Puppy Love

I dont think this a likeable film. I watched because I typically adore films with pups, because I love my dog, but this didn't do it for me. The characters are equally annoying. I'm surprised to see how many people loved it. Not my kind of rom com, I guess. I'm happy others found joy in it though. They obviously worked hard on the project, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has moments that are indeed "cute," as others have said, but the annoying outweighs the positive. I'm normally pretty easy to please. Not a movie buff by any means, but definitely a connoisseur and out of sheer "not wanting to be rude" because people worked hard on it, I gave it a 5-star review. Otherwise, I'd give it less.

Don't listen to the haters! The show is fun and sweet. I don't know why people have to be so negative. It's actually probably more like an 8, but I gave it a 10 because of the idiots that gave it very low ratings. A 1 star movie is something that looks like it was made in someones basement or something.

Come on people use some common sense... With all the bad movies out right now this one just really hit the spot and made happy. I smiled the whole time. I really felt the chemistry between these two very talented actors. I hope that the low ratings and negative reviews don't keep you from watching this movie. If you want to feel good then check it out. I highly recommend watching this film.

Lucy Hale is a phenomenal actress and I loved her in The Hating Game, which is how I know she can do romantic comedies. I also love dogs, but this rom-com was kind of a miss for me. I was surprised to see Jane Seymour and Michael Hitchcock in such a lightweight film.

This is the story of Nicole (Lucy Hale), a home stager wannabe artist who is kind of a hot mess. When she sees a stray dog outside of her apartment building, she takes him in...and takes him with her on a first "meet up" with Max, who she met on-line. Max is a germ-o-phobe shut in, who is on the verge of loosing his tech job because he just can't return to the office. These two are like oil and water...except they really aren't. The dogs, however, get along a little too well. When Max's dog ends up pregnant, these two have to put their differences aside in order to get along and be co-grandparents.

The actors were likable, the premise was decent...what really let me down was the writing. This lacked the tension of your typical hate to love (possibly my favorite romantic genre). If you really want to see a good example I recommend checking out The Hating Game, either way... I encourage you to give this a pass unless there is nothing else on.

My final observation, as a Seattle native, is that this film is definitely not set or filmed in Seattle. There are plenty of examples I can cite...the biggest two are that our local health ratings do not have an "A", they are excellent, good, etc. And a visual...that is definitely NOT Discovery Park, we don't have that kind of dessert in Seattle nor does it have a land mass view across the water.

This was so, so freaking cute. I thought the depiction of anxiety in the guy was accurate, relatable and kinda refreshing for a rom com - I feel like you don't normally see that in rom coms. I am easy to please with movies, especially love stories, so take this review with a grain of salt. But it made me happy and teary and ready to get back on the dating apps again. Some extremely funny lines in the script. The doggos are adorable, especially Chloe but I may be biased because Cavalier spaniels are my fav dog breed. Just an overall very cute watch and Grant Gustin is very handsome too so that helps.

I watched for Lucy Hale.

Grant got really big and I barely recognized him from the Flash! And while he was given a fidgety character, he is somehow charming in it and makes it work. Overall, no part is annoying (though parts are right on the line of weirdly fun and skippable, like the ASMR restaurant or the "Doggie Lamaze" scenes), is decently written, properly executed and well shot! Though some stuff feels superficial.. Additionally, the rest of the cast is quite likeable and some of the characters are even fun.

Overall, a watchable romance story with lots of dog-themed scenes that help a couple get together.. when they would otherwise not even have the chance. Pets work, people! Pets work.
