I purchased this DVD for my 2 and 1/2 yr old grandson, my 7 year old golden retriever and myself, as we all enjoy watching movies in which golden retrievers are the main characters. I obviously misinterpreted the title as this movie is not about a golden retriever, but a Labrador retriever! My viewing partners were not disappointed with the dog "switch," but I was. They were, however, quite disappointed that the dog was not the featured character in this movie. There were lots of people and a lot of dialogue, so I have to admit that we never watched the entire DVD. If you like movies that are about animals and have dogs in them, this could be the movie for you. My film friends and I were a bit disappointed as we like to watch golden retrievers and like to see them in almost every scene. I don't think "Gold Retrievers" was on par with the golden "buddy" movies, so if that's what you're looking for (cute and cuddly in the entire movie) you might want to pass this DVD by.
