Like Cats & Dogs

Two strangers are double booked in a nice house. The far fetched and cringe aspect is the female lead seems to be immediately flirting and in the guys personal space when he was typing an email. Then her friend offers her a room in the house but she says no, she's rather stay in a house with a complete stranger even though her whole trip was to see her friend and would that not be the most ideal to hang out with her.

The way the female lead flirts with the random guy despite knowing he has a gf and not knowing about their relationship really made me cringe.

The plot has also been done before, however a little more realistically as in the other film the female lead didn't have somewhere else she could stay.

Must admit I had no idea who Cassidy Gifford or Wyatt Nash were, I bought this movie on a Hallmark box set because there was a cat in it. Turned out to be quite an enjoyable little romp with two good looking and competent leads, but for me Mozart ,The cat and Frank ,the dog were the real stars, only downer is we should have seen more of them, still, nice little film, refreshing in that there was no foul language or crude scenes, which seem to be the norm these days, worth it for that alone!

Yep, that premise has been done and this one follows a lot of those movies in the way it develops. The renters are angry at each other then at the agency. Of course, the agency can't do anything for them and there is no place else in town available. The owner does refund half to each. When it's apparent they are stuck they settle in and start annoying each other. They make rules. The line down the middle, in this case, is only in the refrigerator. One of the rules was that each person could only use the bathroom 3 times in one day. Good luck if you have to go.

This is my second time watching this. Not sure why I gave it 8 stars the first time. I only downgraded one as a result of this time, but I feel like if today was my first time it would be even lower.

Still it was a pleasant enough movie. The dog and cat added a little fun. Cassidy Gifford is appealing as Laura who is a bright eyed optimist. Laura is far more ready to go with the flow at first. Spencer has to get really annoying before she runs away to her friend's house. But they make up and start adapting to each other. That part was a little rushed. Gifford and Wyatt Nash have some chemistry, but it isn't given enough screen time. The acting is OK as is the dialogue, but neither is extraordinary. Same for the scenery.

There is a side story about Laura that leads into the climax more than the relationship. There is also a little twist involving the owner that is obscurely hinted when Laura first enters the house. I noticed the hints on my second time through knowing what the twist was.

This wasn't a bad movie, actually. I really liked the premise, where a character named Laura Haley (Cassidy Gifford), an up and coming photographer, gets to spend 2 weeks in a summer house with her dog, Frank but she realizes that the house was double booked by writer Spenser (Wyatt Nash) and although they're two personalities that can't live in the same house, things get even more complicated when Spenser brings his cat, Mozart. The rest of the movie has some quirky dialog. Loved the filming location and the rest of the characters. Singer/songwriter Hayley Sales (Susan) has one of the best scenes in the entire movie. I watched this part over and over again. Gwyneth Walsh is a great supporting actress.

Didn't think this would be any good at first glance, but the title hooked us as we gave two cats and we love dogs too...just not in the same house. Didn't think we were going to like this movie, but it got better and better and the interplay between Frank the dog and Mozart the cat was wonderful. I liked the two leads, didn't know anything about them, but I thought they were good together. The male lead was a little stiff, but he loosened up and built a character with the female lead. I don't read reviews until after I watch a movie because I don't want any preconceived ideas or negative reviews to alter my feeling of the movie. Glad I waited till after I watched the movie because as fun as the lead female was, I see where she got it...her mom and dad. Enjoyed this movie.
