Year of the Dog
Year of the Dog's trailer is a bald faced lie. It paints the film as a sweet, funny rom-com featuring Molly Shannon's previously unsociable Peggy emerging from her shell when her dog dies and being pursued by odd neighbour John C Reilly and nice vet Peter Sarsgaard. That would have been better than the muddle this film actually is.
It does start out funny with a good performance from Shannon and brilliant support from Reilly and from Laura Dern as the world's most neurotic parent but once Sarsgaard enters the picture and his character makes Shannon's an animal activist the film falls apart. The big problem is that Peggy becomes less likeable with each passing scene, he...
If someone took you to see A Mike White Film, your expectations might range from the iconoclastic, Chuck and Buck, to the quirkily mainstream, School of Rock. With The Good Girl, Orange County and Nacho Libre falling somewhere in between on the scale of provocativeness, White is one of the few contemporary screenwriters with a strong enough voice to persist through a variety of directors.
That said, the unfiltered White makes his directing debut with Year of the Dog, a scruffy personal comedy about a woman whose devotion to her dog leads to profound changes in her life. With pathos competing equally against the often pungent laughs for the audience's attention, ...
Utter dog poo!
Why did I rent this? Complete waste of an hour and half. And this is coming from a dog lover. Complete drivvel.

this movie was such a pleasant surprise.. i definitely cannot relate to peggy's love for animals(dogs in particular), but the philosophy she and newt believe in is true.. you shouldn't eat an animal you wouldn't kill.. i'm a vegetarian.. and it's not like i starve..lol.. it's exactly the opposite actually.. anyway people who say they love animals and continue eating meat are kidding themselves.. pigs, cows and chickens are animals too.. just because they don't have, to quote Pulp Fiction,a dog's "personality", it dosen't mean it's justifiable to kill and eat them, whatever the method of administering death.. i like this film because it addresses the cruelty to farm animals, whose slaughtering, people are conviniently oblivious to..
of course if an insect is bothering you, squish it, by all means.. lol..
molly shannon was pitch perfect in this movie..she's the kind of actress who can alternate between, being wickedly funny and shyly endearing.. i really hope she does more dramedies like this..
this movie had a good plot and funny parts i just felt like it kinda draged on a little bit like there were some parts that shouldnt have been in it. but it was pretty good overall
