The Stray

After watching this movie I had to put my DVD player on suicide watch. I should not have been jealous that the dog died and did not have to make it to the end

I can not believe this actually is called a movie! I rented it because I love dog stories and expected an amazing story. There are enough reviews here with "spoilers' to tell you about the "story", excuse me, there is NO story. On top of that, there is no acting. Drivil. Silliness. I kept thinking, "ok, wait, something is going to develop...." Nothing. More drivil! Just the stupidest story ever to be made into a movie. If I had the energy and years left, I could write a story of my favorite cow/pet and two favorites dogs, that really were an inspirational story that profoundly intercepted my life. I give 9's and 10's to most Hallmark movies. I'm a sucker for warm and fuzzy with a point or conclusion. Here, nothing. I could also comment on a certain odor that would have been present, based on my personal experience, but chose to forego.

Seriously a Garbage plot. Wanted this movie to be heartwarming and family friendly. But ended with nothing of the sort. Weird religious undertones throughout and a terrible cast that reflect artistic disfunction in almost all scenes; a true tradgedy of a movie. The dog was in the movie for 4 scenes. Not a dog movie!!!! Then dies. And the Dad.... what a tool!!! Not a good film, not good for the Family. Don't waste the money or time....

There was a lot to dislike about this movie. I am a dog lover but from the 1st scene till the tent scene the director had the dog barking constantly, you'd have to be an idiot to allow your dog to do this. After a short time I almost muted it. Terrible script and the only thing that made this movie worthwhile was the sexy Sarah Landcaster. I will recommend to anyone asking that instead of watching this go & watch some paint dry it was more believable & interesting

This is one of the worst movies I have ever had to sit through in my 54 years. Unintelligent dribble. There are 2 or 3 times that the dog actually interacts as part of the story. There is more script about the dog at it's funeral than in the entire rest of the movie. If you are looking for a sappy movie about a struggling writer this is for you. Notice I said movie, not story. I am still trying to figure out exactly what story was being told in this movie.

Nowhere in the summary did I read that this movie was some BS plot to show the world "gods" amazing revival skills in an extremely unrealistic plot about a son hating his terrible and absent father.
