An underpowered, white-bread sermon on the importance of family and faith.

There is no doubt The Stray has its heart in the right place and that gets it far.

It is a sweet look at a wounded family and how a dog brings them together.

It's a dramatic start for a film that means well, but can't quite make its pieces fit the story it wants to tell.

A family's love for their pet pooch is reciprocated mightily in writer-director Mitch Davis' The Stray, a movie with a gentle spirit and tone shifts that go all over the place.

Easily one of the worst movies ive ever seen. God awful acting with one of the dumbest plots ive ever had to sit through. The dialogue for the children does NOT match their age. The dog dying was in a dumb way and they didnt even care that it died?? Waste of time. Dont show this to your children.

The acting was terrible. Movie goes with the typical cliche guardian angel dog plot. Saw mistakes in the film. If the movie is set in the 90's, then why were there modern cars driving in the background? When the dog dies protecting them, they pretend he doesn't even exist and they just go to sleep without even showing concern for the dog. This movie is so bad that it's funny.

Great family film that is a true stroy about a family and how their dog found them and saved the day. Yes its a tear jerker but the best things in life bring out emotions. The director of this film is the real man Who was struck with lightning and his children wrote this film and composed the music. The dog was trained in only 1 month by Mike and Brandice Brown Performance Animals and he is worth watching it for!
