I’m a sucker for a good family film, and throw a cute dog into it, and I’m totally sold. We missed A Dog’s Purpose when it was in theaters, but I’m excited to check it out with the family now that it’s launching on BLU-RAY May 2nd.
The gist of the movie is this. A devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Britt Robertson, KJ Apa, John Ortiz, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Peggy Lipton, Pooch Hall and Dennis Quaid.
After reading a few reviews, I’m not 100% sure I’ll let my six year old watch it. She’s my sensitive soul so I’m thinking we’ll hold off a bit. Wondering if it’s good for your kids? Here are a few reviews worth reading:
