Tu mejor amigo: Un nuevo viaje

My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. The picture and sound are first rate and the disc also has several interesting extras regarding making the movie.

This is a direct sequel to the 2017 movie "A Dog's Purpose." That movie relied on the theme of animal reincarnation, each time the pet died he/she was eventually reborn as a different type of dog but with memories of his former life. And a mission to find and help his owner.

In this one Ethan and Hannah have a very young granddaughter, but her father, their son, died tragically. The mother has issues, takes young "CJ" away, and she is separated from her grandparents for many years. Eventually the dog(s) play continuing roles in protecting CJ and enriching her life which includes reuniting her with her family.

The movie spans about 25 or so years in CJ's life, it is well told and has a really good and rewarding conclusion.

In the extras Quaid comments that maybe this dog's mission isn't complete yet, maybe there will be an additional sequel.

As an interesting point to me, the actress who plays CJ as a young adult, Kathryn Prescott, was born and raised in London but you'd never guess it, her American accent is so authentic.

Continuation of first part, 'A DOG's PURPOSE'. It will definitely make you cry, and that too several times. A really great movie filled with love, positivism and cuteness. Great cast, awesome dogs, fantastic story. A must watch, not just for dog lovers, but for everyone!

Audiences need more movies like this one!

My husband and I went to a 4 PM weekday show as we needed to "kill" a few hours before meeting our daughter. We knew it was the same writer (W. Bruce Cameron) as two other movies we loved ("A Dog's Purpose" and "A Dog's Way Home") but we didn't know it was a sequel to "A Dog's Purpose." If you haven't seen "A Dog's Purpose" I'd strongly suggest you do so before seeing "A Dog's Journey." You'll enjoy the continuing saga of Bailey and his people much more if you do.

Prepare to cry.

13 May 2019 First Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - A Dog's Journey. So this is a sequel to A dog's Purpose and if you taken one thing to the cinema with you, make it a box of tissues because unless you have a heart of stone you're jolly well going to need to crack them open. If you don't like showing emotion in public wait for the DVD because I cried like a baby (a very quiet baby). It is the continuing story of Bailey/Molly/Big Dog/Max who remains committed to finding his special human through all his/her reincarnations. Although he had different bodies, different names and even a different gender his memories and his heart remained that of Bailey and this was a touching tale of him keeping his promise to his best friend all those years ago. Some great camera work showing close ups of the amazing language a dog projects with his eyebrows. Lovely film.

The first film, "A Dog's Purpose," was so emotionally draining for dog lovers like me (but ultimately worth the rollercoaster ride) that I admit hesitating to see this sequel. My best friend leaned toward seeing it when we were looking for a movie to see this weekend, though, so I agreed. Now I'm so glad I did. While "Journey" is also a rollercoaster ride of life's ups and downs, the overall effect by film's end is exhilaration and joy--and hope. I highly recommend throwing yourself into this particular journey. Strong performances from all of the cast, both canine and human, careful and thoughtful direction, beautiful cinematography, and the story a very compelling view of the human-canine connection in this life.
