Could've been better but was still a good, touching movie
I'll echo everyone else here and say this was not a comedy. There are ways that it could've been tweaked and written to have made it a true comedy, but Channing Tatum isn't a comedian and his solitary performance with a dog isn't enough to make it clearly a comedy.
What "Dog" actually is is an emotional road trip drama that is kept light enough with some off color scenes and jokes to keep it from getting too deep. And when you use that measuring stick, it is a pretty good movie.
If this film had fully leaned into that identity and developed Tatum's character a little better along the journey, and hadn't rushed the ending so much, it could've been a totally solid movie. Instead it is good not great, a little shaky, but still a nice watch. - cjonesas - 1 November 2023
[7.2] I love Belgian Malinois breed - their eyes!
A touching movie and a powerful experience for dog and K-9 lovers seeing the precious bonding experience and the development of it that the two shared and fine tuned.
It is full of "adventures", the process of getting to know each other and could have been made more powerful with Lulu being an actual puppy, being trained, getting to know Riley, adopting him and he her up to where the movie actually started.
In that sense, a two-three episodes mini series would have been more marvelous and more importantly seeing more of Lulu, the very smart, sensitive, emotional and cute Belgian Malinois.- Screenplay/storyline/plots: 7
