Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

A Dog's Purpose (out May 4) is a film for dog lovers. They’ve found the cutest dogs imaginable and continually put them in situations that will melt hearts. That wasn't enough for me though. The film tries to blend comedy and drama but creates cheesy scenarios (such a kidnapping) that are laughably bad. Grade: C.
