I actually had a typo when I first wrote the summary line - it said/spelled god instead of dog ... same difference right? At least for any dog lover for sure. That and the Bahamen song aside (it will remain in the publics eye I beliebe),the movie certainly knows who (no pun intended) it targets.

The very first frame is quite aware of that ... but even if you didn't know this is about a dog you'd know that this is about something more than a regular kid the two main characters have a talk with .. funny at times and flawed too, this will either warm your heart or annoy you.

This movie is about interpersonal relationships between people, like most "dog" movies

there is not that much footage of the dog, and it's not that funny of a movie, lots of serious drama stuff with some humor. Even the humor parts are interwoven into the drama scenes

Its tough to find dog movies which focus on dogs, this movie is not one of those

My husband and I LOVE dogs so when we came across this on netflix it was a must watch for us. Any dog lover should definitely love this movie. I am personally a big nostalgia fan of Alicia Silverstone too and she looks great even after all these years. The guy playing her husband was extremely sweet and nice to look at as well!

As much as I like this movie, I did not love it as I thought I would. The title and trailer seemed to suggest that this couple are clearly dog people. There is a new phenomenon of childless couples by choice who choose to focus on each other and their animals who they treat as their children. This is what I thought we were watching but apparently not.

The couple from the very beginning are clearly strained and they tell their beloved dog that "mommy and daddy are getting a divorce." I assumed that the trouble in their relationship stemmed from something simple like over money or loss of love over time due to work and stress. My husband and I were dismayed to discover by the end that the conflict stemmed from the husband not wanting to start a family.

I really wish this movie was just about the three of them and not about any baby drama. They seemed to love their dog enough that they did not need children. And the movie seemed to vilify the husband and absolve her of any blame which I did not like. Were we really supposed to view him as the bad guy just because he was passionate about his job and life with her? The fact that she and the dog were enough for him really warrants her labeling him the bad guy?

Regardless, this movie is definitely worth a watch and maybe a second watch after an extended amount of time. I just wish it had been about them and the dog and no one else.
