Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Inasmuch As This is my first review. Warning: Do not see this movie.Children should not be allowed to see this movie! There is enough liberal claptrap in movies, TV, education and life and it is especially annoying to see it pushed at children. This movie is rated PG. It is listed as a comedy. It is not funny. There isn't one laugh in it. I can't imagine how an actor as good as Brad Pitt became involved.The best thing we can say about the movie is it has a lot of cute dogs. That is not enough reason to watch the movie unless you turn the sound off.A lonely middle aged woman is unhappy. She is unhappy in her job, doesn't have a boyfriend and then Pencil, the Beagle dog she loves dearly, dies from poisoning. Following that she makes decisions so poor that she should be a candidate for a mental institution. She becomes an animal rights activist akin to those that in real life the FBI has profiled as animal rights terrorists. She makes unrealistic choices which are supposed to be funny but aren't and rather than feel sympathy towards her, you think, "Well, that was dumb!" This whole movie is a propaganda piece for PETA. The best place for it is in the trash. That is where we put our copy.

digitalangelfood I am an avid animal lover and movie buff. I watched the movie because of the cast (John C. And Molly Shannon) and the fact that it was labeled a comedy. It isn't a comedy; not even a dark comedy. But that was no big shock as IMDb slaps "comedy" genre on almost every movie. Even if you love dogs, you won't enjoy this movie. As a matter of fact, it is in no way "heartwarming" and I struggle to find a reason anyone would like this movie.The movie was very slow and the plot was weak. It was very anti-climatic and when the credits started to roll at the end of the movie I was left frustrated. I even tried to find some sort of deeper meaning or literary value but there is nothing to find in this movie. There is nothing interesting in this movie. What is the point of a movie if the story is boring and goes nowhere? Poor Molly makes the worst choices in the roles that she chooses.

Patricia Doscher This movie has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I watched it on Netflix and they said it was a comedy. Well, it wasn't. I laughed at the one part where she had 15 dogs in her car and that was it. She became insane the more she seemed to "like" animals. She didn't really take care of them. She let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, this movie was a complete waste of my time. Don't waste your time on it. I expected more from Molly Shannon. I expected something smart and funny and all I got was dumb and boring and weird. There was nothing good about this movie. It was a strange movie and at the end, I was like "is that it?"

writer2565 A movie that has three dogs dying in the first hour cannot be called a comedy. Whoever believes that's funny needs to get out of the advertising business or capitalism really is doomed. If I had thought this was a drama, I might have been prepared. Instead, I'm writing this review. "Terms of Endearment" was called a comedy, too. It's a shame that potentially good movies have to be billed as "comedies," setting audiences up to expect a good laugh. The only thing funny in this film were the overly-fake boobs of the blonde at Victoria's Secret. I don't believe in wearing fur, I do believe in rescuing animals, and in fact have been in every situation that was described in this film, so it's not like I don't have any experience with the subject matter. I have a rescue dog that bites me and I have no intention of having it euthanized. Billing euthanasia as comedy relief is either an attempt to exploit the animals the film portrays or it's a product of a sick, twisted culture that has reached the bottom of the barrel for something funny. I'm ready to say bring back the Keystone Cops if this is the best Hollywood can do for funny -- cause this ain't. Make any kind of film you want -- just don't label it as funny when it isn't.
