Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

mrstevehesterman This movie and producers and all that partook in the making of this movie should be banned from all TV movie formats foreverrrr! The Movie starts out sorta quirky & fun, but ends all too graphically with the star wiener dog being purposely run over by several trucks and cars over and over... displaying their doggy star... ending up a red bloody gutted dead run over puddle of a bloody mess in the middle of the road... and run over several multiple times! This is not acceptable!!! And this movie was listed in Amazon's Kids/Family venue, like we want our kids to see that!!! My wife and I were sickened seeing this! I say everyone should boycott Amazon, Netflix, or anyone who offers this despicable movie! I say forever ban every actor who participated!

ashleydegeorge I love dachshund with all my heart. I recently watched Wiener Dog Nationals which, while it was not amazing, was not bad. It starred the dachshund and had a happy ending. This movie failed on both fronts. I ordered Wiener Dog Internationals from my public library, and when I got the wrong movie I didn't really care because it was about dachshunds. However, I was shocked. We started with a boy with cancer, who poisoned the dog and was going to put it to sleep. Then the vet stole it and took it on a road trip with a drug addict. At this point, The movie was so bad I had to skip ahead to the end, hoping for some redemption. I then saw an old lady calling for the dachshund, which ran into the road. The movie proceeded to show the viewer the dachshund getting run over three times. This was it for me. I turned off the movie. However, I read another review stating that the dead dachshund was then put on display as artwork. That is beyond disturbing and I have never been more disappointed by a film.

shobanchittuprolu Wiener-Dog (2016): Dachshund will be anyone's least interest in dogs.Its odd short legged long body may not be liked by all.But Todd Solondz gave it a central role in this anthology drama with four stories that are linked by this Wiener-Dog.Plot: We have 4 stories in this.1) Julie Delpy (Dina) and Tracy Letts (Danny) , an uptight, unhappy couple whose young son Remi (Keaton Nigel Cooke) is recovering from cancer is gifted Wiener-Dog.But Dina hates having a dog and even has a feeling that all female dogs will die during their pregnancy.But due to some mishaps,Wiener is sent to vet for euthanasia.2)Dawn (Greta Gerwig), a veterinarian's assistant,saves Wiener and names it Doo dee.She hopes the dachshund is the means by which she might be able to melt the heart of Brandon (Kieran Culkin), whom she knew in grade school as a notorious bully.3) Dave Schmerz (Danny Devito) , a pathetic has-been screenwriter teaching at a film school where the students despise him and his only friend is his dachshund.He uses Wiener for his revenge but his plan backfires.4)Nana, an aging, blind, embittered woman visited by her granddaughter Zoe (Zosia Mamet), a would-be actor and her outrageous conceptual artist boyfriend, Fantasy (Michael Shaw) for money to help for his art collection.Plus Points:1)Plot: Four different dysfunctional stories united by a Wiener dog is a striking subject.2)Story 3: Story of Dave Schmerz is brilliant and I loved it.It is the best part of the movie with brilliant performances and pace.3)Direction: Todd Solondz's direction is unique and odd.But its remarkable.4)Duration: Just 1hr 28 min.Minus Points:1)Story 2: It could have been better but weird performances made it look bad.2)Climax: The extended shot of the dead body of Wiener is so violent and hurting.It could have been avoided.SO,Wiener-Dog is a good one time watch anthology where 3rd Story is best of all.My rating 6.25/10

BlueFairyBlog If you haven't seen anything by Todd Solondz, you have been missing out. Seriously, you have not lived until you have seen the absolutely pitch black comedies that he has directed. Classics such as "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse" have been among my favorites for years, and no these are not films concerning happy people, or the fantasies invoked by the image of a child's toy. Todd Solondz captures a spark of the American consciousness that is both upsetting and completely ridiculous. You hope that these people are not real, that these situations do not impact the daily lives of anyone you truly love and cherish, but they absolutely do.Solondz has been making movies for twenty years but none of them have been as immensely loved as the two I just mentioned. This particular film premiered at Sundance in January and was bought up by IFC and Amazon Studios for VOD release in April. This low key release hasn't lent to great word of mouth, but then again what are you going to say about this film that would make someone willingly watch it? Do you talk about the section where Danny DeVito plays a defeated and morose screen writing professor? The first section that shows the acquisition of the wiener dog and its subsequent sickness via the ingestion of chocolate? (And all the mess that entails) What you should tell people is that it's atmospheric, moody, and self- assured in its stark representations of down and out losers.Solondz films don't show winners. They show people who deserve far worse than they're getting, or people who are so devastatingly wrong in every aspect of their lives that it's embarrassing to watch them just live them. The characters he chose for this film are each unique in a very different way. Julie Delpy's soft spoken mother consistency tries to break bad news to her child about the facts of life by overtly lying to his face. Terrible, inscrutable words form on her lips and flow out of her in a delivery style that is so blunt that it physically hurts.Honestly, if you like weird, this is going to be your favorite film of the year. While it doesn't exaggerate its mood with grand effects or strange settings, it's a film that tells the little person's tale. Grandmothers sometimes don't connect with their offspring. Parents sometimes can't trust their children. Making a spontaneous decision can change big aspects of your life. These are the themes that Solondz focuses on to great effect, and though these are small spaces, they produce a grand film.
