Qui garde le chien?

I actually had a typo when I first wrote the summary line - it said/spelled god instead of dog ... same difference right? At least for any dog lover for sure. That and the Bahamen song aside (it will remain in the publics eye I beliebe), the movie certainly knows who (no pun intended) it targets.

The very first frame is quite aware of that ... but even if you didn't know this is about a dog you'd know that this is about something more than a regular kid the two main characters have a talk with .. funny at times and flawed too, this will either warm your heart or annoy you.

I like Alicia Silverstone, and she's adorable in this movie. Yet, it still was not very enjoyable for me. The acting was below average which made it very difficult for me to get into it. Basically, the entire movie is centered around a couples breakup and their debate over "who gets the dog?" Not the title didn't already tell you that, but really, that's it! The dog gets depressed because he is recognizing the change that is occurring in his life. Although I like the presence of mean green juice (promoting a healthy diet) I just can't give this movie a high rating. It's cringe worthy. You know when the acting is really THAT bad your body cringes? Well I cringed multiple times. It would've been A LOT better as a comedy. A real comedy! One that makes you pee yourself you laugh so hard comedy. I'm not at all pleased. The ending is even worse than the movie. More and more movies are starting to end that way. A few of you might enjoy it, but if you're highly critical of the films you watch, prepare to give an extremely detailed review on how awful this film was. That is, if you watch the entire thing.

This isn't going to win an Oscar or an Emmy but I really enjoyed it. It's a silly funny movie. Nothing to take to serious. It's been years since I've seen Alicia Silverstone. If your going in expecting to be wowed you might be disappointed. It's about two people who are splitting up and who both really love their dog. Who gets dog. And it's nice to see Ryan Kwanten in something else besides true blood. They both do well in the movie. If you've watched Marley and Me with Owen Wilson and Jennifier Aniston and you liked it. Then it's a good indication you'll like this one as well. For what it is... I think it's a good movie. You'll walk away from this feeling good.

This movie is about interpersonal relationships between people, like most "dog" movies

there is not that much footage of the dog, and it's not that funny of a movie, lots of serious drama stuff with some humor. Even the humor parts are interwoven into the drama scenes

Its tough to find dog movies which focus on dogs, this movie is not one of those

This is very much a straight to DVD/dogs dinner of a romantic comedy.

It's a shame because Alicia Silverstone is a fine comedic actress who never really seems like she's lived up to her undoubted potential, and Ryan Kwanten (who will always be Vinny from 'Home and Away' to me) is likable too.

Ultimately it all comes down as it always does to the script and unfortunately this is not a good one. It doesn't help that the leads don't have much chemistry either.

It's a romantic comedy mixed with some 'Marley and Me' elements, and all in all it just ends up being a passable but rather dull outing.
