Had read the both. This is a nice adaptation but the ending of the movie was more sentimental.

It was a sad movie.. but we enjoyed it… a good one to stream, esp if you love dogs.

Acting was good, the story was real. Great dog trainer and thought provoking, heartwarming. On the dislike side it was a little bit slow.

I really like the movie and the past sequences incorporated into it to bring it up to the modern day. Of course I love dog movies. Naomi Watts and Bill Murray were very good in it.

Loved the dog and the story was very heartwarming.

Found it a compelling movie, housed by writers who couldn't use their words, to convey their desperation, loneliness and self sabotage. Their stories only becomes less opaque as the film progresses. I loved the NYC it captured, the natural aging beauty of Naomi Watts and the soulful eyes of Apollo.

Love the movie A lot of good thoughts.

Very boring. Also why did they have bill Murrays character cause of death be suicide and to make no provisions for his beloved dog. The dog was the best acting in this moving. I have a large dig and found it very sad at end.

We did not care for this movie, although the cast is great. It was slow and didn't grab your attention. I think the plot would be much improved if it were a comedy instead of a drama. Add in comedic elements, and it would be a cute and relatable story. The way it is now, it is boring. We left before it ended.

Great acting unexpectedly heartwarming. The dog(Apollo) stole the show! It deals with suicide in a very thoughtful way.

Thoroughly enjoyable movie, which managed to both be an homage to dogs, as well as a philosophical treatise about the meaning of life.

I found this to be a sweet story exploring the many layers of friendship.

I thought there'd be more humor

The dog was nice, but the movie was very slow.

Good story. You really get caught up in the characters and you will fall in love with Apollo. Very sweet story.

I loved this movie. I am a dog person, so there's that, but I thought the characters were very well developed and the movie avoided some of the usual cute dog approaches that can make a movie seem more superficial. There was complexity in the characters and how they interacted with each other. The dog was amazing! I read some reviews that said the plot was slow moving, and that may be true in parts. But my view of that is character development takes those kinds of momentts and every minute the Great Dane was on the screen was a winner. Loved it!

Slow. Not a great story. Nice cinematography.

Head and Shoulders above what is generally fussed over as being outstanding script writing.

It is a great movie, especially for persons who ever have known the love of a dog.

Really enjoyed. Realistic look into grieving. Well acted.
