Mon chien stupide

If you like french movies, you will like this one. It has a smart and funny dialog, mainly by the actor/director Yvan Attal. His wife (in the movie and in real life), actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, is a bit overly dramatic at the beginning but plays well the rest of the movie. The story in not plausible (a dog that settle at their home and likes to hump guys), but it did not bother me. The story is not original - a writer that has a writer's block and writes about his current situation; still, it interesting, how each chapter is about one of their kids or other family issues the writer experiences. The movie is a bit too long, feels a bit slow in the middle, but then, gets back on track. Good acting; good cinematography; good direction = an enjoyable movie.

This is an average movie, script is not so interesting..a one time watchable movie. artistes are average also and at certain time the movie seems boring, and not entertaining at all.

This was a very streamlined and monotonous movie, the script is a bit pretentious, it tries to sound poetic, but comes off as just wannabe. Most characters are detestable, from the father to the mother and some of the sons. The whole story is a bit shallow and the moments that are supposed to be romantic simply look artificial. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't watch it more than once and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

If you enjoy French family drama (isn't there always?) , you'll enjoy this movie based on a novella ( My Dog Stupid) by American writer John Fante.

Far from being a comedy except for the antics of Stupide, a huge grey Neapolitan Mastiff.

The actor Yvan Attal plays an award winning writer with writer's block. And of course since it's French there is a long suffering wife played by Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Still an enjoyable movie if only because of the dog, Stupide.

I enjoyed this movie, but I do think it is geared toward middle age or older adults. There are some light hearted moments and a few moments that made me laugh a little. The scenes with the dog were good. I wouldn't truly call it a comedy and the drama wasn't too heavy(it didn't make me cry, cringe or cheer). I can see how some viewers found it boring, but I could understand where all the characters were coming from, and I also enjoyed a lot of the dialogue which made me enjoy the movie.
