Saw a couple recently.
Wonder - a feel good movie. I'm happy they showed different kids' perspectives with their individual ups and downs and how they were all tied into the main character. Decent acting. 9/10
A Dog's Purpose - pretty sappy, but it was OK overall. I felt a general disconnect with the three lifetimes in the middle; I get that they were needed to move the story along to come back full circle but I don't know why there was that special bond with Ethan. I don't want to give too much away, but I'm curious what you guys think. 6/10
I didn't ask them, but I think my kids liked the dog movie more. they both had tears in their eyes. I think that is because at this age yet it is easier for them to feel more empathetic with a dog than a person...and maybe its because we have a dog. who knows. maybe I'm totally wrong.

The first movie I remember crying during was Chips the War Dog (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099262/), a Disney movie about this dog and his trainer and their unit in WWII. [spoiler]The dog saves a bunch of lives and gets a bunch of medals but then, it turns out dogs can't get medals so they get taken away but the other soldiers in the unit pin their medals on the dog[/spoiler] and I remember being like 12 and bawling. I recall thinking, "why am I crying, its a movie!" That wasn't the last movie I cried watching, but it was the first.

I cry during 68% of the movies I watch.

I can't watch realistic war movies anymore. Even some action movies get me. For example, the helicopter sacrifice in London has Fallen got me.
