Life is Ruff is my second favorite Disney Channel movie and one of the standout movies from my childhood. I rate the movie 10/10. The movie follows a boy (Calvin) who from the beginning of the movie is portrayed as quite arrogant and selfish. Calvin's best friend (Raymond) is a quiet kid who basically follows him around. Calvin is used to always getting his way and being irresponsible but all that changes when he adopts a dog at the local dog shelter. Why does he adopt a dog? You'll have to watch the movie to find out! (Hint: it's for an ulterior motive.)
The movie is funny and heartwarming, with lots of beautiful moments as Calvin's bond develops with his new untrained dog. Also, there are a lot of quite comical scenes with Calvin and his parents (who have no idea that there is a dog in their house). In the movie, a beautiful bond also develops between Kyle and Emily (a girl at Kyle's school who works at the local dog shelter), although they did not initially get off on the right foot due to Kyle's selfish behaviour.
I loved the movie as a kid and still love it as an adult because it has several twists and turns as well as some comedy and heartwarming moments. The movie focusses on relationships between different characters and shows how Kyle's attitude toward life and the people around him fundamentally change with the responsibility of having a dog. I think it is a wonderful family movie and a great movie for kids. Life is Ruff is the best movie I have ever seen about a kid and his pet. I highly highly recommend this sweet movie to anyone who loves children's movies (you don't have to be an animal lover because most of the movie centres around the human characters and the relationships between them, although Kyle's dog does play a continuous role).
