Life with Dog

So, a Christian movie is not always about Biblical accuracy. I am a fan of Mr. Bernsen so I gave him a break. His emotions and anger were really strong! After all, these are the real reactions of a man who is not a believer, his wife was. He is trying to come to terms with her sudden death. Next, the dog was the star of the movie...how did they get this cute dog's reactions to seem so human? The plot was not so believable, but it's not supposed to be, a man who doesn't have faith in God forgiving the man responsible for his wife's death and then letting go of his own anger...I liked the movie. I am not a movie 'expert' but liked the movie.

It is hard to forgive when the most important person in your life is suddenly taken away. In this case, Joe was beholden to his wife Alice for becoming a better man. Alice's visits as a guide and angel to Joe were touching and poignant. We enjoyed watching Joe go through various stages of grief and come out a better person because of it. Dog (God spelled backwards) gave Joe the support, silent but ever present, that he needed. Hard not to love this story of gentle redemption.

WORST movie EVER. ALL throughout the movie, he kept talking to his DEAD WIFE...a Ghost, he was full of hate that NEVER let up. We stopped watching it after 60 mins as it was just too ugly and the dead ghost is NOT biblical. We've never seen such a horrible movie...was nothing but darkness and that was too overpowering, I hope people will share their reviews as well about how much this movie STINKS...it made us feel awful!

Maybe 'cause I live w "death out of proper time", I felt this movie dealt w grief & anger quite well. It was real, the plot was Not predictable, and it was well acted. I would have liked to have seen or heard more of a "peace through the storm through faith" message from Alice, as there is a profound difference in grieving w/o faith in God versus trusting God through it. I've done it both ways, thankfully I live through it w God now. Well done on the writing Mr. Bernsen.

DO NOT WASTE time watching this dark movie. It will leave you feeling depressed....is the worst movie ever made!
