That is the only way I can rationalize what I just watched without succumbing to the overwhelming urge to blow my brains out. Based on the box office numbers, I have to begrudgingly applaud them on their accomplishment. I refuse to engage with any aspect of the film's plot, character development, or anything that could even remotely be construed as storytelling. To do so would be to tacitly imply that this has any value as a work of art. Good job you absolute hacks, you have perfected the art of terrible writing, and in doing so exposed the raw stupidity and lack of good taste possessed by a frighteningly large portion of our population.

This thing is audaciously offensive, a blatant middle-finger to the general movie-going populace. The overwhelmingly positive reviews by so-called "fans" have GOT to be shills. I refuse to believe otherwise. It's either that, or all hope for humanity has been lost, we are irredeemable, and must be eradicated for the good of all other lifeforms on this planet.

TLDR: Don't watch it just get a real dog instead.… Expand

Although it starts out okay, as the story progresses it becomes more and more clichéd and annoying, doing the "child pretends to be parent over the phone," and the "obvious future love interest starts out as childhood friend" clichés. The story seems to repeat itself when there are two jerk-boyfriend sequences, and both ending fairly unsatisfying. I also felt a disconnect from any of the death scenes, as they never felt permanent, even if they were. Other than the screenplay problems, which also contains adults acting like children and a pointless cancer scene, the cinematography is average, the aging effects look awful, and the acting from Henry Lau and voice performance from Josh Gad are awful, although it may due to the lackluster script. Even though it's occasionally cute, with the opening and Boss Dog sequences being great and full of emotion, the overall story is hollow, forgettable, and riddled with things you've seen a million times before.… Expand
