Walk with him, talk with him, just don't trust him

I read a review of THE DOGWALKER where it said the lead only has a close relationship with the dog in the movie--and I thought that sounded like every guy I've hooked up with!

So I had to see it, and of course, he was like every dude in LA--hot, sexy, and couldn't care less about anyone. Dead on!

I love this movie, it has charm and insight--and exposed the truth about people--where most movies fail to show this--people don't change.

A sleeper worth waking up for!

I'd have to say it was the cast of characters that reeled me in.

Will Stewart as Jerry is flawless--I've never liked such an unlikeable character. One forgets he's not such a good guy because the actor has charisma without working it. The performances down the line were unique and authentic--a couple over the top, but overall, fun. The friendships of the young African-Americans and the Senior Citizen crew, with Jerry as their catalyst, was not only hilarious, but the freshest mix I've seen on screen in a long time. The Dogwalker is a quirky comedy mixed with a dark integrity---the movie reminds me of that famous Sinatra quote, "Whatever gets you through the night." That's what the struggle is for each character in The Dogwalker, and it's what created the unity of the cast.

I enjoyed the character driven aspects.

Dogwalker is unique as it intertwines the races as well as the socio-economic aspects of the characters.Creating a sence of love,empthy,conflict and tradgi-comedy. All that for under $500,000.00......W O W

Avoid at all costs.

My god this film was awful.

I would bet my left arm that everyone who made positive comments was a shill for the film company.

Poor acting, sluggish pace, insipid dialog, and that's just when it's good.

The characters are as deep as the a puddle on a sidewalk and equally boring.

I can say that is competently lit though the camera moves are frequently.

Avoid at all costs, you'll never get that time back.

No wonder it took 5 years for this movie to come out.

Twists, humor, and a good plot... should've made the main theatres!

I saw this movie with a friend at the 2000 Palm Springs International Film Festival in early 2000. The biggest thing I remember about it was that it was quite enjoyable from beginning to end- I had no real lapses in interest. A good cast (some of whom were on hand to talk after the viewing) with well-played parts. It's a story about a hard-up slacker who finds a "job" walking an old lady's dog. Little did he know that he was getting into a complex, often humorous, sometimes dangerous web of relationships with the woman's family. If I remember correctly, he become's the family's cook, cleaner, and errand-boy, not to mention the object of the sultry teenage granddaughter's (?) desires. If given the chance, I would definitely see it again.

Jerry: It was the end of an era, profit had turned to loss, fortune to folly, winners to losers. And the chaff was beginning to fall out like so much dandruff. Didn't have to shake too hard to get me to tumble though, I'd only ever been along of the ride. I just never cared that much. And now, now it was time for something new.
