This film's trailer and classification might lead you to believe it's a comedy and although it has some humor in it, it is primary a drama. I was expecting lots of laughs based on the trailer, but I realized the editing on the trailer doesn't match the type of editing style of the actual film.
The film is about two post-war veteran army rangers. Both have unresolved issues. One of the veterans is Army Ranger, Jackson Briggs (Channing Tatum). The second is a K-9 Army Ranger by the name of Lulu.
After Lulu's master death, Briggs is charged with the task of delivering the K-9 to its former master's funeral for a last goodbye. The two rangers are reluctantly paired together on a long road trip to the funeral. While on their journey there, the two eventually find comfort and solace in each other. But there are plenty of hiccups along the way.
The film doesn't spell out what Briggs and Lulu are going through. The story is carefully explained through the nuances in their acting and body language. So, this is a read between the lines type of movie. The film is a bit slow but that's probably a good thing considering what the intent of the film is meant to be. Briggs also has domestic issues, but the true nature of the issues aren't disclosed. But based on the fact he wants to leave on another rotation to active duty, it seems he is trying to escape problems with his daughter's mother. Can't tell if he is married to her or just a girlfriend.
It's a good film but probably not a film children will enjoy but empathic adults will understand. Particularly military families.
Plot summary
Two former Army Rangers are paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. Army Ranger Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier's funeral on time. Along the way, they'll drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.

It's a drama, not a comedy.
A Journey of Searching & Healing....
7/10
This film officially releases on Friday, but my local Cineplex had an early showing that I took advantage of.
I must say that this film actually exceeded my expectations. This trailer didn't come across as very emotional, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. There were a lot of offsetting funny and serious parts throughout with just enough emotional tension to finish the film off as expected.
I liked Channing Tatum here because he was able to express those funny and serious tones with his interactions coming mainly between himself and the dog, Lulu. The few interactions he had with people were spot on. Some military humour was thrown in there that not everyone found tasteful, but I found hilarious.
Although it had a military vibe to it. I don't think one would have to support the military to enjoy this one. If you care about dogs, and especially dogs finding their place in one's life and vice-versa, then I would definitely recommend giving this one a try.
I thought it was longer, but 90 minutes was perfect timing for the film. Although some of the fluff pieces felt just that. Fluff. I would've liked to have seen more silent, emotional moments such as flashbacks to show background to the trauma, but overall the film had good pacing and the story was told in its structured setting.
Overall, truly a good film that I came out of emotionally touched and happy to have seen. Good acting by Channing Tatum and the story was relatable and enjoyable.
Until next time.... Enjoy the show!
At times, it's excellent
Co-director and star Channing Tatum does a nice job with "Dog". It is a great looking movie filled with nice performances. The story does take a few unexpected turns but it never loses focus. The movie has a nice pace and packs more emotion than one might expect. Also, the dog is great. "Dog" is a well done, emotional movie. Honorable mention: the soundtrack. (I saw "Dog" at Regal, Westbury, NY.)

Lulu who in real life is actually Channing Tatum's real life dog.
THANKS YTS!!!
It's an ok film, nice one to chill to. Reminds me of average films back in the 90s before hollywood went super woke
More of a drama with a couple of lighter moments to stop it becoming depressing than a "Comedy Drama" .... Not a bad film overall... but not what I was expecting ...
I didn't decide that movie is good ro bad when I read to comments. Probably ? have won't give a chance
I wonder how long it took 'em to come up with the title. I mean, this is a movie that released in 2022. Is this what we can expect in terms of content from hollywood these days? What's next? Ball: the sequel?
I didn't know Channing Tatum was the director! Actually not a bad movie! Thanks, YTS!
Thank you freeman
Long life ???????? uploader thanks
This movies was great shows everyone not just human soldiers go through hardships, for all you haters go back to what ever life you think you have. I was an MP in the GUlf war my parter was a K-9 and its hard when one looses the other so if you cant handle the truth then dont watch it it was not meant as a comedy
9/10
I didn't find it to be much of a comedy. It was lot darker than i thought it would be. It wasn't bad, just not what i was expecting.
Could have been a lot better. Not much is worth paying for anymore and this one falls into that category.
could have been much better
At long last a movie of single genre.
2GUNS please...
I thought it was a decent movie. it is a huge load off not dealing with the gay agenda in this one! Wholesome comedy minor part where things get frisky for a sec but nothing too extreme
Extremely overhyped movie.JUst another doggie movie with a good looking lead actor who of course has to get his shirt off sometime in the movie.One for the ladies
Long live YTS!
Thanks for the upload. Great movie. By the end of next week, I expect you guys to have Avtar 2 and 3 uploaded along with the next Star Trek movie that just got green light.
Thank you for the movie! But the movie wasn't all what I expected. I believe the end was about the best of it all. the comedy was terrible. still a good not great of a movie
