Beautiful, moving film.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This was fairly funny and well written, in a writerly sense, but what was supposed to be the emotional turn at the end didn't land for me because of the scripts, the movies, woman problem. So World War III just happened and the world's population and society as a whole were decimated, not to mention the fact that there aren't many women around to have sex with. And that's were Don Johnson comes in, or doesn't come in. With the help of his trusty dog, who he plies with food, he goes around looking for a woman to bang. He eventually finds one...and that leads to some unexpected consequences. Don Johnson is good in his seedy main role, and the dog steals the show. It has some novel scenes and fresh interplay between the Don and the Dog. Overall, the movie is witty and has some fun moments...but that's where the good words end...You can't have your lead character treat woman as only sex objects and then ask me to believe that he had any sort of relationship with the main female character. I didn't buy for a second that the girl had any emotional investment in him, nor did I believe that he ever saw her as anything more than a pin cushion, as nothing he did spoke to the contrary. So the notion that his relationship with his dog in any way grew thanks to the "relationship" with the woman was asinine. That brings me to what this movie was really about. An exercise in woman hating...and ultimately, that they're beneath dogs (and if you've seen the movie, you know what I mean). Other than that, there wasn't much else doing in this movie. It had a very small cast and very thin plot. The theme, as it were, sucked. It didn't work and along with the treatment of women sucked, there goes that word again, most of the enjoyment out of what was otherwise a decent little character driven post apocalyptic sci-fi movie.I've nothing against cruel and mean spirited movies, even if they aren't witty like this film is, as long as they have something to say. This film has nothing worthwhile to say, nothing defensible to argue for. It's just misogynist lit porn brought to film.

It is a very dark film. It's also a very funny film. It is a very political and very satirical film. It's a very brutal film. And it's also pure magic. See it. Now. I hate films with speaking animals in lead roles. But this one is so different, so out there, so on spot in its bleak message.

Adapted from a short story by legendary sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison, A BOY AND HIS DOG is about a young man, named Vic, and his intelligent telepathic dog, named Blood. Together, they scout around in a post-apocalyptic desert. Scavenging for food and (maybe even more important for Vic) women. Vic's almost-insane single-minded pursuit of sex leads him at times to get into more than a few scrapes. Along the way, we're also introduced to a variety of odd characters. One of which, a self-appointed leader in animal skins and leather, forces his minions to pull him along on a hilariously large cart. Hmm, I wonder if the makers of Mad Max borrowed some ideas from this character?! Anyway, he then proceeds to have them dig for a hidden cache of food. At some point, Vic does in fact find a girl. But things don't turn out as expected, when she ropes him into a bizarre scheme to return to her underworld kingdom. The plot is at times hard to follow. That, combined with a general sense of weirdness and a somewhat chauvinistic attitude toward women, guaranteed that the film wouldn't be accepted by everyone. But it more than earns its cult status. The ending, while I won't give it away, does live up to the title.

Not "may" contain spoilers, this review has THE spoiler. And many other spoilers. Read at own risk.Definitely an interesting movie. I watched this with a friend and we have a habit of making fun of a lot of little things, but there wasn't much to poke at in this one. It felt like it portrayed a post-apocalyptic Earth pretty accurately, what with the main character literally caring for nothing more than just food and sex. Something I think is notable to point out is the fashion sense of the citizens of Downunder. I mean, they literally have clown makeup on. I'm not afraid of clowns myself, but I can imagine how immensely terrifying it would be to be abducted and then imprisoned by the manifestation on your worst nightmare. Also as a side note, that crazy fashion sense makes me think of it as "The Hunger Games" before its time. But the biggest impact this movie had definitely needs to be attributed to the ending. My friend and I were just sitting there saying to each other "Aw, the dog's gonna die but it's fine he's got a girl to keep him company now." And then all of a sudden we went silent and just started shouting "NO. NOOOOOO. WHAT. NO WAY." Not only was the twist completely unexpected, but the delivery was amazing. There was no way that we thought that the demented teenage rapist was going to feed his brand new girlfriend to his dog. Though in hindsight it seems like there was a high chance that they would find some way to keep the dog alive.Overall, I gave it a 7 on a pretty biased scale. I didn't connect very well to Vic. I mean, I can see what his motivations are and what he does to get what he wants, but I wasn't able to really sympathize with who he was. None of the characters really connected to me and for me, that's a pretty big deal. However, it is worth mentioning that I went into this movie expecting a 1 and some laughs and came out with a 7 and "At least she had good taste."
