Parent reviews for Dog

Way too many swear words to even count. Adult situations like 3-somes, smoking pot, going to murder someone with a pickax, suicide, how a military soldier "takes the easy way out" and the entire movie the main charter is just trying to get laid and constantly drinking whiskey from the bottle.

I went to my local cinemas to view this film. I viewed it with my 13 year old son. We thoroughly enjoyed it, although there is few mild words, nothing too bad! Would recommend this film, it was quiet enjoyable!! In fact I will be taking my son again, accompanied by his friends. Thankyou for this film!! 😁

Very disappointed. A few funny parts. Seem to drag on and on. Preview indicated hilarious show. We went w adults and teens. All disappointed...Rediculous inconsistency throughout. Where does bi sex fit??

This movie tells a good story about self-realizations and how the strongest bonds form in unexpected ways and circumstances. Entertaining movie with good messages about redemption.

this movie was so bad we left before it ended

Yes, there's some drinking and other unsettling themes. But that's sort of the whole point. Unlike other movies that only glorify the military experience, this one shows the very real damage that impacts some, both human and canine. Both Briggs and Lulu are broken, physically and mentally. That said, the movie also shows the possibility of healing and redemption, and the importance of trust and leaning on others.

Not a family friendly movie, left theater after 20 minutes with 2 kids under 13. Adult content, alcohol, cursing, violence, creepy, and too touchy. Would recommend rating be adjusted to "R".

This was a movie about healing from war trauma - both for a soldier and for a canine. The nature of that trauma compels the intensity of the main character’s poor choices: a broken man makes broken choices, chasing fleeting and shallow pleasures like casual sex and alcohol to fill the gaps of sense of purpose that being a Ranger once gave him. The crass language and poor life choices in the movie are abundant. But ultimately the movie is about healing and choosing connection over blind bravado. It’s about honest self-reflection and loyalty. It was not a comedy, as portrayed in the trailer. The trigger warning insinuated by the “diverse representation” rating in this common sense movie review completely lacks common sense IMHO. A traumatized war dog trained to see Middle Eastern men as a threat attacks a Middle Eastern man in a hotel. It isn’t a glorified act of violence; it’s an understandable reaction from a traumatized animal, just like all his other violent and unpredictable behavior in the movie.

I'm only writing this to counter several overly critical reviews. First, correcting some VERY inaccurate reviews: - PG13 is appropriate. - there were approximately a dozen times someone swore. - there is NO sex, either actual or even implied. - there were under a dozen actual times alcohol was consumed. - the movie touches on the VERY real issue of PTSD and military suicide in a very sensitive and caring way. - pointing out Portland as being "woke" when the movie spends under 10 minutes in a single bar there is laughable. - if this movie forces the "sex" discussion with your children my guess is they probably understand sex better than you do. - if the "sex" discussion with your kids is what you took away from this movie, you REALLY are avoiding some very serious conversations with your kids involving mental health and the impact war has on those we send to fight them. The story was very well told with a well done character arc.
