One of the themes is that Bailey is reincarnated into a new life almost right after he's died in the previous life.

This was a tear jerking, laugh inducing, emotional roller-coaster of a solid family flick.
While it isn't quite Marley & Me, it was as close as you can get. The acting was adequate and the writing may be forgettable but the love between of Man's Best Friend and the many characters in this film is palpable.
I was hesitant to spend money on this film after hearing the negative animal abuse allegations against it, but I found them to be false. Apparently TMZ made it up.
So get ready for love, pain and lots of laughter that makes this a must see for every family! Just be sure to take tissues with you.
