James Plath Family Home Theater This formulaic, straight-as-the-crow-flies romantic comedy can feel plodding and downright dull at times.... Rated: C- Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Predictable romcom has some mild cursing, drug reference. Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2017 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW A surprisingly amusing, bright, feather-light romantic comedy. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 10, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This movie is awful and so unrealistic. Lets talk a crazy homeless dog thief wielding a weapon down with a potty party. Right Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I only watched the movie in it's entirety because I love Labradors. First thing that irked me was that the judge in the movie referred to the pure bred Lab as a mixed breed? Other than that it's just like every other lame Romcom. Terrible and predictable plot. Also many awfully lame scenes that apparently pass as comedy. Just bleh. Cute dog though :) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely ridiculous movie almost saved by a sweet and predictable ending. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I dreaded every second of this movie so I took the effort to make an account to show my dissatisfaction. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very cute movie. Huge fan of Alicia Silverstone! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review brendan n Cute little rom com that covers my favorite subject, dogs. I'm super bias when it comes to dog films and this is no exception. The film is heavily flawed but the dynamic duo make this film work. Funny film with a great cast, I hope to see these guys in a lot more films. This was an odd choice to watch but I'm no regretting by any means. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
