Unleashed (2016)

Wonderful Comedy

Saw this film at the Napa Valley Film Festival. It was adorable - funny, charming, quirky - I loved it and so did the audience. Great performances by both the human and animal cast. Emma, an app developer, has been unlucky in love. She adopts a dog and cat and moves to a new city to start over. The pets love Emma but an open door allows the animals to get out. Something unusual happens and the dog and cat must find their way back to Emma and Emma must find herself. Justin Chatwin is perfect as "Diego." Kate Micucci is wonderful as Emma. Sean Astin plays Emma's new friend Carl. The film has so much warmth and is a real feel-good comedy.
