Review of A Dog's Purpose (2017) by Lolly S — 15 Feb 2017

A critic's job is to write a movie review that I can read with the purpose of avoiding wasting money and time on garbage. Unfortunately, I've gone to a significant number of movies rated above 90% on the tomatometer that were in fact complete garbage.

I've absorbed the loss quietly, but not today. My 6 year old granddaughter asked me to take her to this movie and I was hesitant because of the 35% tomatometer rating, but she insisted and I did and I am glad I did.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie notwithstanding the rating by the critics, who should send their paychecks to charity. I guess if someone doesn't say fuck twenty times and fifty cars aren't destroyed and at least two women show their boobs, a movie can't be a critical success.

Yes, I am a dog owner and that makes me a bias reviewer, but I'm also bias against movies that use gratuitous violence and sex to sell tickets and impress critics. I suppose the critics think they are paid to write their personal opinion and if that were the case then they should keep their reviews in their dairies.

They are paid to give me an insight to the movie so I can make an informed decision. By that measure, the 35% tomatometer is a failing grade when compared to the 75% audience approval, which should be the target of your scribbling.
