Chien perdu

Okay, so it's not the best film I've ever seen, but it was nice and there were some really good sub stories going on. It definitely wasn't awful! My big takeaway was thinking Johnny Berchtold was going to be one to watch out for in the future! He reminded me of Timothee Chalamet in his acting style and he hasn't done too badly! Give him the right role and we'll be seeing a lot more of him I reckon. His perfomance really hit home on a personal level (my own son) and that whole 'lost, trying to find his way' side story really resonated with me. Just a lovely film that isn't claiming to be anything else! Enjoy it :)

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!

First off, I must say, Rob Lowe has gotten better looking with age. I do not understand the reviews talking about the son being annoying. What reality do you live in? I thought the character reflected many young people who graduate from college and feel lost. The love for his dog was heartwarming. I really enjoyed this movie. Knowing that it is a true story, it restores my faith in humanity. So many good people helped the family.

I think all of the actors did an excellent job. I am totally in love with Gonk. It saddens me that some people are so jaded they could not find the beauty of this story.

Did I enjoy it ? Yes . Will I watch it again ? No .

I love dogs - I am a sucker for a true story , so a true story about a dog I can't resist . You have to go in knowing what you are going to get - and just with the title and trailer you should have a very clear idea . It's cheesy , the script is mediocre , there is basically no cinematic value , and at times the main character is honestly annoying .

HOWEVER- the story is incredible , the parents are actually pretty great characters , the way the universal love of dogs is portrayed is awesome , the dog was fantastic and the bond between elf and man was shown with great effect .

If you love dogs and can embrace it for what it is - a family friendly film with a predictable plot and mediocre writing - go for it - if not - skip it .

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!
