Now streaming on:

Is “A Dog’s Journey” one of the sweetest canine films out there, or one of the meanest? While I generally favor the latter reading, the gentle sniffling mixed with occasional awws and chuckles that broke out during my screening suggests the majority of the audiences will understandably lean otherwise, as they did with the film’s 2017 predecessor, “A Dog’s Purpose.” In theory, this unconditional affection seems mighty unjust for a shameless family franchise that kills an average of four to five dogs per movie, sometimes, in unspeakably wretched fashions—seriously, where is John Wick when you need him? And yet, as visually uninspired and ideologically conservative as it may be, there seems to be something beguiling about the series that keeps one (including myself, admittedly) on a short leash. Turns out, very few are immune to the sneaky suggestion that certain dogs and humans are meant for each other for life.   

This is indeed the philosophy behind TV veteran Gail Mancuso ’s “A Dog’s Journey,” which follows in the paw prints of its Lasse Hallström-directed ancestor with its assembly line of doggie fatalities. (Every dog-loving cinephile’s most cherished website “DoesTheDogDie.com” must be having a field trip with these films.) And before you cry out “spoiler alert,” know that spelling out the mounting corpses of our four-legged furry pals in these tearjerkers is not exactly a wrongdoing. Adapted from W. Bruce Cameron’s best-selling novels, the pair of syrupy films follows a Buddhist philosophy, imagining a world in which a dog’s spirit reincarnates in the body of a new adorable puppy (somehow, voiced by Josh Gad even when it’s a female) and pursues its original human to eternity.

“Journey” picks up where “Purpose” had left off, dropping us on a tranquil Midwestern farm ran by the impossibly wholesome couple Ethan ( Dennis Quaid ) and his wife Hannah ( Marg Helgenberger ). Their carefree “Boss Dog” Bailey, a handsome Great Pyrenees Bernese Mountain Dog, runs around the picturesque fields and happily chases his own tail, while keeping a watchful eye on Ethan and Hannah’s baby granddaughter CJ (affably played by Abby Ryder and Kathryn Presscott in later ages), parented by the couple’s heavy-drinking widowed daughter-in-law Gloria ( Betty Gilpin ). Bailey exits the picture soon enough—poor Boss Dog has a cancerous lump—but returns promptly in the body of Molly the mischievous Beagle, reuniting with the 11-year-old CJ to keep a promise he’s made to Ethan. Now living away from her grandparents with the negligent Gloria, CJ finds the kind of comfort and support every child needs in Molly.

Our determined pooch returns again and again as Bailey drops dead in a continuous loop: once, as the African Boerboel Big Dog living on a roadside convenience store (or, “a house made of snacks,” as he calls it), and then as the snippy Terrier Max. Meanwhile, CJ goes through her own transformation and finds herself in the unforgiving streets of New York City as a budding musician with a severe case of stage fright. A series of mean boyfriends—one, a dangerous stalker responsible for Molly’s horrific death—doesn’t help with her insecurity, until she stumbles upon her beloved childhood friend Trent ( Henry Lau ) and falls in love. (Guess what wet-nosed character masterminds the reunion with a paw shake and tail wag?)

Rest assured, there is sufficient amount of cuteness to go around in “Journey,” complete with dutiful canine humor around pooping, face licking, and the perpetual pursuit of food. But while the film engages with the sadness and despair of certain life crises head-on—an unexpected case of terminal illness is especially well-conceived in that regard—it strangely falls short of treating others with the empathy and seriousness they deserve. Written by Cameron, Maya Forbes , Cathryn Michon and Wallace Wolodarsky , the story is outright hostile to Gloria, a paper-thin character whose mourning and alcoholism receives a cruel one-dimensional treatment. A gold-digging ex-girlfriend of Trent suffers in the hands of a similar caricaturized vision. And yet, no one comes to a film like this, where the world is divided into absolute goods and evils, for nuance or subtlety. If you can look behind the flat visuals and prescriptive pleasantries of “Journey,” you might just get on board with its compelling-enough tale of lost souls, found and lifted up by their forever-loyal pooches. On this earth and beyond.

‘A Dog’s Journey’ Review: Dennis Quaid & Bailey Are Back In Emotional Sequel With Heart And Purpose

A Dog's Journey

When it comes to dog stories, author W. Bruce Cameron is prolific in writing them and then getting them made into movies. Universal released his A Dog’s Purpose  in 2017, and now has followed it up with a sequel, A Dog’s Journey.  The latter is not to be confused with Columbia’s Cameron opus A Dog’s Way Home, which was a separate tale that came out earlier this year, but you would be excused if you think you were experiencing deja vu. You aren’t.

Of the trio the latest is the greatest, especially for dog lovers who want to believe our mutt is looking out for us like a guardian angel. Emmy-winning TV sitcom director Gail Mancuso has taken over the directing leash from Dog’s Purpose  helmer Lasse (not Lassie) Hallstrom, who once made a movie called My Life As a Dog which wasn’t about dogs at all, but I digress.

It’s during a highly emotional scene as the aged Bailey is being put to sleep that the promise is made — as we are only too aware throughout this movie, as in Purpose, with Josh Gad’s voice-over performance as Bailey and all his alter-egos (which this time include a beagle/spaniel mix named Molly rescued by the 11-year-old CJ (Abby Ryder Forston); Big Dog, who has a brief chance encounter with CJ; and  a Yorkshire Terrier named Max, who stumbles into the life of an older CJ (now played by Kathryn Prescott).

Along the way there are plenty of funny adventures with the various incarnations of Bailey, all determined to make sure CJ lives a good and happy life despite her propensity for hooking up with the wrong kind of boyfriend — particularly in a subplot involving a creepy guy named Shane (Jack Manley) that goes very bad. I could have done without that part, but it is obviously thrown in to add drama. There is also her good childhood friend Trent (Ian Chen and Henry Lau at different ages); clearly he is the guy the dog needs to keep in the picture, and does so especially when a cancer diagnosis becomes part of the plot.

Mancuso does a lovely job of making the transitions and brief dog death scenes less painful and numerous than they were in A Dog’s Purpose,  and she has found the perfect cornfield as a connective tissue. And speaking of tissue, you made need a few. — Mark Isham’s lush score makes sure of that. As for the actors, it is nice to see Quaid back, even with heavy aging makeup. Marg Helgenberger, with little to do, replaces the late Peggy Lipton. Prescott and Lau are particularly impressive, and Gilpin brings a certain complexity to Gloria that makes a largely unsympathetic character feel very real.

I am a sucker for a boy-and-his-dog movies of every stripe, but this one flips the usual gender and makes a girl and her dog just as effective. I have to say it really hit the spot for me. Anyone who ever loved a dog and had to say goodbye will likely agree this movie is therapeutic.

Check out my video review that includes scenes from the film in the video above. Gavin Palone is the producer and Universal releases the film Friday. I say go.

‘a dog’s journey’: film review.

In 'A Dog's Journey,' a sequel to 'A Dog's Purpose,' Kathryn Prescott joins the ensemble as a troubled young woman whom Bailey, the frequently reincarnated canine, keeps coming back to help.

Centered on the soul of a loyal mutt (amiably voiced by Josh Gad ) who has the spiritual equivalent of a season ticket that keeps sending him back to earth after several deaths, A Dog’s Purpose and now its sequel,  A Dog’s Journey,  serve up a sugar-coated, bastardized form of Buddhism for pet lovers. They’re easy films to sneer and snark at, especially given that both, and the first one especially, trade in a certain kind of wholesome, backlit, wheat-field-swathed image of America (actually shot in Manitoba, Canada).

Even worse, both films are ruthlessly efficient when it comes to jerking tears. Some prideful viewers are likely to feel resentful over how well the pain of losing a beloved animal companion is evoked. The tools are nothing more complicated than a likable cast (that goes for the dog and human actors); competent direction (Gail Mancuso, who oversaw episodes of Modern Family and Gilmore Girls , takes charge of the leash in Journey  from Purpose ‘s Lasse Halstrom); a surging score by Mark Isham to punch up the plangency; and some corny but hugely relatable plot devices. Ivan Pavlov himself (the original guy who taught dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell) would be impressed.

Don’t tell anyone I said this, but the result is not only pleasingly emotionally purgative, but also has some elements worthy of genuine admiration, despite the fact that the third word in the title is one that should now be entirely banished from the English language for its precious, psychobabble connotations. Aside from that, the screenplay by W. Bruce Cameron (author of the novels on which both  Purpose and Journey are   based), Cathryn Michon, Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky navigates competently between providing bereavement-based melodrama and butt-sniffing jokes, the twin poles of the Dog’s  mini-franchise. Along the way, with a story centered on a female protagonist this time, it quietly boosts a message of resilience and self-belief to young girl audiences, advising them that it’s always a smarter move to love nice boys and dogs rather than abusive jerks and pet haters.

Purpose  left off with our canine hero Bailey, at this point living in the body of a Great Pyrenees Bernese Mountain Dog, reunited with both Ethan ( Dennis Quaid ), who was Bailey’s owner as a child back in the late 1950s, and Hannah (Marg Helgenberger), whom Ethan used to date when they were teens. As Journey  begins, sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s, two new members of the family have moved into the Norman Rockwell-style clapboard farmhouse Ethan’s inherited: Hannah’s daughter-in-law Gloria (Betty Gilpin, from GLOW ) and her toddler Clarity (Emma Volk), also known as C.J.

Bailey is, as per usual, mostly focused on bacon falling on the floor in this period. He doesn’t truly understand what’s going on when Gloria — grieving over the off-camera death of C.J.’s father, who was Hannah’s son, and also a budding alcoholic and unconfident mother who feels jealous of Hannah and Ethan’s bond with her daughter — decides to up and leave with C.J., citing unfounded suspicions that they’re after C.J.’s inheritance money. The dog misses his small, pork-product-dispensing companion, but gets on with life in his phlegmatic, doggy way. When the time comes for Ethan to have the now-aged Bailey put to sleep permanently (arguably the film’s most sob-inducing scene), he asks Bailey to keep an eye over C.J. in his future lives.

Conveniently, the universe contrives to help him do just that, bringing Bailey back first as a female Beaglier (beagle/King Charles spaniel cross) named Molly that ends up being adopted by C.J. (Abby Ryder Fortson), now 11 years old and fending for herself as best she can while Gloria works through a variety of unsuitable men, many glasses of chardonnay and her few remaining hopes of ever having a solo singing career.

The script, Mancuso and the cast, especially the deeply watchable Gilpin and engaging up-and-comer Kathryn Prescott (who takes over as C.J. once she’s past puberty) effectively limn the layered complexities of this dysfunctional single-mom/lone girl-child menage, which scars C.J. in ways that only a loving dog can compensate for. Gloria fat shames her, cuts her off from her grandparents and neglects her horribly, which leads to her dating a skeevy guy named Shane (Jake Manley) — who might as well have a T-shirt with “Potential Stalker” blazoned across it — instead of her sweet childhood friend Trent (first Ian Chen, then later on Canadian K-pop star Henry Lau), who is always there for her. The core romantic advice from the Dog’s  films seems to be “never date anyone you haven’t known since childhood.”

It takes a few reincarnations for Bailey before his soul (now encased by a Yorkshire terrier), C.J. and Trent to all end up in New York City (playing itself with swagger), where the plot veers for a while into a young-people-face-cancer story, in the manner of The Fault in Our Stars  and the like. This extra layer of morbidity adds an interesting spin on the two films’ ongoing preoccupation with death, raising the stakes by having not just the loss of a beloved pet in the offing, but also the loss of a beloved friend. Tellingly, both potential losses are seen as equally devastating.

Nevertheless, it’s best not to think too much about the moral logic of Journey  and where it stands on the respective value of humans versus other mammals and animals. Or about why Bailey keeps getting reborn and coming back to these particular people and not, say, Joe (Conrad Coates), the nice man who runs a gas station near Pittsburgh, with whom Bailey lives when he comes back for a while as an African Boerboel named Big Dog. After all, Joe treats Big Dog just as well as any of the other dog owners and lives, as the inner voice of Bailey exclaims happily, in a “house made of snacks.”

Warning: this episode contains strong language.

Over the past week, students at dozens of universities held demonstrations, set up encampments and, at times, seized academic buildings. In response, administrators at many of those colleges decided to crack down and called in the local police to detain and arrest demonstrators.

As of Thursday, the police had arrested 2,000 people across more than 40 campuses, a situation so startling that President Biden could no longer ignore it.

Jonathan Wolfe, who has been covering the student protests for The Times, and Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, discuss the history-making week.

On today’s episode

As crews cleared the remnants of an encampment at U.C.L.A., students and faculty members wondered how the university could have handled protests over the war in Gaza so badly .

Biden denounced violence on campus , breaking his silence after a rash of arrests.

The airport’s media team confirmed that an incident took place last week between an employee of American Airlines and a passenger with a service dog. Bella, a Belgian Malinois, bit the airline worker and a passenger waiting for a flight on the morning of April 26, said Denver Department of Public Health & Environment spokesperson Tammy Vigil.

The airline staff member was bit in the face, and the bystander was bit in the forearm, Vigil said.

The injuries are individually considered a level 4 out of 6 on Dr. Ian Dunbar’s Dog Bite Scale, but, because they combined into a multiple-bite incident, the ratings are escalated to a level 5 out of 6, Vigil said. A level 6 is reached if the victim dies.

According the dog bite scale, the final two levels mean “the dog is extremely dangerous.”

The responding Denver Animal Protection officer didn’t confirm whether the dog was an official service animal. “That said, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ‘service animals in training’ are afforded the same legal protections as fully-trained service animals and generally need to be considered the same in places like the airport and airlines,” Vigil said.

The dog is being held at Denver Animal Shelter on a bite quarantine for 10 days until May 6, Vigil added. She declined to provide the owner’s identity because of an ongoing investigation.

The Denver Police Department directed questions to Denver Animal Protection. The American Airlines media team didn’t respond to a request for comment.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Hannah Marks on the Long Journey To Bring John Green’s ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ To the Screen

Hannah Marks blue shirt

Hannah Marks started acting when she was 6 years old, after seeing her mother’s acting reel. And she’s pretty much worked nonstop, from roles in the films “Accepted” and “The Runaways” to the cast of “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.” In fact, just last year she took her first vacation — though she confesses to recording several self-tapes during it.

Popular on Variety

After years of delays due to COVID and turnarounds and life in general, “Turtles All the Way Down” makes its debut today on Max and is evidence that some things are worth waiting for. In a film told with frankness and sensitivity, Marks has found a way to communicate Aza’s obsessive mindset while also capturing the joy of young love and celebrating female friendship. It’s a tricky balancing act, told with heart and a surprising amount of humor. Variety spoke to Marks about the long journey and what’s ahead.

She owes a debt of gratitude to Saoirse Ronan and Ariana Grande. Landing the “Turtles” job was a six-month process for Marks, who admits “being at the beginning of my filmmaking career; I knew it would be an uphill battle.” Marks put together a speech, a look book and a fake trailer using videos she ripped from YouTube. “I used a lot of Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet looking into each other’s eyes,” she says of the film’s romantic moments. She also communicated her vision for Aza’s obsessive thought spirals. “I used a lot of microscopic imagery with staticky sounds,” she notes. “But I wanted it juxtaposed with upbeat pop music, so it didn’t feel like a downer. I think Ariana Grande’s ‘Breathin’ had just come out, so that became the foundation for the trailer.” Marks says that trailer, made in 2018, actually feels surprisingly similar to the final product. “Of course, the shots and music are different, but the soul is definitely the same,” she notes.

Despite the fact the film wasn’t shot until 2022, all three were cast in the beginning and stayed with the project through its delays. “Ironically, they felt a bit too young then,” Marks says. “But we loved them so much, we went with it.” The additional time gave her cast more of an opportunity to bond — though Merced and Cicchino have actually known each other for years. “The chemistry between the best friends is just as important as the romantic chemistry,” says Marks. “And they just instantly felt right together.” Since it was during the pandemic, the reads took place over Zoom. “That’s every actor’s nightmare, trying to have chemistry over a computer screen,” Marks admits. She took a chance with Mallard, an Australian actor seen in “Ginny & Georgia” and “Neighbours.”  “You know, he has a tough role in this movie,” Marks praises. “I think playing a billionaire’s son is not inherently an empathetic thing. He deserves all the credit for being charming and supportive and for pulling off a perfect American accent. As someone who struggles with accents, I was blown away.” Marks, like everyone, is a “Succession” fan. The film also features turns from some veteran actors, including J. Smith-Cameron, a two-time Emmy nominee for her role as Gerri Kellman on “Succession.” Cameron plays a professor that Aza admires who, in one scene, elaborates on the meaning of the film’s title. “I am a ‘Succession’ die-hard, and I wanted Gerri from day one for this role,” Marks admits with a laugh. “So I wrote her a letter saying, ‘I’m a huge fan, please come and say the title.’ And she was so intelligent and warm and funny and soulful — everything you could want.” Judy Reyes also appears as Aza’s mother, and one has to note that she also appeared on “Succession” — did that have anything to do with her landing the role? Marks laughs. “No, she had a wonderful reel and can do such a range of genres and mediums — I was thrilled to have her,” she states. “But I’m not going to lie; it didn’t hurt.”

As an actor, she understands the struggle.

Having been on the other side of auditions, Marks wants actors to know there are so many factors at play when it comes to being cast. “It’s not just about your ability,” she says. “We saw thousands of people for ‘Turtles,’ and they’re all talented. I know it sounds simple, but only one person can get the job and it comes down to what fits right with all the other pieces of the puzzle.” She encourages actors to be true to their own spirit when walking into the room. “No two people have the same interpretation as the other. I spent a lot of time as an actor wondering how I could set myself apart. It turns out, I am different just by being me. My face is different. I come in with different baggage and experiences. Just be you.”

As both actor and filmmaker, she is hoping for a return of more in-person auditions. “Zoom is great because you can see people all over the world,” she acknowledges. “But it can be hard on an actor’s spirits to send a tape into the void and not know if someone even hit play.”

She’s also a John Green fan… like everyone.

The acclaimed author of novels like “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Paper Towns,” Green has been very upfront about how much “Turtles” means to him, having endured his own mental health struggles. He was also a producer on the film and always present on set. But rather than be intimidated, Marks says the hardest part was “not fangirling out” on the author. “He was so generous and so willing to step back and let me take the reins and hear my ideas,” Marks recalls. “He was a dream collaborator.”

And now he’s become even more. “The day the film opens, we’re going to celebrate together,” she reveals. “This movie gave me so much but one thing I will always cherish is that I get to plan friend things with John Green. It still blows my mind.”
