The only reason this review got a 5 is because of Rob Lowe. That's it. Even at the ripe age of 58, this man continues to pack a handsome punch and it's obvious in this movie that he's hitting the gym on a regular basis.
If there's one thing that will turn me against a movie more than anything, it's an unlikable MC. This guy was unlikable, to be sure. He was irresponsible, was not worthy of being a dog guardian, and had no apparent reason to ignore his health challenges, an autoimmune disorder that could have, and almost did, take him out.
Many of us can relate to being more attached to an animal than a human and with good reason. A part of me felt for him while the other part resented his refusal to grow up.
In the end in a feel good movie all has to be well. Happy endings are essential though it took us awhile to get there. It took a crisis to do it but boy and dog are reunited.
Ugh. Though it jerked a year now and then, was the journey really worth it? I personally don't think so but you will have to form your own opinion.
