Despite the cynicism that permeates any film about family values, Dog Gone takes great pains to avoid sentimentality. It’s a tearjerker with mature intentions.

As aww-inspiring as the human and dog moments in the movie are, it is the human encounters along the search that are the heart of the film.

Inspirational cinema for newbies or fervent consumers of this style. It's not that it's really bad but it's not a good movie either. It's just pretty uneventful. And the professional reviews said it would appeal more to dog lovers, but that's a bad generalization. I have five dogs and I didn't like it.

This exhaustively sanitized, overly saccharine take on the hero’s journey is certainly nothing new, but it remains rather uninteresting.

Dog Gone isn’t a very good movie. But if you and your kids love dogs, you’d be cheating yourself by missing it.

There’s a lot going on here, not much of it all that interesting. Although you do get to see Rob Lowe clomp around in the woods. And that's something.

Even viewers with a tolerance for this kind of saccharine cinema — oversaturated green grass, slow-motion sprinting, kindly biker gangs, and a fleeting bar squabble in which the nastiest insult is “Idiot!” — will likely say their favorite part is the end credits.

Just absolutely no, the dialogue, the flashbacks, the acting, this was at a full blown NO.
