Dog (2022)

The 45th biggest box office hit of 2022, Dog sees two former Army Rangers paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. Army Ranger Briggs (People’s Choice winner Channing Tatum from Magic Mike) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier's funeral on time. Along the way, they'll drive each other completely crazy, break a handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.

Dog is Tatum’s co-directorial debut, alongside Reid Carolin (the writer behind the Magic Mike films). The film has a 77% critics’ rating and an 89% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, who write, “Dog is as heartwarming as you'd hope, but it also tells a sensitive story about the long road to healing after experiencing the horrors of war.”

Look out for Emmy nominee Jane Adams (Hacks), Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Ethan Suplee (The Wolf of Wall Street), Critics Choice Award nominee Q’orianka Kilcher (Yellowstone), Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy), and WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash (Magic Mike).
