Puppy Love

A contrivance, but really lovely. Both leads leaned in to their characters' idiosyncrasies, and the story took its time. It's what you want it to be, has an indie feel, and a really great pace. I laughed pretty hard a couple times. If you like rom coms or dogs or just need an escape, I recommend it. (It's making me write more...). Well, I suppose I appreciated the fact that the characters were believable, and the story dealt with relatable issues, like depression, and anxiety and how difficult it can be to step out of your comfort zone or make friends when you're an adult. I hope the folks involved get more work when the SAG AGTRA strike is resolved. Ok, I've written enough.

As a 30 year old male, I'm watching this for Lucy Hale. She's absolutely breath-taking and never fails a performance. Her character Nicole, promiscuous and selfish, is more believable than Max's character.

Max's social anxiety is a thoughtful trait, but his obsessive compulsive nature sort of is a buzzkill. We can see that Max is a recluse who avoids most human interaction, but was he always like that? We know he suffered a bad break up, but it's far fetch to think that causes a drastic personality change for 2 years. There's a gaping hole in his character development in that sense.

The dogs consummating a relationship was sweet. I just didn't feel the two lead actors had chemistry and their relationship lacked flavor and heart.

To tip the scales here, you needed humor. The veterinarian, Max's boss, the random park goer, and the guy with the accent were not funny at all.

I reckon they could not use a different title - it would not be the right ... style! No puns intended here as always. And this is supposed to be a romantic movie - and it is actually. Lucy Hale seems to be right for these kinds of movies and roles. She really is sweet, beautiful and talented enough to carry those movies.

Of course the scripts have to be at least good. And the movies I've seen with her - well she chose wisely I reckon. Of course you have to like these types of movies - makes no sense watching this, if you don't like ... well if you have to watch it, because your partner is into it ... that's a different story. Still try to enjoy it. It's light and fun - and yes predictable ... that never is really an issue here ... add some dogs and you get some more love out of it.

Don't listen to the haters! The show is fun and sweet. I don't know why people have to be so negative. It's actually probably more like an 8, but I gave it a 10 because of the idiots that gave it very low ratings. A 1 star movie is something that looks like it was made in someones basement or something.

Come on people use some common sense... With all the bad movies out right now this one just really hit the spot and made happy. I smiled the whole time. I really felt the chemistry between these two very talented actors. I hope that the low ratings and negative reviews don't keep you from watching this movie. If you want to feel good then check it out. I highly recommend watching this film.

I dont think this a likeable film. I watched because I typically adore films with pups, because I love my dog, but this didn't do it for me. The characters are equally annoying. I'm surprised to see how many people loved it. Not my kind of rom com, I guess. I'm happy others found joy in it though. They obviously worked hard on the project, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has moments that are indeed "cute," as others have said, but the annoying outweighs the positive. I'm normally pretty easy to please. Not a movie buff by any means, but definitely a connoisseur and out of sheer "not wanting to be rude" because people worked hard on it, I gave it a 5-star review. Otherwise, I'd give it less.
