A dead, talking dog that is. Anything else would be quite ridiculous.
That CGI is AMAAAAAAAAZING!!!!! It’s like – the dog is TALKING!!!!!
No but really – how do they do that?????
Films about dogs are banned in The Chateau – especially Marley & Me. Lady W can’t follow what’s going on over all my blubbing.
I guarantee this trailer is a No Blubbing zone.
Tears of laughter, now that’s a different thing altogether.
Whither Songs of Joy?
Yebbut, there’s a dog and a cute couple who love each other but due to a terrible misunderstanding they are going to break up and the dog has gone to heaven but he’s returned and he can talk – A No Blubbing Zone? I’m blubbing already….
This is, sincerely, one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
HUGE fan of the talking animals genre, previously topped by Chevy Chase’s sublime “Karate Dog” (sample Amazon review: “watching this film was like pissing razor blades”). Cannot wait to see where this one lands in the canon.

I liked Chevy Chase when he was drummer for The Chamæleon Church. Well, not exactly liked. Was able to tolerate.
To be fair, that actually looks rather better than Best Friend From Heaven (let’s use BFFH from now on, ‘cos let’s face it, it’s all we’re going to talk about for months now, right?). The makers of Karate Dog must have spent at LEAST another thirty quid or so.
I presume you are aware of Disneys’ “….Buddies” films?
Huge fan.
I’m bang up for a talking animals movie marathon.
It’s Doctor ‘Go Little!
I don’t want to make anyone jealous, but I have seen this trailer on the big screen. It must have been before Blade Runner 2049 because that’s been my only trip to the cinema in months. As you can imagine the film was an anticlimax after this, but I thought that the trailer was worth the ticket price by itself.
Dewwwwd… a talking dog…..
Bricameron saw this….
IN HIS HEAD
Wait…. Kris Kristofferson’s dead?
… and so is Rita Ritacoolidge.
Chaka Chakakhan is thankfully alive and well.
As is Butros Butrosghali.
Not to mention Chim Chimcheree.
Or Yo Yoma.
Or Garry Gary Beers.
Yo momma, she Yo Yo Ma.
Y’know, friends? There are times when this crazy ol'”blog” is just the best damned thing to do with your time.
This isn’t one of them, though. That San Mig’s not going to drink itself.
It’d better, cuz no-one else is gonna drink that shit.
I might be getting over-technical here, but can anybody else see the lip-sync is all over the shop? I’m afraid it is distracting me from the story. How can I be expected to take the film seriously when there is such an obvious clanger?
The trick is to keep your gaze firmly on the deep pools of loveliness that are the mutt’s eyes. That way lies immersion and, dare I say it, belief. You can then focus more closely on Kris’s closing-time slur in which – may I say – he owns, nay! he inhabits, the role of the passed-on pooch.
Allowing it to stray down to the snoutular region the fragile, beautiful illusion is shattered. It’s just some cheaply rendered video of a dog’s gob. You are casting a light on movie magic. And why would you do that? Some things should remain a mystery.
Who cares?
We really have reached peak Afterword* when I can crack a joke referencing another thread entirely, and you come back with the correct punchline.
(*) Or I’ve spent too much time on here and I’ve disappeared up my own fundement.
Why see the film – they just told you the whole story in the trailer – INCLUDING THE ENDING!
A friend of mine told me deadpan that he knows there’s an afterlife because his dog visited him the day after it died; might have to let him know about this cinematic mutt.
It’s not live action, so can’t approach the same level of impressiveness, but how about a dog that lives in Tibet but falls in love with rock n roll? (This trailer only teases the “dogs shooting lasers out of their paws” element , which I am intrigued to learn more about.)
Does the dog play “There She Goes” by the Lhasa?
