Life with Dog

Maybe 'cause I live w "death out of proper time", I felt this movie dealt w grief & anger quite well. It was real, the plot was Not predictable, and it was well acted. I would have liked to have seen or heard more of a "peace through the storm through faith" message from Alice, as there is a profound difference in grieving w/o faith in God versus trusting God through it. I've done it both ways, thankfully I live through it w God now. Well done on the writing Mr. Bernsen.

This movie had no plot line, no realism, and certainly no acting. To the people who read this, I beg you not to waste your time watching this. The entire movie was a joke, and I'll have to complain to IMDb for not having an option to choose a negative score out of ten! Even 1/10 is a stretch. I can think of nothing good about his movie, so if you want a top choice of a worst movie, this is it! I can usually point out something good in the movie, like good camera shots and movie directing, but this just ain't the case with "Life With Dog." I mean, even the title suggests a low-budget film with no plot line. To think that people put effort into making this bad of a film makes me wonder how they even published it!

The comments that give it 3/10 or more are complete liars, trying to reel you in to watch their own movie. Yes, that right! The film's own producers have to bring it upon themselves to to try get a high movie rating. This movie is going down on my list as a -1/10, something I didn't think I'd ever have to do.

I liked this movie. Before I watch a movie, I'll check out the ratings to see if it's worth my time and I saw there were some good ratings and some scathing ratings which honestly made me want to watch it just to see for myself. I don't like other people telling me what I should and shouldn't watch.

I didn't find it depressing at all. I found it raw and honest, the feelings of a man who lost his beloved wife and was enraged with God and lashing out because he didn't know what to do with all the pain.

And I didn't see any ghosts in the movie. A couple of guardian angels for sure. Someone else said this movie had parts that weren't biblical. I disagree. I think we're here to love and to learn and I think that's what this movie was about.

I like movies that are a little different too. Like this one. I like the story and the acting, I would recommend it, but that's just me. You be the judge.

Yes, the character of Joe (Corbin Bernson) is cynical beyond belief. Safe to say, many of us have encountered someone like Joe. They were negative about everything and so draining to be around. It seemed impossible to bring a smile to their face. He's definitely off putting, but this movie has a powerful message and it's worth sticking with to the end. After losing his wife, Alice (Marilu Henner), in a bicycle accident, his mental health starts declining. He spends his days sitting in the living room with the blinds closed, even when it's sunny outside, and he's stopped shaving. When his daughter comes to his house she expresses her immense concern for his psychological well-being, but he doesn't see anything wrong with how he's living. It also doesn't help that he's short-tempered just by nature. He's going down a path of despair, until he encounters a stray dog who won't leave him alone. Over time, the dog becomes part of his life. Throughout the movie, the audience is able to see the dog change Joe's pessimistic outlook. The actors and actresses gave such compelling performances. It's a brilliant movie about forgiveness. Awesome choice for a family movie night.

DO NOT WASTE time watching this dark movie. It will leave you feeling depressed....is the worst movie ever made!
