Dog: A serious comedy. Channing Tatum is a discharged Army Ranger recovering from a brain injury, he wants to do a security guard course but needs clearance from his former C. O. Unsure that Tatum is fit the officer says he'll sign off on it if Tatum delivers a temperamental Combat Dog, Lulu, to her handlers funeral in Arizona. A road movie ensues with high jinks from Lulu messing up Tatum's encounter with tantric yoga practitioners, meeting up with an off the grid hippie couple and causing havoc in a hotel. There are plenty of laughs but also a very serious side to the film. PTSD, alcoholism, drug abuse and family break up among injured war veterans are explored. As is the monstering/othering of the enemy and the effect that can have on the dogs outside of a military setting, An entertaining film which you won't forget in a hurry. Directed by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, Written by Carolin and Brett Rodriguez. 8/10.

There are a couple of bits you will smirk at but this isn't a comedy, I'm a dog lover but for me this was just a played out cliche that just didn't work, it had two moments you properly felt the moment but the rest was just dull filler. Dialogue was weak, the bond came to late into the movie, I just didn't feel much of the connection, I think the problem was it was so predictable that it was expected so when things happened you just thought... well yeah. The dog was good, not a breed in familiar with but she was sweet. The bit at the funeral melted me. It'll definitely choke you up in two places but for me it's just not enough to rate this higher. Was too slow, to devoid of substance and just too meh, I don't think it helps that seeing pictures and hearing a story doesn't help you connect with the dogs owner, for me an extra 15 minutes of that , that showed both Tatum and lulus bond with the guy would have made this far better.

Dog is a very charming, but also very heavy movie with an excellent ending. It just has some really unnecessary parts and scenes that keep it from being a true masterpiece. Still, I would recommend.

Briggs, Riley, and Lulu, were all Army Rangers in Afghanistan, and suffered a variety of physical and, especially mental, traumas. Briggs' PTSD saw him invalided out, while Riley drove into a tree ar 120mph. This left Lulu, Riley's highly trained Ranger dog, suffering both PTSD and bereavement. Briggs, wanting official endorsement for future employment despite his handicap, is tasked with transporting Lulu (or Dog, as he calls her) down the Pacific coast to Riley's funeral. All does not go smoothly. This film, which features, essentially, Channing Tatum and a dog, follows assorted other movies about military and similar dogs trying to find their way post-services. Despite the drama which drives them, these have tended to be genial affairs, with heartwarming, tearjerking endings. This is not the case here. Both Briggs and Lulu are clearly quite badly damaged,mand that damage means that neither of them is ver likeable. Yes, of course, they catalyse a process of healing in each other, and some of the rough edges are worn off as the film goes along, but the ending is merely hopeful rather than throat-chokingly emotional. It was altogether darker, lower key, and not obviously going for emotional manipulation, and I liked it all the more for that. This is not going to have the Marley And Me audience leaving the cinema with mascara streaks down their cheeks.

This film's trailer and classification might lead you to believe it's a comedy and although it has some humor in it, it is primary a drama. I was expecting lots of laughs based on the trailer, but I realized the editing on the trailer doesn't match the type of editing style of the actual film. The film is about two post-war veteran army rangers. Both have unresolved issues. One of the veterans is Army Ranger, Jackson Briggs (Channing Tatum). The second is a K-9 Army Ranger by the name of Lulu. After Lulu's master death, Briggs is charged with the task of delivering the K-9 to its former master's funeral for a last goodbye. The two rangers are reluctantly paired together on a long road trip to the funeral. While on their journey there, the two eventually find comfort and solace in each other. But there are plenty of hiccups along the way. The film doesn't spell out what Briggs and Lulu are going through. The story is carefully explained through the nuances in their acting and body language. So, this is a read between the lines type of movie. The film is a bit slow but that's probably a good thing considering what the intent of the film is meant to be. Briggs also has domestic issues, but the true nature of the issues aren't disclosed. But based on the fact he wants to leave on another rotation to active duty, it seems he is trying to escape problems with his daughter's mother. Can't tell if he is married to her or just a girlfriend. It's a good film but probably not a film children will enjoy but empathic adults will understand. Particularly military families.

Military/ k9 dogs needs to be rehabilitated back into society They serve their country The country needs to show their thanks This is a must. I love this movie Stop putting dogs down for doing more than what some humans are willing to do. 1 person didn't agree with my review ??? So you think these dogs shouldn't get treated well? Whatta piece of garbage you are.
