First off, looks like the FF intro is scaled properly, but your full screen DV footage it squished out to widescreen. Should either zoom in and crop it, or just leave space on the sides so at least things don't look stretched wide.

Weird that the mom repeats that line twice, could have probably only said it once. "Of course she's gonna have a good Christmas!"

This dog in the door way shot is a bit too long.

Haha, I like the little 'time wipe' - a little cheesy, maybe a shot of the clock instead?

Haha, 1:57! Why is she totally wearing something different?!?

Omg, the dog is dead at the end ?? Holy cow that's like, haha, that's like epic!!!!

Feel this one is a LW, don't want to fault you for the acting or anything like that, it's just not quite there. I guess the 'lonely' aspect is that her dog is dead? Doesn't totally fit that criteria either. Thought the dialogue was a bit wordy. A VERY VERY solid LW entry though that I'm sure will have a lot of fans!

I give this film a C+

I would have opted for a better screen shot, than the B&W grainy dog picture. Yea for little kid and adult actors! That was a long shot of the dog in the door. Ewe, Clock swipe. I love this little girl's excitement! She gets cut off mid "chocolate". Oh NOEZ...even though we all seen that coming. I think getting a bunch of chocolate for Christmas would be a shitty gift, btw, even if the dog didn't eat it. Sooo, needed a lot of cleaning up technically speaking, and a pretty weak plot, but very fun acting and actors. A very young girl, a dog, and an adult lady. I enjoyed it.

She changes clothes 2:00. the in the box shot is nice, where would the dog have gone if not on the bed? and it seems like this girl was going to get diabeties for christmas anyways, so the dog did her a favor. lol, overall this was decent, well thought out, proper ending, decent dialogue, it was good.

So coming into this I liked the panning shot of the tree, I kinda wish you had the girl yelling through the whole time, then maybe even when the mom was on the phone too, I mean she was kinda loud she should be able to be heard from all through the house. get it? Aww the lighting was in the shot. *Sad panda* LOL who wakes up and is like "Hey, Its christmas" LOL only one present. Bad audio cut :/. Did rudy eat all the chocolate, and die?
