Max Review: Dog Film Both Sappy and Entertaining

Movie about dogs are nothing new, especially when it comes to family films. There have been plenty of movies out there about boy (or someone) befriending a K-9 companion; who then go on merry adventures together. Yet how many movies have been about a boy and a military trained dog? I can say not much but now changes with the new adventure film: Max. Directed by the man behind Remember the Titans, Max tells the story of a dog named Max and how befriends a boy after returning from service. The trailer seemed rather straightforward with the movie's premise as it look to be a general family adventure. Yet perhaps Max would be full of surprises; then again maybe it was just another dog movie.

The plot deals with a marine dog named Max. When his handler Kyle (Robbie Amell) is killed in action, Max returns to the states where Kyle's family figure out what to the with the K-9. Max becomes the responsibility of Kyle's younger brother Justin (Josh Higgins). After a rocky start, Justin begins to care for Max and the two become friends. However the two find themselves in the thick of danger when former marine Tyler (Luke Kleintank) returns home and starts trouble for Justin and his family.
