It's not overly woke despite the mixed race couple. The lead actor is a trans male pretending to be female. It's pretty obvious right from the start. There is an out of nowhere make out scene with trans and a woman. It is completely pointless to the story and feels so forced in just for the agenda. The acting is not great. The pace is very slow choosing to spend a lot of time on the family drama. The story makes no sense with holes everywhere in the writing. While I did finish it I wasn't paying a lot of attention for the last half hour so I may have missed some things. These 'creatures' let's call them, that are chasing her don't ever actually do anything. They just chase her them stop scream and reach towards her. Yes it's creepy but after the first couple time you realize nothing is going to happen, and it's no longer effective. Then there is the weird groundhog day affect when they scream. It just is it's never explained. The creatures seem to want to reproduce by catching you sleeping and spitting eggs in you mouth that then travel to the ovaries. Last I checked that's not how that works, I mean they would end up in the stomach. The 2 guys in the hallway shooting at each other was stormtrooper levels of aiming. There's small things like the family showing up at the resort with a dog who just vanished never to be seen again. Lazy writing again. There's not any blood or gore to speak of save one scene so if that's your thing don't bother.
Feminism Ruins Another Good Show!
Season 1 was good, but season 2 has elevated the feminist empowerment of all main female characters even killing off Monty Miller the oil tycoon so he could be replaced by GI Jane who wears the permanent Halloween mask of cosmetic surgery gone wrong. But as long as the feminist narrative is forced on viewers to the detriment of season one's credibility nothing else matters, right? I guess I should be glad it isn't transgenderism.
Visually Beautiful, Flat Story
Not much woke here at least in the form of a heavy handed agenda. The film does a hard stop in the movie so the male Sasquatch can choose his own name… “Susan.” It’s meant to be comedy, but it’s meh and there’s some they/them pronouns thrown around for good measure to set up the joke. It just falls flat. There’s a great bit of chatter about evolution more as an evolved way of thinking rather than in a missing link sort of way. Look beneath the surface, you’ll see the preachy woke plainly. But if you watch this superficially, you can be entertained. Like I said, it is visually stunning. Not heavy handed. Just dull in my opinion. Your results may vary.
Not a cell phone made movie
With so many absolutely terrible movies made by anyone with a cell phone and a few spare cardboard boxes these days, I had few expectations for Dog Fugitive. But, I really like dogs and Dr. Fluffy is a cute little pup. First on the list: Dr. Fluffy's voice is grating just like Stuart Little and my wife hates that mouse, so our pup didn't win any popularity points with her. The story is kind of silly. Like, everyone talks to Dr. Fluffy like she's human and completely ignores the fact that she's a talking dog. And she wears disguises and sunglasses and even robs a convenance store for a little while. Some of the scenes really had me laughing for no reason. Dr. Fluffy sitting at the dinner table or in a lawn chair. She's actually quite talented. I want to know how they got her to stay still in some of these scenes. Anyhow, this is absolutely not a homemade movie with high school drama club kids acting. It ain't good either, but done well enough that I'd recommend it for anyone just chilling out looking for a stupid laugh. Unless you don't like Stuart Little.
