A DOG'S PURPOSE: This rather sugary look at the bond between animals and their owners does garner tears and memories of American as it once was. Dennis Quaid is the name actor attached to this project (he's only in the last half hour) that relates the re-incarnation of a dog over five decades and how it's owners were affected. While there was a bit of controversy about animal cruelty regarding one of the dogs in roaring waters, the producers eventually pointed out that the dog in question was computer generated. Hopefully, that is true. That being said, this is truly a family film and I'm afraid a little tame. Plus, some of the best moments were give away in the trailer (I hate that). So if you want to shed a tear, I suggest you go see "Lion" and leave this one to the dogs.
