Hero Dog: The Journey Home

Really poor acting, and even worse survival writing. It's weird how they can mess up such a easy scenario. That said the movie had such a good story I still enjoyed it. Worth the watch if you can get around the poor acting and stupid stuff, James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 3/25/2021.

Had a wonderful time watching this with my little cousins. They especially loved the Dog and the rescue mission aspects of the film. Scenery is lovely. I recommend it for anyone who has a dog and or kids around them.

My family enjoyed this because we spent 90 minutes laughing at how TERRIBLE it was. As one of my sons said, it would have been a really short movie if he had just stayed in the boat. The acting was SO BAD, worse than any Hallmark movie I have ever seen. The main character is supposed to be ex-military but my kids said he obviously went to virtual military school. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

In all honesty the only actor who wasn't wooden and less than amateurish was Chinook. However, the scenery was amazing. There were so many events in this movie that anyone in the woods, even a novice would have known better than to do. A fifth grader probably could have done a better job of writing the actors lines than Richard Boddington (sorry Mr. Boddington). Oh my gosh, between the combination of a terrible script and poor acting the movie just keeps getting worse and worse. However, the scenery is amazing. The trailer definitely does not accurately describe how poorly scripted and acted Hero Dog: The Journey Home really is. I've seen better acting from elementary school children. However, the scenery is amazing!

Movies the entire family can watch are rare. Our family loves these sorts of movies. This movie features a wonderful story with a delightful cast. Nice to finally see a movie portray accurate survival skills, especially how to make fire.
