Dog

[Opens Feb. 18 in theaters.] When a seizure-prone, heavy-drinking, cynical U. S. Army Ranger (Channing Tatum) is assigned by his commanding officer (Luke Forbes) to escort an anxious, traumatized, heroic military Belgian Malinois named Lulu that served seven tours of duty from the Joint Base Lewis-McChord military installation in Washington in order to attend the funeral of her deceased, longtime handler (Eric Urbiztondo) in Nogales, Ariz., in Reid Carolin and Channing Tatum's heartwarming, compelling, moving, humor-dotted, well-paced, star-studded (Q'orianka Kilcher, Ethan Suplee, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Darren Keilan, Amanda Booth, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Cayden Boyd, Bill Burr, and Nicole LaLiberté), 101-minute film, they try to build a mutual connection and friendship as they encounter several obstacles along their journey on the Pacific Coast, including being drugged by a wacky couple (Kevin Nash and Jane Adams) when he stumbles on their weed-growing business, imprisoned after the dog erroneously attacked a Taliban-looking hotel guest (Junes Zahdi) and pretended to be blind to obtain free hotel amenities, and searched for his belongings stolen by a homeless man.
