Everything Puppies

To heck with the naysayers. I found the movie to be entertaining and uplifting. Take away my man-card if you want, but I've watched hundreds of hours of Hallmark movies with my wife over the years, and I've got to say, I thought this one not a bad movie.

Sure, the women could have been more professional when they received the first order, but what's the big deal? It's a classic story of David vs. Goliath woven with a three act love story ending with a happily ever after.

Did I expect the production quality to be up there with Gone with the Wind? Or course not. But I thought the actors did a good job overall.

As with many Hallmarks movies, this one has a poor script so it was flawed from the start. Steve Huszar is a known quantity, he's been in many Hallmark movies and he's a good and reliable actor. The lead actress is always the star, but casting Pascal Lamothe-Kipnes was a huge mistake, she's terrible as is the director for not getting a better performance from her.

Puppies are always an attention grabber in movies, but they weren't enough to salvage this film. As always Hallmark locations are great and I've always appreciated their positive movies, but some are better than others. Overall their quality is much better than Real One Entertainment and Nicely films, they are still the gold standard for mass produced rom-coms.

...and I'm a woman. They are so completely unprofessional. Screeching and giggling when they get an order from the pet food store right in front of the person giving them the order.

Hallmark - have you gotten new writers recently? This is the second review in a row of your new movies that I've written that is negative because of the way the women are portrayed.

I agree with the other reviewers in that I don't expect serious movies from Hallmark, but can we at least make the women not seem like complete idiots?

And my husband's contribution: "This is not on my list of the top 1,000 Hallmark movies."

I am a fan of Hallmark and this one is a legit winner. It's funny, sweet, cozy, and special. The two main leads are awesome. The head Pup Chuck guy is also tremendous, what a perfect jerk. The sidekick lady friend Kathryn Davis is always great in her roles, leading or otherwise.

The story starts strong, and the animals are very fluffy and cute. Stephen H and. Pascal L are both excellent in everything but their chemistry in this one was especially strong.

Scarlett's father was particularly excellent and I can't find his name, but he was sweet with very kind eyes.

If you're into Hallmark movies, watch this one. If you like dogs, watch. If you just want to feel good and see some upstart kids stick it to the man, watch this. Have fun.

I feel that Stephen's talent was wasted with this movie. Pascal Lamothe-Kipnes is lacking, I'm not sure if it was chemistry between her and Stephen or she is just that bad at portraying this particular character. Trying to mix comedy with sexual harassment in the workplace didn't sit well with me and is very surprising to me that Hallmark didn't think this through. The lack of "puppies" was very disappointing as well, yes there was some dogs, but very little scenes with puppies. This is movie was so bad that I actually created an account to leave a review and I was curious what others had to say as well.
