The contrast therein is simply too lopsided to be forgiven. Further, there's not much in "Dog" that you'll find yourself surprised by. All the road trip tropes are accounted for and with the addition of the titular element — and her deceased, servicemember owner, to boot — the emotional manipulation is not exactly being applied in an oblique manner here. Imagine, if you will, a blend between "Rain Man" and "Turner & Hooch." That's basically what this is. Still, those last 20 minutes or so are just so damn effective. Yes, yes, they play on tried and true human tendencies, but I'll be damned if I don't feel revived by the idea of a happy dog. It's nothing to write home about as a film, sure, but the pathos within is undeniable when utilized.… Expand

Touching, but the story really stretches as far as it can go in order to force most of the situations Channing Tatum and the dog are involved in along their journey. I mean, some scenes were more than expendable.

Made to entertain for a moment, but I'm also pretty sure I'll have forgotten all about it by the end of the week.… Expand

As with any buddy flick, things start out "ruff," but they eventually settle into the expected warm friendship. Of course, they meet people along the way, but this is pretty much Tatum's show. His charm works, but he's battling a mediocre script. To further complicate things, this is Tatum's first directorial effort, along with another first-timer Reid Carolyn. They do an adequate job of telling the story, but there's virtually no warmth, so the emotion never materializes. They couldn't even generate tears during the grave site scene and to compound matters, the dog isn't especially endearing.… Expand
