they've started to take the opposite route and try to have as little of The Message as possible, or 2. Whenever somebody has a bad script, they know they can just throw in some religious references and get sold to a faith-based studio no matter what. Probably both.
Similar to YA fiction. Is your sci-fi/fantasy novel just a hair above fan fic? Publishers can just slap a YA tag on it and sell the sub-standard writing as being aimed at younger readers rather than simply formulaic and amateurish.

The dog being Socrates is so incredibly bonkers and so remarkably underused, it's almost noteworthy for how utterly unmemorable the actual film itself seems.
And does that mean the film is suggesting that Socrates was the 13th disciple of Jesus? Does the screenwriter know that Socrates died 400 years before Jesus existed, and was also probably an atheist?
@@amityislandchum I feel like "athiest" is probably not a directly applicable concept to a society where the norm was old-school polytheism, but yeah he definitely didn't follow Jewish Carpenter King.
@@nersbabs Technically for "corrupting the youth" but what I think what actually happened is that a bunch of powerful people got sick of Socrates constantly calling out their nonsense/errors. This was combined with the fact that Socrates seemed to have kind of enjoyed ticking people off, like, when he was found guilty, he was allowed to suggest a punishment, and he suggested "Give me free lunch every day". Though, this IS all filtered through history and translations and such, as anything is.
@@Robocopnik Yup, he wasn't condemned for being an "Atheist". He supposedly tried to corrupt the youth and make them worship Daimones instead of the Gods. Most of those claims were utter bullshit, which he profoundly debunks in any version of his Apology, (the most famous one being the one of Plato, and probably the most accurate one too), because his only "crime" was pointing out the idiocy of others. It was about the fact, that "I only know that I know nothing, which makes me the wisest person on earth, because I at least know that one thing for sure, compared to everyone else who thinks they are wise but actually don't know anything, and not even that they know". That is to be seen in the context that many people make rash decisions because they assume they know best. He basically showed every class of people in Athens how hubristic they were when making any decision on, let's use a modern word, burgeoise and uninsightful assumptions.

I was almost expecting the plot to be "You were my talking dog when I was a kid and you left me and I've been heartbroken for the past 25 years", and for the lesson to be about letting go.
Reminds me of when I was searching Amazon for Christmas movies and went more than a couple pages into the category. I ended up in the low-budget religious films, many of which seem to be competing to be the ultimate trials of Job Christmas carol. I recall one had the plot of man loses job, loses house, starts living in a car, but still has faith. The end. No happy ending. No warm meal, not even a drive through happy meal for the kids. Faith will fill your starving bellies, kids... well, maybe in the sequel. Merry Christmas.
Idk, I kinda like that plot. Sounds like the one rare Christian movie that doesn't lie to you. "Have all the faith you want, but it absolutely will not help you, end your suffering, or change a damn thing in your life."
@@anthonyhorn5914 I half expected a final title card "That night, a carbon monoxide leak lead to the death of the whole family, save the father. He still maintains his faith."
The black FBDI guy / Howie sung a great song in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend called "Don't Be A Lawyer", highly recommend listening to it, it's such an ear worm. Looks like life got hard for Jim after he stopped being a lawyer 😫
The two FDBI guys are by far the best part of this movie (as far as I can tell from this video). They are 100% committed to their bizarre characters, and you can tell they're the only ones who actually know how to act.
yo show of hands, who wants to see Roses re-cut this movie as a horror trailer like she did with the weird christmas angel movie? like, all you'd have to do was imply the dog was actually demonic in nature, causing strife in the family by manipulating the one kid who can understand it and putting a riff between the mom and everyone else, and you've got the animal planet re-make of Amityville Horror right there.
I love how the dog pees on her shoes, yet she feels the need to shower. You could just wipe off the shoes and put the socks/pants in the washing machine.
Does anybody else get the impression that the dad in this movie is... you know... He marries a woman who he seems to barely know, shows her very little affection, and then immediately leaves to spend a week in San Francisco. If you look up the actor, his most recent credit is a short film that seems to deal with gay themes, so maybe it's just the actor giving off those vibes, but I don't know. Coincidentally, the actor voicing the dog has a bunch of horny gay comedies in his filmography, and he also co-wrote Sox. The director, though, mostly seems to produce crazy conspiracy documentaries about aliens and cryptids and weed.
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry I used to be a graphic designer in a book editing company focusing on children litterature and we were playing the game of "hide the comic sans ms" like a stupide graphic designer private joke (and when we could let a Lorem Ipsum left somewhere we did). So I always appreciate the use of this typography (I even hope to have this font used on my tombstone 😂) Édit : I suspect I'm not the only one playing this game because there is a (french, I think) brand of japanese food called Tanoshi and the contents inside (that you're supposed to be mixed in hot water you know) of their miso soup it's all written in comic sans on the packets. So the outside packaging is all nice and minimalist in the kind of black Rick Owens-like and on the inside you have big green comic sans ms everywhere, I can't help but think this a packaging designer private joke !
@@dovelugosi Maybe it's the lateness of the hour, but something about the idea of a Comic Sans engraved tombstone is absolutely hysterical to me Even though the only thing I think I'd be getting from the epitaph is "Here Lies a Clown"
@@BlackOrderAlchemist 🤣 you're so right ! Imagine this : a tombstone with the clown emoji (well it doesn't have the same meaning now but let's take take it litterally a clown) with the word "clown" in Comic Sans MS and an arrow pointing to the ground 👏
as a Ghost fan, hearing the sound bite at 5:52 nearly made me spit chicken tendies all over my monitor. i haven't even finished watching the video yet, i had to pause it to laugh and write this comment.
I immediately recognised Hooger, so I looked him up and realised it's because I used to watch Caroline in the City and I'm now regretting this public admittance.
Hey I liked that show. Even if just cos LEA THOMPSON! Also was strange that it connected Friends with the universe of Frasier/Cheers/Wings by having appearances from Chandler in one episode (Lea played Caroline in episode of Friends that aired the same night) and Niles and Daphne in another. :O
TY That was driving me crazy. I thought maybe suddenly Susan or news radio. Now I remember him. He was useless in that show but from what I remember everyone else was too.
I feel like Dale's thing would've worked better if instead of actually kidnapping Sox, he was about to (let's say the family is asleep or out so they don't notice him around) only for Sox to spot him and go "hey, let's talk this out." Then instead of the torture we get Dale spilling his guts, he doesn't get knocked out, and maybe he becomes a family friend/Sox' dogsitter.
What a dumb sentiment. If someone makes a film, does that not make them a film maker? Also, how would aspiring film makers get to make films? What happens when all the current "valid" film makers die? Do new films just not get made? What that statement should be followed by is "and not by people who want to just make products, profits and propaganda".
Night at Terror Tower Goosebumps review with Dominic Noble!!!! It’s about princes, England and kids horror!!! When will we be getting this long awaited collab?!?!
I am convinced Dale was secretly another dog that's been turned into a human. And more specifically, Dale had originally been *dun dun dun* Judas' dog! Maybe Sox knew someone in the house was allergic to "purple" and was trying to save them from anaphylaxis? There ya go, movie. I gave Sox motivation for not lying low like he was supposed to.
Or Matthias, who's generally who I think of in the 13th disciple, albeit he's only mentioned in Acts and wasn't officially designated by Jesus, since he was already dead at the time
The overall plot wasn't a bad idea: talking dog teaches family the meaning of friendship and importance of listening/sharing. They just needed to invest in a decent script. But then we wouldn't have had this awesome review. Thank you for another great video!
I dunno what it is about your content, but something about it just bring me utmost joy and for that I must thank you. Oh and also the fact that I'm now binge watching Murder She Wrote, now that I'm old enough to not think it's only for grandparents
@@sandrafaith When I saw the name "David DeLuise" pop up in the credits, I wondered if he was related to Dom! Clearly the apple fell very far from the talent tree. Ironic that Dom starred in the best religious-themed movie about talking dogs of all time: All Dogs Go to Heaven.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out why David DeLuise is in this?? Just, how?! This man is a son of legendary actor Dom DeLuise. He's been on Stargate SG1, Wizards of Waverly Place, 3rd Rock from the Sun. He even had a bit part in Robin Hood: Men in Tights! I'm so confused.
I can't help but think about how Sesame Street eventually had the adults learn Mr Snuffleuphagus was real because there had been a bunch of high profile cases of CSA in the news and the decided it was important to teach kids that they could go to adults and be believed whenever I see these "kid has to keep a secret from their parents" stories now
This movie teaches important lessons! Like women need to have higher standards Red flags in relationships The people who made this movie have messed up ideas about women
If you want to watch something involving a talking dog that helps out two brothers, involves actual religious undertones, and involves a grown man behaving like a dog -- may I recommend the Supernatural episode "Dog Dean Afternoon"? It's hilarious, it's campy, it's fun, and it is frequently still horrifying. Plus, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki 😍😍😍
That bit about Dale getting attacked by a dog (3:45) sounds like they were spoofing an Always Sunny scene. The one with Dennis and Charlie making a false police report with a detective.
In the movie “Dogma”, Chris Rock plays the 13th apostle - back from the dead. Had he voiced the dog instead of discount M J Fox, this would have been a very different movie…. rated “R”. Or “Arrr”. 🐶
This is utter insanity, just everything, and that voice? So bonkers! Love your videos, even though this was a little brain breaking, still totally cheered up my day seeing a roses video pop up on the feed!
Almost spat out my food when i realized the dogcatcher is Burl Moseley, the guy who sings "Don't Be A Lawyer" from Crazy-Ex Girlfriend. Glad he's gone from this to winning an actual Emmy lol
Yeah I thought it was going to be like The Shaggy Dog. Dale switched himself with Sox, so Sox in Dale's body was trying to find and get back in his dog body. Definitely would've been better then how bad this review makes the movie sound.
@@GrimmShadowsII I absolutely thought this was the direction they were heading too. That would at least have... well, made sense would be going too far, but at least would have been understandable
This movie actually reminds me of another Religious Based movie with a Talking dog in it. It's called Quiggly. Something about a guy leading a horrible sinful life, so as punishment he gets turned into a dog and has to learn how to love or something. And while that sounds like a good premise on paper, I remember the movie being so boring it gave me migraines. Compared to Quiggly, this movie is actually the king of Dog-based Religious Movies.... which is a whole genre apparently.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage There's even an episode on 3rd Rock (I think it's in the last season) where Dom Deluise actually plays Bug's father in the show.
@@calessel3139 I don't remember that episode, but it has been years since I last watched that show. I have been wanting to revisit it. It was a damn good show.
You know what would have been a good plot twist. Dale and Sox use to be a dog and a human respectively, and then something happened to make them switch bodies. Dale finds out that he doesn't like being a human while Sox is perfectly fine living as a dog since it means no work and no clothes.
Wait... Is this dog Judas?? Wasn't Judas the thirteenth disciple??? Oh when you mentioned you thought Dale was a dog in a human's body, I thought there was gonna be a twist where Sox and Dale had swapped bodies, and the reason Dale was so hellbent on catching him was to get his body back.
The Gospel of John mentions an "Other Disciple whom Jesus Loved" several times in addition to the core 12 whose identity has been the subject of much debate. Apparently according to this movie... Jesus had a dog. And the dog is immortal. And the dog has been to Mars.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I mean...Christians generally aren't against dogs, Muslims are much more particular and, interestingly seem to have no issue with cats, but dogs, barring certain uses, are seen as dirty and unclean, or at least stuff they lick. Companionship is oddly seen as secondary for dogs (versus hunting, protection, etc), while Muhammed himself had a beloved pet cat he freaking cut off the sleeve of his robe to go pray because Muezza was sleeping on it
I think this is what happens when Canada pays people to make MEDIA product to keep them employed, Canada make-work production is my guess. The same cast probably has reassembled and made 20 other MEDIA product. Based on scripts from writers who are also in Canada.
I remember Canadian radio stations used to have to play about 80% Canadian artists. So you heard the same songs over and over. I would have preferred to hear new, bad songs!
@@lazyhomebody1356 CanCon rules started in 1971 but were at 25% they were raised over the years and are now about 40% for music radio stations. It was never repealed it just stopped being repetitive. The reason you probably think it was like 80% is you were listening to a station at a non-peak time and they were filling their quota by playing all their Canadian music then so they could play other stuff at peak times. Also in the early 70s there was not that much Canadian music but at some point there were enough Canadian recordings to fill things out without being repetitive as the music industry grew substantially.
I once saw David DeLuise in a Budweiser commercial back around early-mid 2003. He played an unnamed news anchor walking up to the house of Dale Earnhardt Jr. (the NASCAR driver Bud sponsored at the time) with a cameraman in toe, to ask Dale Jr. for an interview. Search for it on here to see it for yourselves.
god i love weird religious movies; i went to a catholic high school where i was forced to watch christian movies and a fascination with how bad and backwards they were has followed me around since. i'd love if you covered more of them.
Yet another perfectly presented production from PushingupRoses. I'd love to see you delve more into this really odd faith-based movie hole, if you are so willing. I've run into reviews of other movies that're just as weird as this one that I'd love to hear your take on.
5:51 thrilled to hear a half-second reference to GHOST in one of your vids, I love them so much! Also David DeLuise (who played Thomas, I think?) is the son of Dom DeLuise. I was just watching Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" last night and caught his name among the cast and crew. He's worked in film, but a lot of his credits are films like these and TV shows where he was in a few episodes. He's a decent actor, and that's about it, lol.
Hi, PushingUp, I love your content. Every upload brings me great joy. I love your sense of humor and your voice. You are like the best friend I never had, and I would be honored to support your coffee habit. I first got into your channel when I found your video of The Adventures of Pete and Pete which happened to be one of my favorite shows of all time. Now I subscribe and adore your videos and your honest and heart felt personality. Keep up the good work, you are totally awesome.
It’s like that trope where the wife/mom is gaslighted being told they’re the problem like they’re uptight and shit while everyone including her kids and husband give her a hard time stress her out and dgaf about her and downplay her feelings don’t listen to her etc but especially the husband because he’s a grown ass man so it’s even worse than the kids I rly rly hate it
2:23 He acted in Wizards of Waverly Place as Selena Gomez dad. Dude, hard times is Really hitting him bad for him to act in this. I feel kinda sorry for him. 8:04 How I feel about this Movie.😂
All the DeLuises look so damn similar that I can never remember which one of them was in silly Disney Channel shows, which one was in Jump Street, and which one was in Gilmore Girls.
I just missed Wizards of Waverly Place age-wise, so I know David Deluise as Pete Shanahan from Stargate SG-1, but I had the same reaction to seeing him in this of just...why? Poor guy.
If you like family friendly dog movies, you should do a brief history of the buddy movies. How they are talking puppies now with their own dedicated studio. The super pups TV series is hilarious.
Wow it reminds me of the movies they'd show in school when it wasn't quite a snow day and the only teachers who made it in were the churchy ones who weren't hungover.
Fun story when my family and I adopted my dog my mom did say his legs look funny. He has leg deformities in his front legs and she was the first to notice. We love him regardless and make sure he’s doing the best he can. He’s the best dog.
Hey Roses Love your videos, especially since I share your love for adventure games and murder mysteries. And that brings me to my actual point. My fave murder mystery show is an anime called detective Conan (or case closed, as it was called in the anglosphere). It was pretty big in my country when I was a kid. Like most early animes it sadly got a bit destroyed in the us cause of bad dubbing and marketing choices, so it got canceled pretty quickly there. But because of that I’m pretty interested in if u know it and if so, what ur thoughts on it are. Would love seeing a video abt that someday. But even if not, keep up the good work and greetings from Germany
I literally cried in Chapter 1004 when Ran and Shinichi kissed and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Finally. After half my lifetime spent reading the manga, they got together.
Ironically biblically speaking that dog was more demonic coded than angelic Possessed animals? Check Encouraged sins? Lying, not respecting mother and father check Caused chaos just because? Check Mental manipulation? Check (although that one is an attribute of both sides)
I mean,...I'd sooner buy the idea that he's reincarnated or even trying to put a twist somewhere on the Wandering Jew, even though that tends to be either a Roman soldier (Which is weird that he's called a Wandering Jew) or a rabbi that mocked Jesus on the cross, that situation generally where the folklore comes from: Jesus saying that they won't die until he returns
Talking about that tendency in kid's movies to have the supernatural element tell kids not to trust their parents reminds me of how the Learning Company decided to have Snuffleupagus reveal himself to the humans on Sesame Street. When he was first introduced, only Big Bird would see him, he'd mess stuff up, and when the adults came in later, no one would believe Big Bird that Mr. Snuffleupagus was the one really doing stuff and would blame him. They quickly came to realize this was teaching kids the wrong lesson that you can't go to trusted adults with things because they won't believe you, and particularly in response to the scandal around priests and alter-boys, they didn't want that to be the message they were putting out. So, he showed up in front of everyone and the adults apologized to Big Bird for not believing him and promise to do better in the future. Absolutely insane that they realized this in the 90's but people still make children's entertainment revolving around doing the opposite.
I grew up watching Sesame Street and used to get a stomach ache everytime the adults missed seeing Snuffy. Can't believe it was the 90s before the writers got a clue.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I should have looked it up, for some reason I was remembering it being later than it was. It was back in the '85. That makes it all the more confusing about people later making parodies of Sesame Street not knowing he was real, like they should have grown up with that being the fact. Anyway, besides the point.
As a fellow childhood fan, I would love to see you cover the We Sing series. I feel like the wholesome cheesiness combined with your sense of humor would be spectacular.

I ended up in the low-budget religious films, many of which seem to be competing to be the ultimate trials of Job Christmas carol. I recall one had the plot of man loses job, loses house, starts living in a car, but still has faith. The end. No happy ending. No warm meal, not even a drive through happy meal for the kids. Faith will fill your starving bellies, kids... well, maybe in the sequel. Merry Christmas.
Damn, that's even more brutal than the actual book of Job. At least Job got rewarded with a good life in the end 😅
That's sadly how they are. They shouldn't be allowed to have kids letting them suffer like that.
What?!?! Tell me that movie isn't real..... Aaaahhh!!!!!!
Idk, I kinda like that plot. Sounds like the one rare Christian movie that doesn't lie to you. "Have all the faith you want, but it absolutely will not help you, end your suffering, or change a damn thing in your life."
@@anthonyhorn5914 I half expected a final title card "That night, a carbon monoxide leak lead to the death of the whole family, save the father. He still maintains his faith."
The black FBDI guy / Howie sung a great song in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend called "Don't Be A Lawyer", highly recommend listening to it, it's such an ear worm. Looks like life got hard for Jim after he stopped being a lawyer 😫
"It's a guaran-teed soul des-troyer!"
OMG THANK YOU. I was wondering where I remember him from.
It’d be great to be on the Supreme Court, but you’ll never be on the Supreme Court, there’s just no chance of that happening!
The two FDBI guys are by far the best part of this movie (as far as I can tell from this video). They are 100% committed to their bizarre characters, and you can tell they're the only ones who actually know how to act.
Yes! I was so excited to see him! Love Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and that song is one of the best on the show.
yo show of hands, who wants to see Roses re-cut this movie as a horror trailer like she did with the weird christmas angel movie? like, all you'd have to do was imply the dog was actually demonic in nature, causing strife in the family by manipulating the one kid who can understand it and putting a riff between the mom and everyone else, and you've got the animal planet re-make of Amityville Horror right there.
She could do some color correction and turn that purple dessert into a blood red color.
I love how the dog pees on her shoes, yet she feels the need to shower. You could just wipe off the shoes and put the socks/pants in the washing machine.
They were knee-high waterproof boots too (not sure if leather or rubber).
Some high pressure 🗜 pee to cause the splash 🌊 back to get that high. 🤣🤣🤣
Takes a shower and yet, has full make up when she gets out.
Baptists have to take a shower if anyone even gives them a pissy look.
Depending on how fundamental she is, she could have been considered unclean and ostracized for it too.
Does anybody else get the impression that the dad in this movie is... you know...
He marries a woman who he seems to barely know, shows her very little affection, and then immediately leaves to spend a week in San Francisco. If you look up the actor, his most recent credit is a short film that seems to deal with gay themes, so maybe it's just the actor giving off those vibes, but I don't know.
Coincidentally, the actor voicing the dog has a bunch of horny gay comedies in his filmography, and he also co-wrote Sox.
The director, though, mostly seems to produce crazy conspiracy documentaries about aliens and cryptids and weed.
Why not just say gay? You literally said if in the 2nd paragraph?
@@1rockcrawford Classical reference.
Uh...were those end credits actually in Comic Sans?
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry I used to be a graphic designer in a book editing company focusing on children litterature and we were playing the game of "hide the comic sans ms" like a stupide graphic designer private joke (and when we could let a Lorem Ipsum left somewhere we did). So I always appreciate the use of this typography (I even hope to have this font used on my tombstone 😂)
Édit : I suspect I'm not the only one playing this game because there is a (french, I think) brand of japanese food called Tanoshi and the contents inside (that you're supposed to be mixed in hot water you know) of their miso soup it's all written in comic sans on the packets. So the outside packaging is all nice and minimalist in the kind of black Rick Owens-like and on the inside you have big green comic sans ms everywhere, I can't help but think this a packaging designer private joke !
@@dovelugosi Maybe it's the lateness of the hour, but something about the idea of a Comic Sans engraved tombstone is absolutely hysterical to me
Even though the only thing I think I'd be getting from the epitaph is "Here Lies a Clown"
@@BlackOrderAlchemist 🤣 you're so right !
Imagine this : a tombstone with the clown emoji (well it doesn't have the same meaning now but let's take take it litterally a clown) with the word "clown" in Comic Sans MS and an arrow pointing to the ground 👏
as a Ghost fan, hearing the sound bite at 5:52 nearly made me spit chicken tendies all over my monitor. i haven't even finished watching the video yet, i had to pause it to laugh and write this comment.
I heard it and went "PAPA IS THAT YOU" I love being a Ghost fan. 💕
Omg I also LOL'd at the unexpected musical sting from our dear Papa.
I immediately recognised Hooger, so I looked him up and realised it's because I used to watch Caroline in the City and I'm now regretting this public admittance.
Hey I liked that show. Even if just cos LEA THOMPSON! Also was strange that it connected Friends with the universe of Frasier/Cheers/Wings by having appearances from Chandler in one episode (Lea played Caroline in episode of Friends that aired the same night) and Niles and Daphne in another. :O
TY
That was driving me crazy. I thought maybe suddenly Susan or news radio. Now I remember him. He was useless in that show but from what I remember everyone else was too.
Hey, I recognized him from that JTT movie I'll Be Home for Christmas so don't feel too bad about it
So that's where i know his silly face from. As Charlie he was much nicer, and on skates, too.
I feel like Dale's thing would've worked better if instead of actually kidnapping Sox, he was about to (let's say the family is asleep or out so they don't notice him around) only for Sox to spot him and go "hey, let's talk this out." Then instead of the torture we get Dale spilling his guts, he doesn't get knocked out, and maybe he becomes a family friend/Sox' dogsitter.
I feel personally attacked having had 2 dogs named Sam and Max, a cat named Turtle and currently a dog named Rex.
I think they should have asked their quirky neighbour for a name. A nice name like Peter Pants, pious pupper and prime pee producer
I also have a cat named Turtle!

Pee, farts, and purple explosions. Huh, don't remember that in Veggie Tales. You did a great job highlighting the ridiculous dialogue.
Veggie Tales did have purple explosions in the "Jericho" episode -- I believe they were using slushies as siege weapons
MST3K put it best when they said, "Can we have a rule in future that FILMS have to be made by FILM MAKERS?"
What a dumb sentiment. If someone makes a film, does that not make them a film maker? Also, how would aspiring film makers get to make films? What happens when all the current "valid" film makers die? Do new films just not get made?
What that statement should be followed by is "and not by people who want to just make products, profits and propaganda".
Night at Terror Tower Goosebumps review with Dominic Noble!!!! It’s about princes, England and kids horror!!! When will we be getting this long awaited collab?!?!
The toilet humor honestly really shocked me. All the religious movies I grew up with were absolutely clean in that regard.
I am convinced Dale was secretly another dog that's been turned into a human. And more specifically, Dale had originally been *dun dun dun* Judas' dog!
Maybe Sox knew someone in the house was allergic to "purple" and was trying to save them from anaphylaxis? There ya go, movie. I gave Sox motivation for not lying low like he was supposed to.
Or Matthias, who's generally who I think of in the 13th disciple, albeit he's only mentioned in Acts and wasn't officially designated by Jesus, since he was already dead at the time
The overall plot wasn't a bad idea: talking dog teaches family the meaning of friendship and importance of listening/sharing. They just needed to invest in a decent script. But then we wouldn't have had this awesome review. Thank you for another great video!
I dunno what it is about your content, but something about it just bring me utmost joy and for that I must thank you. Oh and also the fact that I'm now binge watching Murder She Wrote, now that I'm old enough to not think it's only for grandparents
Ditto, 100%
"13th disciple? Jesus Christ indeed."
Willing to bet that one-liner of yours was funnier than anything in the movie.
David Deluise has made an entire career out of various dog movies…
wasn't he the dad on "Dog with a Blog"? dude just wants every single one of his films/shows to include dogs and I can get behind that 100%
His legendary father (Dom) would be shaking his head...
@@sandrafaith When I saw the name "David DeLuise" pop up in the credits, I wondered if he was related to Dom! Clearly the apple fell very far from the talent tree. Ironic that Dom starred in the best religious-themed movie about talking dogs of all time: All Dogs Go to Heaven.
He's fallen along way from the glory of "Stargate: SG-1".
@@Flutterbutt225 No. That was Regan Burns. Different guy. David DeLuise was in Wizards of Waverly Place though!
"Christina gets dumped on and I don't understand why"....it's a Christian movie, they don't like women. 🤷🏾♀️
I didn’t say I didn’t understand why. I absolutely know why.
This movie reads like a blatant case of "Tonight's Episode: The Writers' Barely Disguised Fetish"
I'm sitting here trying to figure out why David DeLuise is in this?? Just, how?! This man is a son of legendary actor Dom DeLuise. He's been on Stargate SG1, Wizards of Waverly Place, 3rd Rock from the Sun. He even had a bit part in Robin Hood: Men in Tights! I'm so confused.
My thoughts exactly!
It's killing me that the P lady just said "puppy" twice in a row when she could have said POOCH. POOCH!
I can't help but think about how Sesame Street eventually had the adults learn Mr Snuffleuphagus was real because there had been a bunch of high profile cases of CSA in the news and the decided it was important to teach kids that they could go to adults and be believed whenever I see these "kid has to keep a secret from their parents" stories now
I perceive that I am practically pleased to be converted per the plot of this movie. I praise the peaceful and pee jokes from the performing Sox.
My praise for this practicaly performative paragraph. Pip pip!
I'm DAVID HOOOOOGER
Please pause this preposterous pursuit.
This movie teaches important lessons! Like women need to have higher standards
Red flags in relationships
The people who made this movie have messed up ideas about women
If you want to watch something involving a talking dog that helps out two brothers, involves actual religious undertones, and involves a grown man behaving like a dog -- may I recommend the Supernatural episode "Dog Dean Afternoon"? It's hilarious, it's campy, it's fun, and it is frequently still horrifying. Plus, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki 😍😍😍
That bit about Dale getting attacked by a dog (3:45) sounds like they were spoofing an Always Sunny scene. The one with Dennis and Charlie making a false police report with a detective.
These sorts of movies are the kind I love to partake in vicariously through TH-camrs like you 😂
I'm so glad you're reviewing family-friendly dog films, PushingUpRoses. Fantastic job!
In the movie “Dogma”, Chris Rock plays the 13th apostle - back from the dead. Had he voiced the dog instead of discount M J Fox, this would have been a very different movie…. rated “R”. Or “Arrr”. 🐶
This is utter insanity, just everything, and that voice? So bonkers! Love your videos, even though this was a little brain breaking, still totally cheered up my day seeing a roses video pop up on the feed!
Almost spat out my food when i realized the dogcatcher is Burl Moseley, the guy who sings "Don't Be A Lawyer" from Crazy-Ex Girlfriend. Glad he's gone from this to winning an actual Emmy lol
Dale being an evil counter part would’ve made so much more sense in this senseless movie 😂 still hilarious video tho👍🏾🫡
Yeah I thought it was going to be like The Shaggy Dog. Dale switched himself with Sox, so Sox in Dale's body was trying to find and get back in his dog body. Definitely would've been better then how bad this review makes the movie sound.
@@GrimmShadowsII I absolutely thought this was the direction they were heading too. That would at least have... well, made sense would be going too far, but at least would have been understandable
Named after Dale Cooper but sounds like Gordon Cole. Truly one of the parodies of all time.
I think Sox did them a favour in making that dish of purple spill onto the lady. Because... what was it supposed to be?
Given the lady's obsession with P words, I'm guessing it was pudding.

Yes, I recognized that "LUCIFER" chant from Year Zero.
This movie actually reminds me of another Religious Based movie with a Talking dog in it. It's called Quiggly. Something about a guy leading a horrible sinful life, so as punishment he gets turned into a dog and has to learn how to love or something. And while that sounds like a good premise on paper, I remember the movie being so boring it gave me migraines. Compared to Quiggly, this movie is actually the king of Dog-based Religious Movies.... which is a whole genre apparently.
I originally read “Burl Mosely” as “Bill Mosely” and I was VERY confused for a second at the casting of this film
same. it made me expect a very different ending
I think Paula's favourite song is Sheb Wooley's Purple People Eater
I feel like this is another movie that could be recut as a horror film.
I thought I recognized the uncle, he played the father in Wizards of Waverly Place!
"Sometimes when I smell other dogs..."
My brain: oh, he's a shapeshifter. Cool. Moving on.
Sox sounds like Breckin Meyer outtakes from Robot Chicken.
2:22 I thought I recognized that guy.
He played one of the college students in 3rd rock from the sun.
I never forget a smile.😂
Yes David Deluise, Dom Deluise's son. He plated "Bug" in Third Rock from the Sun.
@@calessel3139 no way! I had no idea he was Dom's son.
Now that you say it I can definitely see the resemblance.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage There's even an episode on 3rd Rock (I think it's in the last season) where Dom Deluise actually plays Bug's father in the show.
@@calessel3139 I don't remember that episode, but it has been years since I last watched that show. I have been wanting to revisit it. It was a damn good show.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Definitely!
You know what would have been a good plot twist. Dale and Sox use to be a dog and a human respectively, and then something happened to make them switch bodies. Dale finds out that he doesn't like being a human while Sox is perfectly fine living as a dog since it means no work and no clothes.
Wait... Is this dog Judas?? Wasn't Judas the thirteenth disciple???
Oh when you mentioned you thought Dale was a dog in a human's body, I thought there was gonna be a twist where Sox and Dale had swapped bodies, and the reason Dale was so hellbent on catching him was to get his body back.
Judas was one of the twelve. Fun fact: two disciples were named Judas!
Judas was the disciple that betrayed Jesus. After he died, the disciples picked a new 12th disciple named Matthias.
The Gospel of John mentions an "Other Disciple whom Jesus Loved" several times in addition to the core 12 whose identity has been the subject of much debate.
Apparently according to this movie... Jesus had a dog. And the dog is immortal. And the dog has been to Mars.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I don't know what this "debate" is you're talking about .. bible scholars generally all agree John is talking about himself.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I mean...Christians generally aren't against dogs, Muslims are much more particular and, interestingly seem to have no issue with cats, but dogs, barring certain uses, are seen as dirty and unclean, or at least stuff they lick.
Companionship is oddly seen as secondary for dogs (versus hunting, protection, etc), while Muhammed himself had a beloved pet cat he freaking cut off the sleeve of his robe to go pray because Muezza was sleeping on it

I think this is what happens when Canada pays people to make MEDIA product to keep them employed, Canada make-work production is my guess. The same cast probably has reassembled and made 20 other MEDIA product. Based on scripts from writers who are also in Canada.
I remember Canadian radio stations used to have to play about 80% Canadian artists. So you heard the same songs over and over. I would have preferred to hear new, bad songs!
@@lazyhomebody1356 CanCon rules started in 1971 but were at 25% they were raised over the years and are now about 40% for music radio stations. It was never repealed it just stopped being repetitive.
The reason you probably think it was like 80% is you were listening to a station at a non-peak time and they were filling their quota by playing all their Canadian music then so they could play other stuff at peak times. Also in the early 70s there was not that much Canadian music but at some point there were enough Canadian recordings to fill things out without being repetitive as the music industry grew substantially.
@@allanolley4874 Okay, interesting. Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot on repeat!
I once saw David DeLuise in a Budweiser commercial back around early-mid 2003. He played an unnamed news anchor walking up to the house of Dale Earnhardt Jr. (the NASCAR driver Bud sponsored at the time) with a cameraman in toe, to ask Dale Jr. for an interview. Search for it on here to see it for yourselves.
god i love weird religious movies; i went to a catholic high school where i was forced to watch christian movies and a fascination with how bad and backwards they were has followed me around since. i'd love if you covered more of them.
You must love Godawful Movies.
Yet another perfectly presented production from PushingupRoses. I'd love to see you delve more into this really odd faith-based movie hole, if you are so willing. I've run into reviews of other movies that're just as weird as this one that I'd love to hear your take on.
I'm 2 minutes into this video and I already have so many questions, thanks Roses!
5:51 thrilled to hear a half-second reference to GHOST in one of your vids, I love them so much!
Also David DeLuise (who played Thomas, I think?) is the son of Dom DeLuise. I was just watching Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" last night and caught his name among the cast and crew. He's worked in film, but a lot of his credits are films like these and TV shows where he was in a few episodes. He's a decent actor, and that's about it, lol.
Hi, PushingUp, I love your content. Every upload brings me great joy. I love your sense of humor and your voice. You are like the best friend I never had, and I would be honored to support your coffee habit.

Prince of Egypt is literally the only good faith based movie I can think of.
Same for Joseph king of dreams
It’s like that trope where the wife/mom is gaslighted being told they’re the problem like they’re uptight and shit while everyone including her kids and husband give her a hard time stress her out and dgaf about her and downplay her feelings don’t listen to her etc but especially the husband because he’s a grown ass man so it’s even worse than the kids

I just missed Wizards of Waverly Place age-wise, so I know David Deluise as Pete Shanahan from Stargate SG-1, but I had the same reaction to seeing him in this of just...why? Poor guy.
Another Perfect Presentation from our PushingUpRoses!
If you like family friendly dog movies, you should do a brief history of the buddy movies. How they are talking puppies now with their own dedicated studio. The super pups TV series is hilarious.
I remember when my church showed The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. I was so indoctrinated I learned to code. 😅
This so called movie makes A Talking Cat!?! look like Citizen Kane.

I love it that you are using the Laura Bow and the Dagger of Amon Ra soundtrack
Thank you for echoing what I've been saying forEVER. Children deserve high quality entertainment!
Fun story when my family and I adopted my dog my mom did say his legs look funny. He has leg deformities in his front legs and she was the first to notice. We love him regardless and make sure he’s doing the best he can. He’s the best dog.
When Dale said "Sometimes when I smell other dogs I can smell..." I legitimately thought it was an implied hint that he was a dog.
The boom mic reflection in the van window. Love it. Great attention to details guys.
Hey Roses
Love your videos, especially since I share your love for adventure games and murder mysteries. And that brings me to my actual point. My fave murder mystery show is an anime called detective Conan (or case closed, as it was called in the anglosphere). It was pretty big in my country when I was a kid. Like most early animes it sadly got a bit destroyed in the us cause of bad dubbing and marketing choices, so it got canceled pretty quickly there. But because of that I’m pretty interested in if u know it and if so, what ur thoughts on it are. Would love seeing a video abt that someday. But even if not, keep up the good work and greetings from Germany
I literally cried in Chapter 1004 when Ran and Shinichi kissed and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Finally. After half my lifetime spent reading the manga, they got together.
Hey! Props for the mention of Spaceman Spiff!
They had a cute puppy ... and the puppy is cute. That's all I got. Also, Comic Sans on the end credits is somehow not the worst decision.
Ironically biblically speaking that dog was more demonic coded than angelic
Possessed animals? Check
Encouraged sins? Lying, not respecting mother and father check
Caused chaos just because? Check
Mental manipulation? Check (although that one is an attribute of both sides)
I have to imagine Dom DeLuise is rolling in his grave seeing what his son's acting career has come to.
A dog named "Turtle"? I feel like that's a Fudge-a-mania reference. Because Judy Bloom was probably super popular when this came out...
Socrates predates Jesus by about 400 years. Was he already a dog as a disciple? Is he immortal or does he reincarnate? I have so many questions
I mean,...I'd sooner buy the idea that he's reincarnated or even trying to put a twist somewhere on the Wandering Jew, even though that tends to be either a Roman soldier (Which is weird that he's called a Wandering Jew) or a rabbi that mocked Jesus on the cross, that situation generally where the folklore comes from: Jesus saying that they won't die until he returns
I KNEW I recognized the actor playing Dale from somewhere… he played Ernie Fishman in a Murder She Wrote episode! (Season 10, Ep. 17, The Dying Game.)
Talking about that tendency in kid's movies to have the supernatural element tell kids not to trust their parents reminds me of how the Learning Company decided to have Snuffleupagus reveal himself to the humans on Sesame Street. When he was first introduced, only Big Bird would see him, he'd mess stuff up, and when the adults came in later, no one would believe Big Bird that Mr. Snuffleupagus was the one really doing stuff and would blame him. They quickly came to realize this was teaching kids the wrong lesson that you can't go to trusted adults with things because they won't believe you, and particularly in response to the scandal around priests and alter-boys, they didn't want that to be the message they were putting out. So, he showed up in front of everyone and the adults apologized to Big Bird for not believing him and promise to do better in the future.
Absolutely insane that they realized this in the 90's but people still make children's entertainment revolving around doing the opposite.
I grew up watching Sesame Street and used to get a stomach ache everytime the adults missed seeing Snuffy. Can't believe it was the 90s before the writers got a clue.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I should have looked it up, for some reason I was remembering it being later than it was. It was back in the '85.
That makes it all the more confusing about people later making parodies of Sesame
Street not knowing he was real, like they should have grown up with that being the fact. Anyway, besides the point.
As a fellow childhood fan, I would love to see you cover the We Sing series. I feel like the wholesome cheesiness combined with your sense of humor would be spectacular.
