La razón de estar contigo

I prepared myself for this one. I really did. No matter what, I wasn't going to cry. It did take a major mental convincing every time though! But it worked. I didn't cry but I did feel a lump in my throat many times. But I didn't cry even though people were sobbing all around me. I simply focused on the bright side - the dogs! <3 I thought I would leave with a heavy heart but instead, I left with a smile on my face. :) A Dog's Purpose is a beautiful movie. It gets you loving, laughing, crying, and just to the right level, without overdoing it! Don't pay heed to the self proclaimed jury who think they can judge what happened based on an video that was released very timely. I decided to judge the movie based on what it is. And it's simple, beautiful, & true! If anyone has every had a dog, then you should watch it if you ever loved your dog. The ones we rescue, truly rescue us!

I don't really get why this movie was so badly reviewed. I enjoyed it and I don't get what was so bad to gain such negative publicity. It was heartwarming and entertaining and had some pretty funny and touching moments. Okay I get that this whole dog thing is kind of overused in cinema today and it is just an easy way to make the audience more emotional and touched but you already knew that when you went to the cinema to watch a movie called 'A Dog's purpose' right? Plus this is not exactly the case with this one. It talks about unconditional love and the importance of a friend in every stage of a person's life especially when that person lives in a dysfunctional family or has other problems with it's personal life. I am not trying to say that this movie is a masterpiece it is still guilty for clichés and some stupid scenes here and there but these are things you can not avoid. So yes I recommend it to the simplest among us. It is an easy movie to watch at any time and it will be very entertaining for those who are not very used to watching movies.

I was recommended to watch "A Dog's Purpose" as it was allegedly a very emotional and touching story. So with that in mind, I tracked down the 2017 movie and gave it a go.

Right, well I must say that I am somewhat conflicted as to what to think of the movie. On one hand it was an emotional movie, true. And yeah, it is a movie that will have the audience in tears, no doubt about that. But on the other hand, then I feel that the part of having the movie broken down into segments, with the dog returning to live different lives was sort of strange, and the two middle segments where the dog returned as a police dog and a pet to a lonely woman was fully and wholeheartedly there solely as serving as filling for the movie being able to pass as a feature length movie. These two segments served absolutely no purpose to the story, as the heart of the story was the bond and connection between the dog Bailey and its owner Ethan.

The voice over for the dog really worked quite well, because it was done rather nicely, without keeping it sappy or as a comedy aspect. It really helped bring the dog Bailey to life on the screen and gave it so much more personality and made it all the more lovable and easy to bond with the dog.

The acting in the movie was good, and it was especially K.J. Apa (playing teenaged Ethan) and Dennis Quaid (playing adult Ethan) whom carried the movie with their performances. But the dogs really stole the show, especially the two dogs that were around the Ethan characters in the various stages of his life.

"A Dog's Purpose" is definitely a family movie, and one that is quite worth taking the time to sit down and watch. Just ensure that you have to tissue within reach, because this is a tearjerker of a movie. I am rating the movie 7 out of 10 stars because this is the type of movie that hits straight to the center of the heart and stays with you.

This was a tear jerking, laugh inducing, emotional roller-coaster of a solid family flick.

While it isn't quite Marley & Me, it was as close as you can get. The acting was adequate and the writing may be forgettable but the love between of Man's Best Friend and the many characters in this film is palpable.

I was hesitant to spend money on this film after hearing the negative animal abuse allegations against it, but I found them to be false. Apparently TMZ made it up.

So get ready for love, pain and lots of laughter that makes this a must see for every family! Just be sure to take tissues with you.

Not the best movie I've seen but it was surprisingly good. Animal lovers will really like it. Ignore the idiots who spammed this with 1 stars. People overreacted after reading an article with a malicious narrative. Those people are morons and have tainted the rating of a rather likable film.
