negative · AI labelView post →Netflix set to shoot new family Christmas movie in Vancouver, A DOG'S PERFECT CHRISTMAS, based on book by W. Bruce Cameron, who also wrote A DOG'S PURPOSE. A family's struggles are exacerbated by the holidays, but a lost puppy that seems like a problem, could actually be the solution they all need.

positive · AI labelView post →We've been called Hollywood North a few times. We get as much movie action as Vancouver...just not the huge budget ones. They shot A Dog's Purpose here which starred Dennis Quaid and also the Brad Pitt movie about Jesse James. Brad Pitt was here for months. We also have Frantic Films here.

positive · AI labelView post →A Dog's Purpose is one film that will always have a place in my heart.. The series is great, but that one.. it leaves me in pieces for DAYS! 😭
positive · AI labelView post →We watched the movie versions of "A Dog's Purpose" and "A Dog's Journey" over the last two nights, as they are soon leaving Netflix. I just loved those books and the movies were good too. We thought of the many dogs we have loved over the course of our married life. Dogs are simply wonderful!

negative · AI labelView post →A Dog's Purpose asks a simple, almost greedy question: what if the dog you lost kept finding its way back to you, life after life? Bailey is born, loved, and dies, then returns as a new dog carrying the same soul and the same self-appointed job, which is to look after humans who do not always deserve him. On paper it is shameless. In practice it works, because the film commits completely to the dog's point of view and never once apologises for it. What lifts it above pure sentiment is the…

Plot & main cinematic device is anthropomorphic, teleological garbage But absolutely heart-warming 3 box of tissues job with the Pavlovian levers pulled hard and unsubtly for both sad and happy tears. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bJr...

Pretends it's got a happy ending, but the whole thing is just manipulative sadness. Well made, but oh so depressing! #ADogsPurpose #Reincarnation
negative · AI labelView post →The ONLY time I ever had to personally experience something like that was one scene in A Dog's Purpose (one movie you can guarantee I can never watch without crying) and hearing that my cousin had to end his dog's suffering (if I recall correctly).
neutral · AI labelView post →Drop a movie you love that no one talks about (A Dog's Purpose) (While it ROYALLY fails the "Does the Dog Survive" test, my GOD the concept is wholesome and creative with the idea of constant reincarnation allowing a Dog to contemplate thier purpose in life).

Especially for being a tearjerker fan in the early days. This looks like a sequel to 'Fluke', though it justified to be an independent film. Based on the book of the same name, directed by the one who made 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale'. A perfect family film, but entirely a fictional account. Do you remember those films about a human being trapped in the time-…
