I dunno, so the movie is getting rave reviews, but I'm still inclined to give it a pass given how completely turned-off I am from the trailer. Nothing but trite and cliche, mixed with the cardinal sin of killing an animal as a cheap and lazy tactic to get the audience emotionally invested, and then pours it on all the thicker by giving the dog a sappy origin story. All the glaring reviews this movie seems to be getting, and I just can't convince myself that it's worth seeing. And don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who needs to reference doesthedogdie.com before needing to see a movie, nor does it bother me all that much when animals get killed in movies. I just found it to be a lazy and predictable (given how much the trailer played-up the puppy) method of pulling at the audience's heart strings. It's also hard to really believe the motives of the villain when he seems like the kind of guy who's rich enough to have an entire garage-full of muscle cars. I get that he doesn't realize who he's fucking with (until it's too late), but it just seems like going to carsoup.com would have gotten this guy the same results with less hassle.
