When I heard about the movie A Dog's Purpose arriving in theaters, I was very interested because my family owned a couple dogs when I was growing up. I'm someone who always has to read the book before seeing the movie so I read both A Dog's Purpose: A Novel for Humans and A Dog's Journey: A Novel (A Dog's Purpose) prior to watching the movie. I LOVED the books so much I finished them both within a few days and I laughed, cried, and smiled so much that I couldn't wait to see the movie!A Dog's Purpose is the story of a dog who is reborn several times as different breeds of dogs in different living situations and with, mostly, different owners. Each time he is reborn, he recalls events from his past lives and builds on his experiences so by the end of the story, he realizes how much he has learned and he's discovered what his purpose in life is, as a dog. The movie starts out with one of the dogs sometime in the 1940s and continues on through present day as each dog is reborn. In the movie, the dog is voiced by Josh Gad, who also voiced Olaf in Frozen. Dennis Quaid plays the dog's "boy" later on in the movie and really brings a lot of emotion to the story. This movie is about 100 minutes long and is rated PG.I was so excited to watch this movie that I pre-ordered it as soon as I saw it was available! I read the books just a couple months ago and the stories are still fairly fresh in my mind so I was able to recall most of the events pretty well. Overall, I LOVED the story. I'm more of a cat person but both my husband and I owned dogs growing up so we were able to identify with the dog's often humorous behaviors. I really enjoyed the story and laughed at the dog's witty comments and cried during sad times.The ONLY reason I didn't give this movie five stars is because some of the events appeared much different in the movie than in the book. I know that sometimes things are changed but I was mainly disappointed in the part with the German Shepard, Ellie. One of the dogs I had growing up was a German Shepard so I was most excited for this part and was disappointed to find out it had been changed quite a bit. Other than that, I felt the movie followed the book pretty closely and touched on most of the main points without becoming a really long movie.Overall, I really enjoyed this movie even though I was disappointed in one section of the movie. I didn't feel one particular section of the book was portrayed very accurately and I was only disappointed because that was the part I was looking forward to the most. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and laughed, cried, and smiled, just like I did with the book. There wasn't any animal abuse or violence and the movie only showed a slight portion of neglect. I also feel this movie is a good family movie. My twins are four and really only interested in animated movies at the moment but I would allow them to watch this one if they were interested. If you are interested in the books and the movie, I highly recommend reading the books first and then watching the movie. Just be aware that Ellie's story is shown differently. If you are mainly interested in the movie and love dogs, you will love this movie!

This film highlights the contrast - loneliness, selfishness, cruelty, heartbreak - of human life and the - loyal, unselfish, protectiveness and affection of the dog.Wonderful!What a contrast! What a rebuke!Presents from the viewpoint of the central character - the dog. However, one interesting twist is that when the dog dies, we switch to a newly born puppy, four times! The fascinating revelation is that the new dog contains the memories of the previous ones.Neat!First owner is a boy about ten years old. They grow up together. Boy, Evan, becomes star athlete. Dad becomes abusive drunk. Divorce. Envy drives fellow student to burn house. Evan permanently injured. Dog dies (tears) and we start new life.Young college girl afraid of friendships. Finally opens up and gets happy family. Dog dies of old age (tears). Years have passed.Now finds he is a German Shepherd who serves as canine partner with police. Saves drowning victim and his partner but dies from gunshot (tears).New puppy taken to live with young couple. Selfish and uncaring, both to each other and the dog. Owner dumps him far away so he can’t find his way home (no tears).Then the conclusion! (No tears)!Avoiding spoiler . . .Great story (how much Kleenex do you have?).What is a dogs purpose?Show that loyalty, affection are precious and wonderful, no matter where you find it!(Meditating on the title (as a question) ‘What is a dogs purpose?’; found the key idea is the word ‘purpose’. Purpose can only arise from wishes, wants, some form of plan. Evolution, by definition, is unplanned and without goals. The loyalty, affection, concern, etc. (seems to me) to completely discredit an evolutionary - ‘survival of the fittest’ - explanation. I have concluded, for decades, that this emotional treasure (love) is the gift of our Creator.)

Excellent production, fast shipping, perfect condition A+++++

Very good thank you.

Estaba superilusionada con haber conseguido la película en castellano aunque fuera como segundo idioma tras el inglés, y cual fue mi desagradable sorpresa que al ponerlo no se carga, solo aparece una advertencia indicando que no es posible reproducirlo en mi área geográfica . No entiendo que no hubieraa advertencia alguna sobre ello en la página de compra de Amazon He perdido el dinero en una película que no se carga en España. Muy decepcionada, me siento enfadada y sin confianza para adquirir otros productos por esta vía si me puede pasar lo mismo.

他の方々が言うとうり、わんこ好きにはたまらん内容です。まして愛犬を亡くされた方には（私も）涙です。ただ、説明にもあるように、日本語の音声、字幕がありませんので要注意です！

I've loved this film for years, now I own it for life 💕

Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed when this DVD arrived as it would not play on any of our machines and the message appeared on the screen that it may not play in our area. It was apparently manufactured in Mexico. I have returned it to yourselves and await a refund. I dare not order again in case the same thing happens again.
