Alissa Simon Variety Pic's main problem is that its human story lacks drama; Hachi's the central attraction. Apr 29, 2010 Full Review Robbie Collin News of the World This is the film equivalent of Nice biscuits, or snow globes, or N-Dubz. You're vaguely aware that they exist but you don't know anyone who actually likes them. Rated: 2/5 Mar 16, 2010 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard It(TM)s an extraordinary and touching story but told with too beady an eye on the box-office for comfort - even if you(TM)re a doggy person. Rated: 2/5 Mar 16, 2010 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) There's not a whole lot going on, it's pretty much just this relationship,between this dog and this man and it's really touching and and beautiful. Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) We all know Marley & Me is the Citizen Kane of dog movies that can drain all tear ducts. However, this one (also based on a true story) runs an honest, heartbreaking second. Rated: 3.5/5 May 11, 2018 Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media Dramatic story of a dog's devotion is emotionally intense. Rated: 3/5 Dec 19, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Rosemary P I love this film. It is so moving. Dogs are wonderful creatures who give us unconditional love. I have watched this film many times and each time I cry. If you love dogs and appreciate loyalty you will love this film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Frans B Absolutely the most heart breaking movie I've ever seen. Utterly emotional. If you are a dog lover (or animal lover, for that matter) you will understand, believe me ... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Jennifer B If you have a heart, this dog “tail” will warm it! When I need a cleansing cry, this is my go to! Dogs are The Best! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Pip S Ok, you might cry, you know. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Marit Risto F Beautiful, but terribly sad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Tony P Richard Gere has the distinction of starring in one of the most beautiful movies of all time.
