Mi Perro Estúpido

Yvan Attal did a good job with this one, both as the director and as an actor. Charlotte Gainsbourg made me realize I'm getting old. Having known her since being the little daughter of Serge Gainsbourg to a mature good actress, many years passed by since then. Mon Chien Stupide (or My Dog Stupid for the English title) is a good dramady, easy to watch, and entertaining enough, certainly for this genre. Melancholy, difficult parenthood, existential life answers and questions, and a dog, those are the ingredients. The acting was good and that from the whole cast, even the big Mastiff. Good cinematography too, a movie with nothing really bad to write about. Don't expect anything fast paced though, it's mostly conversations between family members, the daily family arguments, but it's sometimes emotional and recognizable. Worth a watch.

Excellent film. Completely different from what I expected. Maybe hit too close to home. I was thinking comedy. It had very funny moments, but the overall film, was real life. Family. Expectations. Disappointments. Love.

Wonderful and endearing black comedy. Great movie to watch with young adults. Very well directed by actor/director Yvan Attal. Wife and superb actress Charlotte Gainsbourg does a great job too. Just a great example of life, family and enduring through it.

This movie made me L. O. L. And that's RARE! The interactions between 'Stupid' and the family members should strike a chord w all animal lovers.

Enjoy!

I enjoyed this movie, but I do think it is geared toward middle age or older adults. There are some light hearted moments and a few moments that made me laugh a little. The scenes with the dog were good. I wouldn't truly call it a comedy and the drama wasn't too heavy(it didn't make me cry, cringe or cheer). I can see how some viewers found it boring, but I could understand where all the characters were coming from, and I also enjoyed a lot of the dialogue which made me enjoy the movie.
