Patrick

After watching the trailer, I thought this film was a light hearted romantic comedy. While watching it, I realised it was more of a family film with a lot of romantic comedy elements in it. It is fun, positive and squeaky clean. I enjoyed it.

A typical chick flick with an adorable pug as a storyline!

If you're expectations are just not that high, if you just want some easy entertainment, some laughs (predictable ones but overall not that bad) Patrick might be a movie for you. The entire movie is a feelgood family movie, not much of a story going on except the easy cheesy moments you usually have with these kind of movies. I did enjoy it, mostly because it's about a dog and that happens to be my weak spot, so I can't really complain. But to be realistic it's a movie fine to watch once on a rainy sunday with the whole family but that's about it. The acting is passable, nothing great but nothing cringing either. Could it have been better? Certainly but for dog lovers it will do the job.

The lead was great for an unknown - if you want a lighthearted romcom look no further

This was silly and ridiculous at times, but was overall a funny pick-me-up film. If you're looking for something light, positive, and family-friendly this would be a great choice.
