Chestnut: Hero of Central Park: 4 out of 10.
How many movies made for kids feature dogs? There's the "Air Bud" series, "Karate Dog", "Under Dog" and this one, "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park".
As you might have guessed, I watched this with the kids. I know he hasn't discovered this blog yet, and even if he does he'll have trouble with the big words, so let me tell you about the effect this movie had on my six year old. He was balling, sobbing a bucket of tears when Chestnut, the lovable Great Dane, was lost in Central Park. When Chestnut got stabbed trying to be a hero, James lost it. I held his hand and watched him perk up when Chestnut came through.
I don't blame James for crying. I did the same thing after "Titanic", but that's a story for another day.
