We recently enjoyed a family fun night watching Life With Dog from Mill Creek Entertainment. Life With Dog is not rated, and has a running time of 106 minutes. Starring Marilu Henner, Corbin Bernsen, and Chelsey Crisp. Life With Dog was written and directed by Corbin Bernsen.
Joe Bigler and he daughter Zoey are left to grieve the tragic death of wife/mother, Alice. After a bicycle/vehicle hit and run, Alice was left for dead. Zoey relies on her Christian faith to help her grieve, but Joe doesn’t share the faith of his daughter or late wife. Instead, he becomes a bitter man who is spinning out of control.
One day while watering his late wife’s flowers a dog shows up. Dog, the unwanted, uninvited guest, refuses to leave despite Joe’s many attempts to run him off. After time Joe begins to soften his heart toward Dog. Meanwhile, Joe’s neighborhood is being bought up by big companies turning the old homes into work/live spaces. Joe’s suspisions lead him to believe that one of these companies even plotted Alice’s death. When one of the companies sends a young man door to door to inquire about purchasing more properties, Joe ends up threatening him at gun point.
After a trip to the police station, Zoey finally convinces her dad that he needs help. He agrees that he will meet with someone to talk. When she shows up with the pastor, Joe is resistant to talk at first, but then does open up some about his unanswered prayers to spare his wife’s life.
Joe continues to spiral downhill with charges of aggrevated assault. Then to add insult to injury for Joe, his bond is paid by the pastor. Will he make a finally make a turn around? What role with Dog play in Joe’s recovery? I’ll leave that for you to find out. 🙂
What Did We Think of Life With Dog?
The themes were older than some of the kids. The younger kids response to what did you think, involved responses like it was ok. I think Life With Dog is more of a movie for teenagers and adults. Brock and I really enjoyed watching the movie. It certainly had me guessing how it might end.
Life With Dog is now available to purchase at your local Wal-Mart. The purchase of the Life With Dog DVD includes the Digital version of the movie.
