Pic's main problem is that its human story lacks drama; Hachi's the central attraction.

This is the film equivalent of Nice biscuits, or snow globes, or N-Dubz. You're vaguely aware that they exist but you don't know anyone who actually likes them.

Rated: 2/5

London Evening Standard

It(TM)s an extraordinary and touching story but told with too beady an eye on the box-office for comfort - even if you(TM)re a doggy person.

Rated: 2/5

There's not a whole lot going on, it's pretty much just this relationship,between this dog and this man and it's really touching and and beautiful.

We all know Marley & Me is the Citizen Kane of dog movies that can drain all tear ducts. However, this one (also based on a true story) runs an honest, heartbreaking second.

Rated: 3.5/5

The saddest movie ever and there's not even a close 2nd. All dog movies make me cry, but this one sends me far over the edge. Having said ,you will love and appreciate your dog more than ever after seeing this.

For all the people saying “ it’s only about the dog” WHAT IS THE MOVIE CALLED ????? Hachi of course it’s about him and his owner !! Their story if you don’t like it simply don’t watch it! It’s a super sad movie about a true story.. definitely recommend watching it but beware the ending is heart wrenching.

Enserio hace tiempo que no lloro tanto con una película y me llegó tanto al corazón que termine en llanto de solo ver la gran escena donde entre cachorro y papá se vuelven a encontrar me pareció la escena donde cada uno de nosotros es donde nos quebramos, nos rompimos en llanto y en tanto tiempo no había visto una película tan linda dios enserio si quieres llorar un rato solo ve está maravillosa historia por favor
