Love at First Bark

Great chemistry between Jana Kramer and Kevin McGarry which makes this a fun way to spend some time. I am selfish with my time and for entertainment would rather watch something fun, happy and uplifting. This fits the bill and so enjoy adding dogs to the relationships.

If you're a fan of Hallmark movies, this will not disappoint you.

Julie, an interior designer, left her job at a large company to branch out on her own. She decided it would be the ideal time to adopt a dog since she was working from home.

Realizing she was not very good at controlling her new dog, she took up an offer from Owen, a handsome dog trainer to help her. In the meantime, Julia has a hard time finding design work but strikes up a conversation with a woman at the dog park who is in need of a designer for her baby nursery.

The chemistry between Owen and Julia was very believable, and the story had charm. The dog was adorable too!

This is a nice enough Hallmark film, with the two leads giving good performances. I disagree with other reviewers, I liked the sarky nature of Jenna Kramer's character.

The story is a bit all over the place though, it doesn't seem to know what it wants to focus on, so instead shoves a lot of standard Hallmark film plot elements together in the hope they all gel. Which, thankfully they all just about do.

Not the best Hallmark film, but I'd take this over a Marvel green screen 'masterpiece' any day.

Slooooow sappy she's too 😫 whiny and kind of a downer, I can see why she's single! If I were King I'd drag her back to the rescue and have her leave me there! Dog trainer should have been glad when she had to leave the restaurant!

I love dogs and really wanted to like this movie. Jana Kramer is so boring in the leading role that I could barely get through it. She adopts a dog. Why? She's obviously not comfortable loving him. She's mechanical and has absolutely no passion. This was really hard to watch. Where's Alicia Witt or Lacey Chabert in these Winterfest movies?
