I'll just say this right now, outside of everything, I did not think that this was a good movie. So, of course, I hear you think to yourself 'well, you stupid fuck, if you didn't wanna watch the movie, then why did you?' Let's just say my hands were tied and I didn't wanna be a dick to the person that did choose to watch this movie for us last night. And that is exactly what this movie was, down to a T. Because I knew it was gonna be exactly what it was, a syrupy, sentimental and melodramatic affair that shamelessly tugged at your heartstrings. How this has any relevance to A Dog's Purpose is as follows, I didn't want to watch this movie, I really didn't. The last two minutes of that episode are absolutely heartbreaking and this was years prior to having to put my dog to sleep. I even stayed away from the Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama and that might actually be the best episode of the entire series. Having said that, ever since that moment, I have pretty much tried my best to stay away from these sappy, sentimental, melodramatic movies where the dog dies.
Sometimes the only thing some people have are their dogs and that emotional connection that is built between them shouldn't be mocked because, again, you do not know what that animal means to a particular person. There's people who might say 'well, it's just a dog' and to those fucking dipshits I say that you do not know what that dog meant to me, so keep your fucking opinions to yourself. And it's a loss that I still feel to this day. Anyway, I had to put him to sleep in 2013, when I was 25. Being there when I was sad and cheering me up without even trying to. What ten-year-old kid doesn't love his dog, right? He was always there and he never judged, not even once and I couldn't be more grateful to him for that. You could say that my dog was my best friend by default, but I don't really see it that way, because I fucking loved that dog. It doesn't really work if it's a one-way thing, sort of like I can't consider Elizabeth Olsen my girlfriend when she doesn't even know who I am, right? Same logic, in my mind, applies to best friends. Regardless, I've always felt that to be someone's best friend, they also have to consider you their best friend. This wasn't as a result of anything my friends did, of course, it was just how I felt. After that, I did find a group of friends (which I was part of to begin with), of course, that I was very close to, but I never could shake the feeling of being an outsider. I did have a best friend all the way up until the seventh or eighth grade, I believe, when the classes got mixed up. The private school I went to, I got there in the third grade and by then some of the students had been together since kindergarten, so friendships were already established. I realize that that's a bit of a cliched thing to say, but it really was true in my case. To say that this dog was my best friend is quite an understatement. I got this dog when I was a ten-years-old, a few months after my tenth birthday actually. I guess I'll just start by saying that I had a dog.

Originally I wasn't gonna review this, since I don't know what to say about this and how to put it into context. But The Secret Life of Pets 2 is coming soon to steal family time and pet-loving attention, so A Dog's Journey needs to hurry up and find an audience or it'll be stuck in the box office dog house.So, yea, this is a movie that happened and that I watched. Memorial Day weekend is coming up, though, so maybe some parents are just waiting until the kids have more time off. So the fans who saw A Dog's Journey seemed to love it, there just haven't been that many fans heading out to see it yet. A Dog's Purpose also got an A CinemaScore, with A Dog's Way Home getting an A. A Dog's Journey got an even higher boost with a whopping 95% RT Audience Score, and an A CinemaScore from polled moviegoers. But the same is true for A Dog's Purpose, which got an even lower 34% rating from critics, but a 73% Audience Score from fans. Or maybe fans were just too interested in seeing Avengers: Endgame again, or Detective Pikachu.Ĭritics didn't care much for A Dog's Journey, giving it a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Why not? Possibly because A Dog's Way Home just came out in January and made $42 million at the domestic box office, and $34 million overseas. That film just doesn't seem to be on track for the same box office success as A Dog's Purpose. Josh Gad returned for the sequel A Dog's Journey, along with Dennis Quaid as Ethan Montgomery.
