CommentsXp Best movie ever!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

wingsonwater Really disappointed in the film as an avid Jon Katz reader and fan. It took how many weeks to build the HBO Memorial Lambing Shed? Where was it? And the film showed none of Bedlam Farm. Perhaps that hilltop where the Blair woman showed Katz what a real sheep dog can do was actually the steep hill on his NY property although the bulk of it was filmed several miles west of his home. The actual view of the village is stupendous, missed that. Where were the donkeys? Sorry, Jeff Bridges fans, but I did not get any of Mr. Katz's true angst from him. He was his usual, my-way-or-the-highway character, which I have grown very tired of over the past few decades. And I've been there for his entire career. I once had a pre-teen crush on the guy when he appeared in Sea Hunt with his dad, but ended up loving his brother way more. The last film I liked Jeff in was "Blown Away". John Goodman would have brought more of Jon Katz to the Jon Katz in this movie. I kept waiting the movie to really start and suddenly it was over. As dog movies go, the one about the Pig was better.

Aanna Wilton K I was looking for a heart warming movie for Christmas, couse i was tired of that nonsense sh*t that they give us in the television... So i was looking for a Jeff Bridges movie, just out of nowhere, it was a hunch :D The fact that a troubled man played by Jeff gets a trouble dog just sounded an interesting personality experiment. This movie was eye catching from the very first moment! I usually watch movie with playing on my tablet with my favorite game, but this time i had to take it down, and smile. A real dog-man relationship.And it teaches us something: how to accept someone else with the bad side, without changing him/her. No one need to change, we need to learn how to live together. It we all would be the same we could not make a difference, you would not be able to recognize anyone, couse everyone would be the exact same... Ugh...And the other lesson is how to learn to ask for help. And how to accept it! It is not easy to admit that you need someone else, couse you cannot make it on your own, it may ruins your pride. But we are mortal living things. Living together :) We still need to learn how to do it.So, it is a great Christmas movie! It never gets old.

kellwyn86 Jeff bridges : is truly a legend. its a sweet movie about a writer and his dog. enjoyed the movie thoroughly. The movie was simple and straight. Heart warming and happy ending. Must watch for every dog owner. Or any animal owner or animal lover for that matter.This movie is quite informative for inexperienced dog owners. Gives you a gist of how to care for an animal that has been through some trauma or is getting used to a new home. a must watch for every animal lover !

toyoshimad The "Dude" is back. And with a dog. Jeff Bridges plays a struggling, middle-aged writer (Jon Katz) who of course has writers block, adopts an abused border collie. Another "crazy dog" who's hijinks resemble Marley from "Marley and Me." The dog is seemingly untrainable. Par for the course. Katz already has two wonderfully mannered labs. So why is Katz to blame for his so-called anger with the collie? Who wouldn't be frustrated. But as the wise old dog whisperer told Katz, it's not all about the dog, but Katz and his inner anger. Okay, well, I didn't see Katz or Bridges playing someone who was particularly nasty. But what to do about the writer's block? Then comes the cliché epiphany. Write about his experience with the collie. Viola! I like Bridges. Who doesn't. But this movie plodded along with the same "bad dog" gags one has seen a thousand times. And of course, there's redemption, as dog accepts man and vice versa. And all is well in the world. Not the greatest dog movie around. If it wasn't for Jeff Bridges, I wouldn't have kept watching.
