Although entirely predictable throughout and very sentimental, it is watchable thanks to the focus on following the human story from the dog's point of view and it would work well as a family film. However, the film's plot also centres around a strange element that suggests the central hero is reincarnated several times in order to fulfil it's purpose. This seems a rather hamfisted way of creating a central throughline to the story given that the narrator is the central character, yet a film that followed several different dogs would have still retained the theme of the film as well as made those moments where people lose their pet much more meaningful.
