Dog Days

Perfect family movie. Funny, great acting, hilarious writing. And dogs. Recommend.

I took my preteen granddaughters (who love dogs) to this movie. I thought it would probably turn out to be a lame silly movie but I actually liked it. It was a cute, funny and sweet movie. It was also so refreshing to watch a movie that didn't involve listening to profanity every three seconds. My girls and I loved it and we talked for about an hour afterward about the cute Chihuahua with the helmet!

People are people. They seek but often are in conflict to find the perfect relationship. That's where dogs come in, they give their owners unconditional affection. In this movie you discover the situation of these broken individuals who are missing the attention they crave. The dogs help bridge the gap in seeking love, friendship, and companionship. This is the ideal date movie or a feel good story. Watch it and you are reaffirmed of the fact that man's best friends are always there with a wagging tale and caring heart regardless of is going on in the world.

I really liked it. The acting was sincere and I enjoyed the ad libbing. Yes the plots are predictable but didn't seem forced.

I was not excited to watch this movie. However, thanks to moviepass, why not? And I am very glad I did.

The movie has 4 plots. A very energetic dog that's driving a family about to welcome babies crazy, an abandoned puppy that was found by a barista, an old man and his overweight pug and a TV host with her depressed dog after a breakup. The transitions are smooth and it does not feel overwhelming to follow all characters.

The plots are basic and not pretentious. Young kids can understand and older, jaded viewers will not be bored. The movie also puts adopting pets is such a good light that the only "risk" is leaving the theater wanting to adopt a four legged companion.

Dog Days is perfect for dog lovers and/or people who are looking for a light hearted comedy. This is absolutely not meant to be intellectual or a gag comedy.
