Dog's Purpose, A
horizontal line

A heart-tugging, heartbreaking, well-paced, family-oriented, 100-minute Lasse Hallström film adapted from W. Bruce Cameron's novel with a high cute quotient in which a dog (voiceover by Josh Gad) learns to be man's best friend through various incarnations and owners, including a lovable golden retriever that brings joy to an eight-year-old boy (Bryce Gheisar) living with his parents (Juliet Rylance and Luke Kirby) in the 1960s through his years as a teenage football player (J. K. Apa) smitten with a classmate (Britt Robertson), a German Shepherd that works with a lonely cop (John Ortiz) to save lives, a Corgi that brightens the life of an African-American student (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), and then comes full circle as an Australian Shepherd/St. Bernard that finds his original owner (Dennis Quaid) years later on his farm and reunites him with his true love (Peggy Lipton).
