    Fresh Hilarious Comedy!

    Allan the Dog had me laughing from beginning to end! Sam Daly is outstanding as Matt. I loved the darling Alison Haislip as the dog walker and shared love interest between Sam and Allan. The writing is so fresh, funny, and smart. I highly recommend!!

    Funny funny funny

    I laughed the whole way thru. Colorful language made it even funnier. I like the writers humor. Hope there is another....

    The world needs movies like Allan the Dog

    Allan is hilarious, Sam Daly and Alison Haislip are great in their roles, and it's a sweet story that doesn't take itself too seriously. In a world full of stressors, it's great to see movies like this coming out. Relax and have some fun with this movie!

    Charmingly Funny with and Edge - My Honestly Biased Review

    Steve Wright has an edge - his humor comes through clearly in this screenplay and the cast fit this production perfectly. This real life/puppet combination seems seamless, so much so that at moments I forgot that dogs can't talk (but don't tell Allan).

    If you're expecting a movie with Best Picture potential, I'm not sure you'll find it here. But, if your looking for an entertaining film that holds the blood, sweat and tears of all those involved, you should definitely watch "Allan the Dog".

    I give it 9 stars, but I admit I'm a bit biased. The cast and crew did an awesome job turning Allan into a star.

    Annoying

    In first few minutes you know it's going to be painful watch. Real animals were replaced with hand operated puppet. You can see a puppet show for 10-15 mins but making 90mins movie is torture. It's like a puppet show minus entertainment. Acting wasn't fine from human being but puppets sucks.

    • Trivia
      The portrait of Matt and Allan is the cover art from the movie Step Brothers with their heads photoshopped over Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
    • Goofs
      When Allan is interviewing Ellie and you see a glimpse of his "Protect Against Walker Service (PAWS)" suggested interview questions, item #2 says: If answer is "No," continue to question #2. This could represent a typo on the form leading to an infinite loop OR this could be interpreted that question #2 should be repeated indefinitely until the interviewee admits to being a sociopath. But, if it's not a typo, then there would be no reason to have additional questions beyond #2.
