BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Sweetigal85 If you are looking for a heartwarming, feel good comedy, this is the movie for you. It is a simple story but the best stories are the ones that have been done again and again but in different ways.This movie is full of laughs and has plenty of heart. It is very relatable, no matter what age you are. (though I would imagine young children would find this movie incredibly boring) The acting is terrific and the characters are all very lovable. I found John Cusack's character to be particularly charming and I definitely would have given him chance after chance! The one thing I found a little questionable was John Cusack's profession. Seemed a little odd and unbelievable that he could even make his rent/alimony payments if he wasn't making any money with his boats. But maybe it goes without saying that he had another source of income? Overall, this movie was very uplifting and is sure to give those who are feeling down some much needed hope.P.S. Is there a movie out there where Dermot Mulroney DOESN'T play the jerk? LOL I have yet to find one...
Roedy Green I did not enjoy this movie. The big problem was I did not find the lead characters sympathetic. Sarah Nolan (played by Diane Lane) is an absurdly jealous woman who thinks she owns the exclusive attention of every male she has ever flirted with. She is extremely rude to everyone without cause. Oddly, nobody smacks her back. They just completely ignore her vicious tongue. I would prefer she did _not_ find true love and ruin someone's life. There is some predictable humour with various unsuitable dates, and a bit more with various relatives trying to fix her up with people she would not like. Christopher Plummer plays the father, an elderly gentleman worshipped by the ladies. He is charming and fun, especially when he quotes poetry. The ending is telegraphed long in advance, so it feels embarrassingly corny when it finally unfolds. Nothing much happens. There are no memorable scenes. Despite the title, dogs play a very minor role.
kdmode An incredibly weak, predictable, drab and forced comedy. Hollywood loves churning out this contrived and unoriginal garbage. In fact, I'm surprised Jennifer Aniston wasn't in the lead role. It's exactly her kind of movie. A little into the story, I groaned and said said to my fellow viewers "I'll bet they are going to break into a pretend, warm and fuzzy family group-hug song at some point." And guess what? It happened! It was mortifying. It's especially bad when the actors look uncomfortable doing it and you can tell that they know they are filming a sure-fire flop.John Cusack looked like he'd rather be somewhere else - zero chemistry with Diane Lane. It must have been a paycheck for him. Unfortunately, that's happened with a lot of his movies in the past 10 or more years.
Avid Climber Must Love Dogs is for John Cusack fans, because honestly, the story line is kind of boring. Cusack plays his usual philosophical forlorn character with excessive dialogs that we all love. The problem is, that's the only interesting part of the movie. Diane Lane is good, but her characters is very bland, just as every other ones.Everything about the film is kind of average, without spunk or spark. It's the type of chick flick that Hollywood loves to churn out because they know they'll make money. The recipe is tried and true. I've watched it a number of time, so I can say you'll be entertained, but that's about it.You want something simple to pass the evening away without being disappointed, this could be it for you.
