    I got beyond the reincarnation issue (which actually provides a good teachable moment), and I found this movie thought-provoking. The movie has a twist that makes it more than just another empathize with the talking animals movie. My only complaint was that the pace lags at times. But otherwise I recommend renting this movie, but I didn't like it enough to consider buying it.

    Ok, if you are the type of person who sits in front of the TV and analyzes whether the plot is scientifically possible, you are obviously going to find this movie unrealistic. The movie involves a businessman who reincarnates into a dog. If you can get beyond this point and just enjoy the movie with an open mind, this movie is absolutely entertaining with a great lesson as well. Both adults and kids will like this.
