Dog is not at that level but it’s an entertaining enough movie that adds its voice to the important campaign to raise awareness about post-war trauma...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2022

Dog isn’t a film for kids. Truthfully, I don’t quite know what it is, aside from being a comeback vehicle for Channing Tatum, who has kept a low profile for the past few years.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 18, 2022

Dog is slickly mounted, crafted with a care for detail that distinguishes it from many of its sentimental dog movie brethren.

| Mar 17, 2022

Dog is actually a lot of fun, and it really earns the emotional beats.

| Mar 11, 2022

This does exactly what it says on the tin. But I enjoyed it much more than I expected to.

So what if star and co-director Channing Tatum lays on the sniffles in this tale of an Army Ranger and a K9 warrior named Lulu. Theyre both PTSD-scarred combat veterans who try to heal each other and they hit you like a shot in the heart.

Welcome back, Channing Tatum.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 25, 2022

Dog may be man’s best friend, but Dog, a snooze about a boring 1500-mile road trip shared by a dog and a man—both war-ravaged, brain-damaged soldiers—should have stayed in the kennel.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 24, 2022

The jokes are too familiar, and the message about the treatment of veterans feels crammed in and forced.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 24, 2022

“Dog” isn’t going to enter any annual conversations about the best canine films of all time, but Lulu is basically a good girl and Briggs is basically a good guy, and we’re glad they were given the high-concept road trip adventure they deserve.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 23, 2022

What’s more surprising than watching Tatum share a bath with a Belgian malinois is the message nestled among the film’s sillier capers.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2022

[Tatum] lets his cuddly co-star shine and wrings out a few touching moments of his own, too.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 20, 2022

The movie may leave something to be desired, but having Tatum back on screens is a welcome reminder of all he has to offer. And of course these two are kindred spirits. After all, who better to star in Dog than someone with Tatum's demeanor?

| Feb 19, 2022

While giving a performance that never ventures too far outside his personal hunk-goofball-soldier Venn diagram, Tatum turns out to be one half of a solid directing team.

| Original Score: B | Feb 19, 2022

At heart, this is a film that just wants some good pats, and it’s willing to do whatever it takes to get them.

| Original Score: B | Feb 19, 2022

Ultimately it does work, but “Dog” is a movie that is trying to do quite a bit, and perhaps bites off a little more than it can reasonably handle in 90 minutes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 19, 2022

The result is a mangy thing that underwhelms but nonetheless does have its moments.

| Feb 18, 2022

Tatum, as expected, brings depth and detail to a less than nuanced part, and the three Belgian Malinoises playing Lulu are gorgeous and, thankfully, not anthropomorphized with too many cutesy reaction shots.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Dog is uneven in tone and quality but shows promise in the way co-directors Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin approach the story with care and heart.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

A uneven, messy narrative, but it does prove an unsurprisingly effective showcase for Channing Tatums meathead charisma and natural grace.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 18, 2022
