A Dog's Purpose | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Indeed, we will tear up when Bailey dies (again and again), we will squeal at his return as a puppy, we will also scowl and hate humans when they deserve it. But we will not be tricked into liking a film simply because of these additions.

A Dog's Purpose is a movie with a good heart telling a well-intentioned story, but the constant tugging of heartstrings ultimately results in a fraying that significantly lessens the overall impact of the film.

A great big cream puff of a movie: not terribly ambitious, but undeniably sweet. It's a little bit scary, a little bit sad, a little bit sappy and a whole lot adorable.

Contrived and emotionally manipulative, with plotlines you'll guess within the first few minutes; but sometimes you just want to enjoy a cathartic emotional wallow while watching puppies with adorable floppy ears bouncing joyously through a cornfield.

The narrative is pretty interesting and it's nice to see a dog tell us his story. There are a few emotional moments that will make you hide your tear-stained face...
