Everything Puppies

...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."

What attracted me to 'Everything Puppies' was its title. I love dogs!! Being a Hallmark movie, it is cheesy, but that's what you expect from Hallmark - and I'm not being critical by saying it. They are cheesy, but they're feel-good movies serving as lighthearted entertainment. This is what I expected going into the movie. And I wasn't disappointed.

'Everything Puppies' is a cute little movie and the puppies are adorable! Ok, so they're not given all that much screen time and the movie doesn't actually revolve around the puppies. The story is about Scarlett, an entrepreneur who designs dog toys, and makes healthy dog treats. Together with her friend Gina they start Puppy Palate.

Getting into the corporate world is tough, as they soon realize. Then they meet Alex - general manager of a Paws and Wellness Emporium store, who decides to give them a chance. Oh, Alex! Stephen Huszar stars as Alex, and he is a handsome hunk of a man with a great body!

Erm, before I get sidetracked here, the film follows the business relationship between Scarlett and Alex, which predictably transforms into a romance. Off course, there are obstacles challenging their relationship, but I really enjoyed Alex as a sincere and very likeable character. I must be honest, I didn't always find Scarlett all that likeable and even questioned her reasoning and actions at times. The film in general is not realistic, but then again, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

Well, if the characters doesn't always leave you smiling, the puppies certainly will! I do think 'Everything Puppies' will appeal more to the female demographic (chick flick), but it served its purpose for what I was in the mood for at the time.

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.

I was under the false impression that this movie would have a lot more puppies, puppy products, and a love story somewhere there in. Instead, there was a disappointing focus on the "business" of selling puppies (which is distasteful in the way it was portrayed), a company selling only a single dog treat, and a David vs Goliath business feud.

The love story here was lackluster and left me questioning which love interest would have been better for him in the end after all. I am not sure if it was a lack of chemistry or the way their relationship was portrayed within the plot but it missed the mark. Overall the movie was watchable but fell a bit flat.
