Critics Reviews

Tara Brady Irish Times A welcome, woofy warning against human speciesism. Rated: 3/5 Jun 14, 2017 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) This remains a textbook example of what the website Snopes.com refers to as "glurge" -- the kind of gooey uplift associated with the novels of Nicholas Sparks and their film adaptations. Rated: 1.5/5 May 10, 2017 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) It's hard not to be charmed by the film's pack of hyperactive, wriggling puppies, but there's only so much time to be spent watching them play before it becomes eye-wateringly banal. Rated: 2/5 May 7, 2017 Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Center for Media Studies Lasse Hallström once again provides theater-goers with some food for thought in A Dog's Purpose. Of course, the food tastes better out of the trash and bacon from under the table is just the best. Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Linda and Al Lerner Movies and Shakers It's a safe family film that's a heart tugger for dog lovers. Sep 4, 2019 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net The problem with that premise is you have to watch a dog die 5 times, which is like Marley and Me times 5.

Audience Reviews

Audience Member A Dog's Life" is an exciting remake of Bruce Cameron's film, filmed in the USA. The world premiere of the film took place on January 27, 2017. Directed by Lasse Hallström. The genre of the film is drama, fantasy, action. The plot is exciting and fascinating, telling the story of a dog that can be reborn after death and with each new incarnation comes closer to understanding a person and his problems. The acting is great. The people were very nice and experienced, I also liked the dog in the main role and I was surprised how well trained and obedient he was. The special effects are simply fantastic. I recommend watching this movie because it is short, only 1 hour and 40 minutes, and the movie is filled with love and kindness. I also recommend watching this movie because it's the best thing I've seen in a long time! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Dimitar M A heartwarming movie exploring the everlasting bond between a dog and his owner. Hating critics should be honest and just admit they like cats instead. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Eduarda O This review may contain spoilers.Pessoalmente, a ideia de colocar uma pessoa para narrar os pensamentos de um cachorro me desagrada, mas foi até que bem colocada aqui, sem exageros, para expressar verbalmente as feições dos doguinhos. Parte que me pegou e diz respeito à prática dá-se no momento que a menina pergunta "No que você está pensando?" e ele responde "Que talvez eu já esteja pronto". Não esperava que choraria tanto nesse filme (três vezes KKK) mas colocarei a culpa na minha TPM. Adorei a maneira que cada uma das vidas foram exploradas mas sem muito enfoque, uma vez que este é de Ethan e Bailey. Ainda assim, da maneira que aconteceu, consegui me apegar o suficiente para chorar na morte da cachorrinha Ella 🥺🥺 Muito bom o filme, e mesmo abordando espiritualidade - assunto cujo qual nos me simpatizo - fez de isso de forma muito leve e proveitosa. Apenas tem um início muito lento e quase desisti de ver. Assistiria de novo caso quisesse pagar o choro da semana, novamente. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Rafael Souza I want put 4/5 just for the audacity of the film's creator to make me cry until i sleep😡 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Antony G It made me laugh, it made me cry. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Ravi T Great movie! Definitely a good dog movie!
