Beck H @RT92492572 Apr 2 Dog Gone is a heart warming story that makes me feel like if all hope is lost it will be okay. When I watched this movie I felt that if a dog could make you feel good than we can all help each other.

I only made it part way though. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/18/2024 Sometimes you know instinctively that a movie is not good in a critical sense, but you feel it working on you in spite of yourself. There's nothing to do but sit back and let it happen. This is one of those occasions. Based on a true story, although a lot of liberties were reportedly taken to make it more family friendly, I found this to be a simple but effective little movie. Schmaltzy? Yes. Cliched? Yes. But effective. And I'm happy to recommend any decent family movie, although I think smaller children might grow bored with many of the scenes not featuring the pooch. Even at a mere 95 minutes, it does feel a bit long, and it could have used a bit more editing. Flashbacks involving Williams-Paisley as a child could have been excised. This is basically a Hallmark version of events - even the direst of moments feel overly sanitized, including a potential bar fight that is unintentionally funny. All that being said, I started preparing myself halfway through the movie for a couple of teardrops to be shed by the end. And I wasn't wrong. See more schnitz27 @FatCat203 11/12/2023 Wow! This movie was bad. My kids liked it well enough, but the characters, storyline, and themes were all so cliche and over the top that I couldn't resist mocking it as we watched (which actually made it fun). Rob Lowe must have owed someone a favor for this role! See more Views Of C @RT04210749 08/29/2023 Dog Gone - 7/10. I love dog oriented films! I'm a sucker for a movie where the dog is a main character. Dog Gone is a "based on a true story" film about a young college kid who adopts a dog while at college. Trying to find his way in life, he and the dog go back home after college, as his parents and friends unintentionally pressure him to figure out what to do in life. Though initially not wanting to have the dog in the home, the parents warm up to the idea as the dog brings joy and all with its presence. After an incident where they find out the dog has an auto immune disease that needs to be treated with medicine once a month, the dog gets lost one day, and the dad and son must go find it in a race against time before the medicine wears out. Its a simple film, not an amazing one, but it captures some things really nicely. Its definitely one of the better Netflix productions in recent times, and it is a good family friendly watch. An okay film with an adorable dog as one of the leads! See more Rckn R @RT14546783 07/30/2023 Waaay too sappy . Great premise and set up , but it's like a script out of 1975 Disney. Maybe the dog ran away because his family is too corny lol. Still, it's a positive dog movie and I love dogs so that's worth an extra star... See more Read all reviews
