David Jenkins Time Out 01/05/2010
2/5
Tonally, the film is a shambles, clumsily veering from cheeky romance one minute, to crass 'that bloke just spunked on my windscreen!' japery the next. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/05/2010
2/5
A feeble smut-fest of impressive tonal weirdness, which had me sniggering with it, at it, and in spite of myself. Go to Full Review
Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 01/05/2010
1/5
Sordid, squelchy, bare-bottomed comedy is still the order of the day. And pretty feeble it is, too. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 01/05/2010
I don't know how much Newcastle Brown you'd need to put back to make this film tolerable. Go to Full Review
Tim Evans Sky Cinema 01/05/2010
2/5
A premise this barking was never really going to work - Heppell and Treadaway's romance plays out like a Byker Grove tryst relocated to a Hartlepool knocking shop - and some of the all-too-authentic night vision scenes will struggle to find an audience. Go to Full Review
Jane Crowther Total Film 01/05/2010
2/5
Dogging limps along like a three-legged mutt, neither dirty enough to titillate smut-seekers nor sweet enough to coax rom-com lovers into overlooking the night-vision humping. Go to Full Review

10/15/2013 This is never going to get a big audience and it does seem absolutely barking mad it ever got made... but having said that it has some genuinely moving, funny and crude moments. The trainspotterish guys taking notes and always talking about car fittings... Probably not a date movie nor one to take your mother to... but I laughed... See more 10/14/2013 Very, very silly, gratuitous and sordid. If it was meant to be a comedy, it wasn't funny. See more 11/08/2011 Not as unique as Sleeping Dogs Lie but a unique romantic comedy.A couple times I just wanted to turn it off because it got boring in parts but I just could not do it ( I wonder why....) I think it's worth watching at least once but not more then once See more 02/19/2011 I quite enjoyed this movie, funny, suspense, story lines a little bid different but overall the story kept you wanting to keep watching. Amazing what a bit of kinky sex will do, in this instance it sorted everything out lol.... See more 11/14/2010 Out of the ordinary mockumentary that keeps the audience guessing what is going on... And most importantly: how would all end??!! See more 05/13/2010 saw this awhile back, "do you wanna go to the dog park?" derived from the term 'walking the dog', evolved from people taking their dogs for walks and stumbling across couples at it in bushes http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dogging Dogging is a British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place (typically a secluded car park in a car) and then watching others doing so. Frequently, there are more than two participants; both group sex and gang banging can be included. As observation is encouraged, voyeurism and exhibitionism are closely associated with dogging. The two sets of people involved often meet either randomly or (increasingly) arrange to meet-up beforehand over the Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogging_(sexual_slang) http://stagevu.com/video/wfnmhikwclis or http://stagevu.com/video/mframxdhjdaq See more Read all reviews
