I thought Baxter was a decent movie. It seems this is one that people are divided on, some love it, some hate it. I thought it was good, thoughtful and sometimes disturbing. The movie is told from the dog's point of view and the insight is really good. Baxter is the story of a bull terrier on the hunt for the perfect master. He goes through a succession of families till he finds a demented boy that has issues of his own. It starts off rather slow, but quickly picks up pace towards the end of the middle.The ending was disappointing however; and greatly p**sed me off. I won't say much more because I don't want to spoil this film for those who haven't seen it.
