The previews for this movie had me chuckling and I was prepared for a flat out comedy about a man traveling with a crazed dog. I'm not sure why the previews played down the drama. At its core this is a film about war trauma and how two army veterans, a man and a dog, help each other heal. It's heavy material.
I don't find Channing Tatum particular versatile as an actor and his easy breezy persona was often at odds with the character's situation. He's not bad, bit a better actor could have dug deeper into the character and made me care more.
Overall this film was a mixed bag. It's effective in parts as a drama, however, not particular funny when shown in the actual context of the lead character's sad situation.
