Remember what I was saying at the beginning of the year
about how 2018 was the year of getting our shit together? Well, we’re barely
into March and I’m already seeing signs that that progression isn’t lasting. I
mean, nothing says "we’ve learnt nothing" more than taking one of the more
misguided releases of 2017, A Dog’s Breakfast Purpose, and deciding that
it needed not one but two follow-ups
this year. Both adapted from the writer of the original source material at
that, with the sequel to Purpose coming out later this year, and a separate
adaptation in cinemas right now. Knowing my now-prominent axe to grind when it
comes to talking animal movies, and my position that Purpose is awful in its
own special way, I can’t say I’m expecting a lot out of this one. Thankfully,
this film didn’t go below my expectations; if anything, this turned out better
than it had any right to.
