Dog

So dull and predictable. This movie relies heavily on Channing Tatum's comedic chops, which are about as funny as a broken toe. As for his dramatic skills, we all know his range is limited. This movie has no storyline and no emotional depth, no matter how much it drags itself out trying to fool you into thinking it has one. The dog and Channing had absolutely no connection whatsoever. I felt nothing. It was just basically a dog lover's wet dream. Skip!

Been looking forward to this movie since I saw the trailer, just finished my experience at the cinema and I am impressed. All I can say is it should of been marketed as more of a drama as well as a comedy, still definitely worth a watch and very good acting by changing Tatum.

Positives: As a 'road movie' featuring a man and a dog, this one has genuine heart. It's not gooey and gelatinous like a "Marley and Me" dog story: it actually has a moderately hard edge to it. This is helped along by Channing Tatum who delivers a really nice and believable performance as the injured vet. Given this is the directorial debut of writer Reid Carolin and Channing Tatum (sharing the seat), it has a really nice pace to it. At 100 minutes long it doesn't outstay its welcome. And any time that the pace does slacken off, it's for meaningful relationship-building between Briggs and Lulu. (A stormy interlude in a barn is particularly engaging). The cinematography by Newton Thomas Sigel is gorgeous, making full use of California's wonderful golden light and with some impressive drone footage along Highway 1. Given the low-budget cast (Tatum is the only big name), they've wisely invested in a scoring master (Thomas Newman) to write the music. And its lovely: understated, but when it does come through it adds considerably to the pictures. Negatives: There's a lot of "thank you for your service" type messaging in here, which might cloy a bit with non-American audiences. It's also worth saying that this is a 12A for a reason, and parents thinking to take little ones along to see this in half term as a 'happy clappy dog movie' might want to check the BBFC comments on their web site. I attended an afternoon showing, with a number of parents and kids in the 8 to 10 sort of age-range. The parental squirming evident during the "threesome scene" (nothing actually proceeds) was self-evident, as a portent for those questions in the car home! Summary Thoughts on "Dog": A solid and enjoyable tale that - and there is no one more surprised at this than me - I would recommend.
