The best part of Puppy Love may be its double entendre marketing tagline: “One bone can change everything.”

Gustin and Hale have strong chemistry that belies their uncompelling characters, although the film’s writing and directing have a kind of forced quality that doesn’t allow them to develop their chemistry to its fullest.

There was no newness in it. I was hoping for more vulnerability in the characters, more drama and more layers which didn’t happen. The story was just too predictable.

Rated: 2.5/5

An adorable romantic comedy that, while predictable, is still a whole lot of fun. Great chemistry with both the human and canine leads makes it believable and charming.

Directed by Nick Fabiano and Richard Alan Reid, Puppy Love ultimately falls short of expectations, relying primarily on the lead performances and the appeal of the puppy love story to maintain viewers' interest.

Ok so half of this movie works half of it doesn’t Tv stars Lucy Hale and Grant Gustin star as Nicole and Max Two people whom have had difficulty connecting with others and building walls remaining closed off Then they decide to give dating a chance, they match on an app for dog lovers But Max is very timid and socially distant worrying about hygiene while Lucy refuses to let anyone in since her father died The more time they spend together as well as their pets things start changing for better or worse These two leads are really spectacular together but the movie often gets bogged down by their constant bickering and opposing views on how life works particularly romance It could look more colorful too The story is from dozens of other rom coms and Jane Seymour as Nicole’s mother is hardly likable But when it gets to the third act it does start to get better Overall it’s moderate if you’re willing to get past the characters going for each others throats for most of it

Very cute movie. If you are up for a romcom that is easy to watch, this movie is for you. Is it predictable? Yes, but it's worth a watch

This movie was so cringey that I couldn’t watch it in one sitting. It at some points genuinely made me feel ill. I was blown away when I saw that people gave this movie good reviews. I love romance and cutesy movies, they are my favourites, but I couldn’t with this one. The montage at the end was the best part however I love all montages.

Even if it's predicable, it has enough charm and relativility to be an enjojable watch, unless You expect a masterpiece
