Eat Pray Bark takes a familiar self-discovery template and gives it a mildly quirky twist, without leaving an impact.

Annoyingly insubstantial, Eat Pray Bark quickly dissipates from the memory like a Yorkie yip into a blustery gale.

This film is a curiosity and might disappoint kids assuming the movie is about cute furry friends. Most dog-related movies at least have adorable dogs to focus on. Here, the animals are secondary to a bunch of mostly unpleasant and neurotic humans.

Isn’t something that demands attention, but for viewers interested in a gentle distraction partially highlighting the world of canine behavior, this is at least a capably acted feature, and some of the open world locations can’t be beat.
