Audience Reviews for The Retrievers

Feb 13, 2011

Ridiculous. Not only is the acting terrible, it was the worst plot I've ever heard of. This family hastily gives away all of their dog's puppies, realizes it was dumb and goes to get them back, going so far as breaking into someone's house and sleeping in their driveway to await their return. It annoyed me!!
