 This movie surprised the heck out of me! Tatum, who also co‑directed this film, definitely has what it takes to make it big beyond an acting, or dancing, career. I’m old enough to remember how touching Tom Hanks’ Turner & Hooch was, so to do the idea again and to have done it so well really amazed me. It also has underlying messages on how this country treats our veterans, with two very distinct hard hitting scenes that make you want to scream. I have no idea what makes our government forget our heroes like that—-truly saddening. Back to the main plot though, the dog performed fantastic, the supporting characters also did well, but man that Tatum completely handled this film to victory and it was awesome. Very entertaining film, less comedy and more dram-edy than we’re used to, but the impact the movie has on you makes you forget all that. Great film.

    

 

 

 

 

 

 This storyline is an excellent portrayal of what the aftermath of post war does to some heroic veterans; ptsd, traumatic head injury, personal and families post combat conflict and also the trauma related anxiety affects on a service dog... It's a story that can't help but to tap into your emotions. It's amazing to see how Lulu's and the Army Ranger's personality is completely transformed being the result of unexpectedly being joined together from the Sargeant. Then as a result of fate and some complex adjustments they formed an inseparable loving bond. It does have subtle features of three adults having foreplay while dressed, pot plants and pot-laced suckers, whiskey and beer that children may question.

    

 

 

 

 

 Dog: A serious comedy. Channing Tatum is a discharged Army Ranger recovering from a brain injury, he wants to do a security guard course but needs clearance from his former C.O.  Unsure that Tatum is fit the officer says he'll sign off on it if Tatum delivers a temperamental Combat Dog, Lulu, to her handlers funeral in Arizona. A road movie ensues with high jinks from Lulu messing up Tatum's encounter with tantric yoga practitioners, meeting up with an off the fris hippie couple and causing havoc in a hotel. There are plenty of laughs but also a very serious side to the film. PTSD, alcoholism, drug abuse and family break up among injured war veterans are explored. As is the monstering/othering of the enemy and the effect that can have on the dogs outside of a military setting, An entertaining film which you won't forget in a hurry.
