Channing Tatum directs and stars in 'Dog,' the leader of the sentimental dog flick pack. Here's the review from PhilVillarreal
TUCSON, Ariz. —"Dog" bucks the trend of the umpteen sappy canine-based dramedies, such as"A Dog's Purpose,""A Dog's Way Home" and"The Art of Racing in the Rain" by avoiding typical mawkishness in favor of a harder edge.
There's nothing new about the formula applied here: A hard-edged man gradually bonds with a rowdy dog, slowly forging a life-changing friendship. At first, Briggs sees Lulu as a burden. He muzzles her, keeps her kenneled during long drives and has little more to say to her other than dissatisfied grunts.
As a travelogue, the film focuses on the deceptive beauty of the long, lonely roads and surprises that perk up from beyond the horizon. That's not to say things get dull. Both Briggs and Lulu have a knack for livening up any mundane situation.
