Leave your thoughts about A Dog's Way Home.
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhile the film has a few wobbles, most notably a prominent CGI cougar named Big Kitten who won't fool anyone, it is difficult not to be affected by this tale of a dog's love and loyalty. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfNot short on dewy depictions of animal relationships and the healing powers of pooch presence. What's added here is a layer of darkness that's unexpected. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyHeartwarming, mildly funny, and occasionally thrilling without ever being anything more than just fine. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazetteDan LybargerWhile Howard nails the right tone, there are times when Smith's camera and Shelby's face already tell us what's happening. The text that drove the book occasionally seems redundant. |
| The Only CriticNate AdamsIt would've been nice had this irresistibly charming puppy been taught a new bag of tricks. |
| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyThis may all sound too shameless and syrupy, but to its credit, A Dog’s Way Home scratches the surface of something I, as a pit bull obsessive, have never seen a “dog movie” do. |
| El Nuevo DíaJuanma Fernández ParísYou would have to have a heart of stone to not be moved by "A Dog's Way Home." [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsDon't be surprised if you just can't resist the transparent attempts to tug on your heartstrings, despite the fact that this is a flick which telegraphs it punches. |
| Crooked MarqueeEric D. SniderThe plot is harebrained, but once it gets to the dog's-eye-view of a perilous journey home, it's quality comfort food. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSo long as the film keeps its focus on Bella and the animals she encounters...the picture is engaging...Unfortunately, there are on-screen human beings...too, and they're a terribly pallid lot. |
