Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for adventure fans and families. If you loved A Monster Calls or Stand by Me, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

Workaholic Thomas Johnson dies in an auto accident and reincarnates as a dog. Remembering some of his previous being, he returns to his wife and son to protect them from the man who caused his accident. But, as time goes by, his memories return, and Thomas realizes he wasn't such a good husband and father.
