Pretty sweet story that will make you cry like a little bitch.

Lep film. Ganljiv :)

could have been better...

Hachiko: A Dog Waiting at the Station

A very nice and lovely movie about animals! Love it. Richard is great!

Fuck this racebending shit.

Aww, cute dog, isn't it so sad how he mourns some guy's death? That's the extent of this movie's depth. If that's what you're interested in go ahead and watch it, clearly a lot of people like it. Not me, though. It's endlessly sappy with one of the most overbearing and tedious scores I've heard in a long time, relying heavily on cheap sentimentality. The acting is mediocre, the central relationship with Gere and the dog is underdeveloped and the bookends are terrible.How is blind loyalty heroic?

Absolutely loved it! Thought Richard Gere to be just great in this one, but I wouldn't want to forget mentioning all the other performances. I was absolutely grabbed by the sweetness of this story. Me as a dogs lover myself recognised a lot of this film in myself.

27-12-2011, I agree with user 'Johnny Mo': "Hachiko: A Dog Waiting at the Station". I had expected the dog to eat the baby, which would make this movie less cheesy and more interesting.

Badly acted, bad dialogue, bad chemistry. The only thing that saves it from being a complete failure is the story. That damn dog is depressingly loyal.

Piggy-backs emotion totally off of the 'real story'. The 'true' story is a love letter addressed to my very core self, so it'd take something special for me to dislike anything based upon it. Loved making comparisons between the dog and the wife. Didn't see the Mrs waiting around long in the snow and rain! Too long, lots of pointless stuff in it.

According to Rufflesack I have no soul.

Prosta, zrealizowana bez zbednego rozmachu, chwytajaca za serce historia. Nie tylko dla milosnikow psow i lzawych dramatow.

I hate dogs, but this was really very nice. A quality tear-jerker.

Surprised that this got the straight-to-DVD treatment in the US, but it would've likely done just fine as a shorter film (see: Futurama's Jurrasic Bark episode).

A must see if you are a dog owner or dog lover.

[Between sniffles]: Dumb dog...!

A beautiful tale about a friendchip between a human and a dog, that even outlive the death.A wonderful but sad movie that has it´s heart on the right place.

Hallström is as cheesy as ever, and even the dog isn't that cute.

A pretty decent movie. Not a masterpiece, but it is much better than Marley and Me, for example.

I had cried a lot untill I've wanted a similar dog.

The dog is really cute, but I've become tired of watching him. Too long!

Maybe a tad too long, but come on, this is an incredibly touching story.

It's a sentimental remake of the original Hachiko story from Japan. Not a bad remake to be honest as it captures the spirit of the original story and Hachiko is a pretty universal story for dog lovers around the world. Richard Gere is completely believable and likable in his role as the professor. It's still a remake though and not anything terribly special although it is very heartwarming. The rest of the cast turns in decent performances as well.

Rated G for Gratuitous Sadness. If you don't tear up you're either some kinda robot or just a real cold-hearted bastard.

Bir kopekle bir adamin hikayesi, kimine gore vurucu kimine goreyse can sikici. Basyapit degil ama seyredilmeli.

I haven't cried like this in my whole life...

If you can watch this and not find it touching you have no soul. Bit long, maybe, but it's worth sitting through all the buildup to experience the end. I'm not even a dog person, and I'm fairly certain that had I seen this at the cinema I would have wept.

It might be touching near the end, but that doesn't make it a good film. Cut 50 minutes and it would have been decent.

This well-acted and well-photographed film has a big heart which - when it breaks - will break your heart as well. It is a sentimental film, sure, but in contrast to the despicable *Marley and Me*, *Hachi* earns its tears. I am a cat-person, not a dog lover, but I really liked this film. It is for all people who have loved an animal and been loved in return.
