MCT:August 26, 2008I liked this movie.It was cute and funny and I want that dog,lol.My only complaint is about the end...how did the dog get there and what about the girl???
-
MCT:August 10, 2008Tried WAY too hard to be quirky. The dog was cute, though, and the leads had enough chemistry to make this worth watching. The ending was a little abrupt.

What a suprise! Scott Caan builded up his second feature on terrific cast and tight, funny dialogue making us feel as if a couple of friends who work in a movie business got together to record several scenes in which they do what they like to do best, free as birds. The result? Fast-paced, perfect entertainment which doesn't pose to be anything more than it is.

MCT:May 24, 2008Below average talk-only movie - the guy's voice irritated me. Not brainless entertainment, but pointless.

By reading the plot this movie seems as though it might aim to be a comedy, and though this film might have those moments when you laugh or smile, it really isn't a comedy movie. So that's the first thing - if you end up watching this have an open mind and don't expect a comedy because you won't get one.
The movie basically is about this author, Solo, who decides to get a dog that might help him become more comfortable and help him to write easier. But it turns out that everyone wants this dog, and there are people willing to pay good money for him but Solo realises he needs this dog and that he is beginning to like him a lot more. So the plot is basically that everyone wants his dog. Not too bad actually, and he falls in love with a girl he met at the dog park just to top things off.
If it took more of a funny side to the story it might have been more successful, but this was still just as watchable and entertaining. Giovanni Ribisi was brilliant. He is a star and still not well known by many people, he did a fantastic job as the lead role. And director Scott Caan also stared in this movie, and it worked. He was himself I guess and it went with the movie perfectly.
It's not exactly the best movie in the world as you can see by my rating, but still worth watching. Check it out sometime if you are a fan of any of the actors, but as I said, this was maybe more of a drama than comedy. -

Good movie. Slightly predictable, but very funny. Plot relatively original, but the camera work is very traditional.

Giovanni Ribisi always does a great job with "challenged" people. When you want a simple, fun movie to watch some evening, this might be one to consider.

First of all, I think any movie with Giovanni Ribisi is gonna be good, and this doesn't contradict my thought.
It's funny, quirky, and fun to watch. And even tho I don't have a dog, I can understand the attachment,
Mena Suvari's character is quite iobviously patterned after Nicole Ritchie, in a hilarious way ;)
And don;t forget Don Cheadle is in this (his name is Howard, heheh)
Rent this with a bunch of your friends. -

Not a bad movie for Scott Caan's first time writing and directing. Solo is in thearpy and the therapist suggests he buy a pet. Solo buys a dog and realizes that he may not be ready for a dog. When a mobster and a rich socialite try taking his dog he decides that he really wants it.

MCT:September 28, 2007Kinda stupid. Didn't find any humor in it at all. A little T&A but not enough to keep me interested.
-
MCT:September 9, 2007
This should be a comedy, but I didn't laught, more like a drama with a story that's circles around a dog and his effect on people and there lives.
-

A quite decent movie about a guy having some problem in life gets a dog to make his day easier kinda.. The movie are in the comedy genre but i didnt felt it so funny actually but still its a watchable movie.

What a boring ending... Why would I want to watch a movie that I have to guess the ending or make one up? I watch movies to see an entertaining happy ending. I have my own life to figure out how it's going to end...

The cast just clicked. Scott has alot of funny potential. Fuck I love Giovanni, He just comes across as so likeable in all his roles. Pretty funny little tale about a guy and his dog problem.
-

This was a great comedy. A weird ensemble of characters, all very likable. Suberb job by Giovanni Ribisi. And Lynn Collins....Wow!
-

A very smart and funny movie. I was really surprised by how good it was. Scott Caan actually made a really good movie. The acting was really great and fun to watch.
-
MCT:August 26, 2007There is something special about Solo's dog. Everyone seems to want him except his owner. Solo is a lonely loser who doesn't care about himself or anybody else. Will owning a dog really help him? This movie is a bit off-color with the characters being a crap novelist, a best friend who lives like a pornstar, two strippers, a mobster, a rich girl who wants Solo's dog, and a little dog who just wants to be named and loved.

MCT:August 26, 2007This movie looks hilarious! I can't wait to see it. It looks like a very cool story and I love most of the actors in it.

A suprising little treasure that I really enjoyed! It was light and the characters were interesting and funny. I love Giovanni Ribisi and really cannot fault him in any role he plays, he is brilliant and this one was no exception. I think Lynn Collins will be a talent to watch for in the future too. A total delight!

Not a bad show, but listening to Solo (Ribisi) ramble and stumble all over the place with his dialoge is annoying (well to me at least). A 2 1/2 star movie but the dog gives it that added touch.
