Overtly Christian Religious + Very Sentimental Drama about a Stray Dog - The Stray review by PV
This film is NOT awful and I liked the Cat Stevens reference.
But my word, it's schmaltzy, saccharine, sentimental, tear-jerking stuff. So if you like a good cry and slush, you'll love this.
Personally, I always hate overtly religious references in movies and this film is stuffed full of it, which made me cringe. But no doubt will go down well will American audiences.
But hey, it's not awful and I have seen and read worse animal stories.
And good music so 2 stars.
Watch to the end to see the real stray dog and family - because this is based on a real early 90s story, apparently.

SPOILER ALERT - The Stray review by JD
Spoiler alert.
Do not let any young children watch this American movie.
Despite it being packed with awful American kids ( as usual ) the poor dog is struck dead by lightening !
The movie “ The dogs purpose” was excellent, this one is mawkish, sentimental, religious, rubbish.
Only the Americans could sacrifice a lovely stray dog just so the male lead could “ find himself” .
Don’t bother with this poor movie.
