Ally & Obie

About This Movie

So, 'Ally & Obie' is this family film that dives into the trials of fitting in at a new school. It's got a light-hearted tone with a sprinkle of whimsy, thanks to Obie, the talking dog. The performances, particularly from the young actress playing Ally, really bring that awkwardness of adolescence to life. And the pacing is pretty charming, keeping it engaging without dragging. The film's themes of friendship and the pressure of academic success are relatable, even if the story feels a bit familiar. There's something about the practical effects that give Obie a unique presence, which adds to that nostalgic feel. Not groundbreaking, but definitely has its own warmth and charm.
