BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Meaghan Edwards While "I Want a Dog for Christmas" has it's flaws and may not totally live up to the old "A Charlie Brown Christmas", it nonetheless manages to hold a special place in my heart and has remained a staple for my family's Christmas viewing for three years running. I can remember being in the philosophical Rerun's position, both for wanting a dog -- for years and years until I was able to get one when I was in my teens, and also for and also for being treated as the "baby" in the family. Seeing other members of Snoopy's family was a treat.I felt the script could have been a little tighter, but I think it is far from being dreadful.

ScaryMann I've been a fan of Peanuts for as long as I can remember. Every year our family has a tradition of watching the holiday specials together. Sure, we all know what happens, but Peanuts still has the ability to get you in the mood for the season.At least until this special came along.Rerun always had a segment on the TV show, riding on his mom's bicycle and giving his philosphies on things. For a two minute segment, it was cute. But this new special is all Rerun, all the time. There was a reason Rerun was confined to a two minute space. Any longer and he's grating.The special (or at least the first half hour) consists of Rerun basically complaining about being the baby of the family. Nobody includes him in anything. Mom won't let him have a dog. He's not big enough to do what he wants to do, etc.And then he gets suspended for sexual harassment! I kid you not. He tells some girl he wants to take her to Paris and he gets suspended for sexual harassment! At that point, I switched the channel. This isn't Peanuts. It's a cheap piece of trash trying to cash in on the Peanuts empire. Charles Schulz would be spinning in his grave.This gets zero stars from me.

DarkLordHenderson Peanuts still makes me smile after all these years. This new animated feature was very good. For the big Peanuts aficianados, you'll recognize a lot of the gags are from the weekly strips themselves, some dating back to the 1960s. It was done very well and I very much enjoyed it.

RNMorton Charles Schulz is terribly missed by all of us Peanuts fans. This is an excellent posthumous work. Main theme is Rerun's search for a dog for Christmas, but we get to see each of the main Peanuts characters doing their thing in a Christmas setting. Not all the Charlie Brown specials have been outstanding through the years, but this one can be put right up there with the best. Kudos. 9/10
