A Dog’s Purpose Storyline
In the 1950s, a feral puppy is born, wondering what life’s true purpose is. Two weeks later, he is whisked away to the dog pound and quickly euthanized, wondering if “fun” truly is life’s purpose. His strong spirit is reborn and reincarnated as a newborn Retriever puppy in 1961. He leaves his cage at a puppy mill and is found by two garbage men who plan to sell him. They leave to drink, and the dog is spotted locked inside their pick-up truck by a young boy named Ethan and his mother, who rescue him from heatstroke. After they convince Ethan’s father, the dog is allowed to stay and is renamed Bailey. Bailey and Ethan bond quickly, especially over the summer when the family visits Ethan’s maternal grandparents’ farm, and Bailey now believes Ethan alone is his purpose.

A Dog’s Purpose Movie Reviews
Surprised by the low rating- it was an excellent movie
Let me state up front that compared to “other movies” this movie is not a 10 but for what I expected it to be -a kid friendly, fun-loving movie that is relatively straightforward- it gets a 10. My 8 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter loved it, and so did I. It was sweet and heartfelt.
I cried each time the dog became another dog, and I don’t think I am that sensitive.
In fact, this movie reminds me a bit of look who’s talking, in the mind of a baby but in this movie, in the mind of a dog. It may feel realistic for some and not for others but who cares, it is a movie to make you smile and it is definitely not reality.
sappy dog film lost its way
A dog gets reincarnated over and over again. He’s named Bailey and becomes a loving companion to Ethan. Ethan has a romance with Hannah. They are derailed by tragedy and Bailey is reborn again and again.
Dog reincarnation is problematic as a story device. The first half is a sappy doggy melodrama. It’s nothing new and almost hits the heartstrings towards the end. The second half has the reincarnation problem. It becomes repetitive and disconnected which leads to the final section. It’s interesting to try to reconnect the plot. By that point, the movie had already lost its way home.
