La razón de estar contigo: un nuevo viaje

I'm so glad I watched this! I'm also glad I grabbed extra napkins with my popcorn! I experienced all those wonderful emotions and then watched A Dog's purpose.

This movie is a definite MUST watch, regardless of what movies you usually watch. Why? Because this is a really touching and beautiful movie.

And director Gail Mancuso really nailed it right on the head with this movie, making a very memorable and truly magnificent movie. This movie has something for everyone in the audience, and I am sure that everyone watching it will take it to heart and bring something with them from the movie once it has ended.

The story is heartfelt and warm, a story full of love and passion. And it is a story that gets under your skin - in a good way - and stays with you for a long, long time once the movie is finished.

I will say that this movie is a feel-good movie that you can definitely watch more than once. And that is quite an accomplishment for director Gail Mancuso, believe you me.

They have a great cast for the movie, and I will say that Dennis Quaid was phenomenal in the movie. But it is the dogs that steal the spotlight here, of course.

I am rating "A Dog's Journey" a very well-deserving eight out of ten stars.

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.

Saw the film with my wife and 13 year daughter this evening and loved the film. We all three had some tears at various points in the story. Just made me want to hug my family. Great story, good acting, well done. Thank you to the producers, writers and everyone else involved. Might just go read the book now.

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.
