Dog Gone

Decent movie, I mean I cried so of course it's one of those movies that def hit at your heartstrings. If you're up for a cheesy tear jerker and you need a therapeutic cry then watch it. If not then don't. It won't win any Oscar's nor will it awe you with amazing acting. If you've seen enough dog movies you know what you're in for. Also, it's your doggie you can train it and raise it however you want. As long as they're loved and cared for everything else falls into place. My dogs (2 very healthy happy dogs) were never properly trained and they're the happiest dogs. So do and raise your dogs as you wish and give them all the love:)

I first thought that this was gonna be real silly with campy like acting, the trailer on Netflix made it seem like it was gonna seem that way, but has I watched the film, it started to grow on me, for anybody who every has loved a dog, I believe will find this movie enjoyable.

The dog scenes are quite effective, showing a great bond between an owner and his pet. Actors Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams Paisley are good, has the parents, in which they don't like the dog at first, but quickly grows on them. Also search scenes are also good, showing detemination that shows the greatness of the human spirit.

I really do not understand some bad reviews here. I mean Ok, you can talk about irresponsability and the son is maybe a little bit annoying, but everyone can happen this anytime. You can find yourself in a miserable situation to lose your dog and ofcourse there is no one to blame but yourself.

Maybe there were boring moments or some bad actings in the movie but if you think deeper it is not about how he lost his dog it is about dedication, love and strentgh to not give up on finding your pet who became a part of your family!

If you don't understand the meaning of the movie than do not write bad comments!

Only really a movie for people who own and love dogs but definitely will make you smile. I didn't think I was particularly invested until the ending when I was suddenly crying so they definitely pull at the heart strings. The acting from the main boy was really good, shame some of the material he had to work with wasn't always great. There was a side story about the son which did seem a bit unnecessary and probably that time could have been put toward some more content of the missing dog on his little adventures which I did think there needed to be more of. Also very distracting that the dog had a weird goofy name but then again it's a true story so they have to honour the original doggo. Enjoyed overall!

An emotionally lost young man adopts a puppy while attending college. When he graduates, with no job prospects on the horizon, he returns to his parent's home, dog in tow. His parents bond with this special animal as well, all while frustrated with their son's lack of drive.

But when Gronk disappears on the Appalachian trail, everything changes.

First let me say our society has changed. And not in a good way. I read reviews on this movie while i was also watching it. Words like "saccharine sweet" and "waste of time". "Pathetic" "its a dog movie". Comments like "there are no curse words even with the biker gang".

I guess these people didn't grow up on Lassie, or Homeward bound or others.

Dog Gone is an excellent movie about selflessness, and a coming of age with a relationship between a father and son, all while searching for their beloved family pet. It is also based on a true story, though we don't know how much is true and how much was "poetic license".

First, since when do movies require curse words to be good? I like adult movies as well but we don't have to ONLY use curse words to show emotion. That is a very limited opinion. And one that worries me. Curse words are used when we are unable to express ourselves properly. It is sad people think we should all curse in order to express ourselves. I also find it telling that several reviewers were wanting to stress the negative rather than the positive. Especially for a movie who's target audience are young disney type viewers. And i mean traditional disney, not MCU (which I love just as well.

And since when are movies about the human condition in today's world (not some fictional world) considered saccharine or pathetic?

And about the "biker gang", a group of bikers in a club does not a gang make. If that is the case, I guess that means i have belonged to biker gangs without cursing.

So if you want a movie set in reality, where the human condition is explored while being interesting an emotional, please watch Dog Gone. Yes, I'm a dog lover, but so are billions of others around the globe.
