Audience Member Watching this movie is not a decision I was Wrestling With for long. I certainly do not Wregret it in the least. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The best part of the movie is the magic of wrestling. The wrestling with love, social responsibility, family and living your dream. I laughed out loud and made sure I paid close attention to the business of life! Comedy with a message. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved this film!!!! The Japanese elements were so unique. So many great little pieces of authenticity, + some hysterical moments, delightful dog bits, and a very powerful story about a girl trapped in her own life. This has all the makings of a really fun cult classic. I would love to see a theatre of people watching dressed up like the characters. so fun! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it. Was reminded of Jon Demme (Something Wild), Fellini, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Quirky, heartfelt. Just a lovely, refreshing well made breath of fresh air. Rosalie Thomass as the daughter breaking free from the grip of her oppressive father is magnetic. Matt Bloom is so likable. You root for them the entire way. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The Dog Wedding is an intelligent and funny romantic comedy about a wrestler who meets a German pickle factory owner in the dog run. He suggests the dogs get married. What ensues is an engaging story of romance, an overbearing father and a pickle factory experiencing a corporate takeover. It made me laugh and even cry. The very concept of an enormous American wrestler getting together with a German pickle entrepreneur coupled with their bulldogs is downright amusing. The cinematography was beautiful. The acting by both professionals and everyday people was outstanding. It is a wholesome movie with a point of view. There were some scenes in the desert.that reminded me of Antonioni. Kudos to the director for that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Do you need a laugh or some cheering up? This is one of those charming offbeat heartwarming romantic comedies that wouldn't surprise me if over time became a cult classic. Now just the thought of the mixture of a bulldogs in love, a wedding, pickles, wrestlers, German entrepreneurs, and a subtle homage to the avant-garde film images of the 60's and 70's makes me laugh. This is not the end of the quirkiness. The cast is a blend of actors and non actors with good chemistry sprinkled with great music and remarkable Japanese musicians and an Arizonian backdrop that all comes surprisingly together. Maybe I'm just sentimental but the storey even brings you to a happy tear ending. I have to say that Matt Bloom as one of the leads was wonderful and you can't say enough good things about Rosalie Thomass. Special recognition should go to writers and director who made this work. I love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
