Dog attempts and mostly does a solid job walking a perilous line, being honest about and sympathetic to the concerns and inside jokes of veterans without licking boots or justifying endless war.
Dog is uneven in tone and quality but shows promise in the way Tatum and Carolin approach the story with care and heart.

Movie isn’t perfect but all the important parts are. As someone that loves dogs, well all animals, and has been through some very hard times in life, this really hit home. Very emotional. No human can ever love you, be as loyal, and make you feel as loved as a furry friend. They saved my life too. God bless all the service dogs & their humans.
Report
This low budget movie is very successful and I could understand when I watched the movie. This movie is also worth to watch.
Report
At heart, this is a film that just wants some good pats, and it’s willing to do whatever it takes to get them.
Dog is a bumpy, unpredictable ride because that’s what our heroes are on, but it’s all delivered with a gentle touch and authentic feeling that assure us that Briggs and Lulu are heading in the right direction.
Dog cannily smuggles a nuanced inquiry of a social issue under the guise of popular entertainment.
There should be a special category for movies, like “Dog,” that are hard to enjoy but easy to take. They’re not entertainment. They’re more like a vague form of companionship. They aspire to little but demand nothing, and, if you like, they can keep you company. You can’t call that a good movie, but you’d have to be a creep to call it a bad movie.
The tonal imbalance and the mismanaged themes make for an extremely uncomfortable watch. However, Dog might find an audience, one that is not so bothered by the lack of depth, and who will tolerate the surface-level insight into the issues it barely touches upon.
Dog is an comedy-drama film starring Channing Tatum and directed by Tatum and Reid Carolin. The film follows Army Ranger Briggs (Tatum) who is assigned to drive Lulu, a Belgian Malinois military dog, from Washington state to her handler's funeral in Arizona. The story focuses on the bond and unlikely friendship that develops between the gruff soldier and the dog during their road trip adventure.
Dog has the potential to be a heartwarming and feel-good story about the special connection between humans and their animal companions. Tatum and Carolin's previous film collaborations have been comedic in nature, so Dog seems to mark a shift toward more emotional, dramatic subject matter for the duo.
The premise of an unconventional friendship between a soldier and a military dog has the potential to be deeply moving if handled well. The trailers give a good sense of the film's comedic charm and emotional resonance, helped along by what appears to be a talented dog actor portraying Lulu.
While Dog may not break new ground cinematically, early signs suggest it could deliver a satisfying and emotionally effective story about the profound bonds between humans and animals, helped by Channing Tatum's likeable performance and chemistry with the canine co-star.
Report
The movie isn't bad, but is definitely more serious than the trailers would show. Channing Tatum also directs the movie well.
Report
An extremely dull and uneventful hour and twenty minutes before some okay dog payoff scenes.
