My Response: This is the kind of movie that a certain group (dog lovers) will love no matter what, and most other people will think it's sub par. See it if you are the former, skip it if you're a cat person.

I have not seen this movie, but I have heard that it is a real tear jerker - grown men crying and the like.

I have heard the same thing, and here's my theory:

A dog lover is a dog lover no matter their age, sex, or religion.

And I'd be lying if I said I've never gotten chocked up watching a lovable pup on screen.
