At first, Sarah is unable to cope with the existence of a dog in her flat, but soon finds that the little dog is beginning to change her life for the better…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Pug-lovers are bound to be entranced by the feel-good and family-friendly hijinks that the one in this movie gets up to, which should make this a nice little surprise for most people going to see it.
