This doesn't live up to the potential of its premise or its cast, but it's worth a look.  George Zaloom directed and co-wrote.

*Despite the tagline and that picture, the romance is less important here than the dynamics between and within families.

Combining as this does dogs and sports, I already wasn't interested, but the slapstick humor and cliched characters sank the movie further with me.  Still, the look of the animation is nice.  Simon Wells directed.  This is an American-British production, but Margolyes is doing an American accent.
