The video discusses the movie "Show Dogs" (2018) and its numerous flaws. The reviewer calls the film "dog shit" and states that it somehow manages to be both embarrassing and out-of-touch, despite being a typical "talking dogs" movie for children. The plot revolves around a talking dog named Max, voiced by Ludacris, who goes undercover with his trainer to stop animal smuggling. However, the reviewer criticizes the film's poor voice acting, incoherent plot, and disturbing scenes that imply child grooming.
The reviewer also criticizes the film's tone, which they claim is all over the place, veering between cute and kiddie to slightly more adult and edgy. They also point out the film's poor production values, including cheap-looking sets and bad camera work.
Furthermore, the reviewer discusses the concept of "Dibbies," which they define as characters or creatures used for their cuteness or comedic value to manipulate audiences. They argue that "Show Dogs" relies too heavily on Dibbies, including cute dogs, a pug, a panda, and even pigeons.
Overall, the reviewer concludes that "Show Dogs" is a lazy and cynical movie that doesn't deserve attention, especially given its out-of-touch and inappropriate subject matter. They recommend better movies about dogs, such as "Isle of Dogs" (2018) and "Amores Perros" (2000).
