My Boyfriends' Dogs

Erika Christensen played Bailey, a public high school English or language arts teacher. She arrived with her dogs at diner at closing time in a wedding dress. She begins to tell the story of what happened to Joyce Dewitt's Nikki and the diner owner Louie. It's a sweet tale with not much saccharine like other Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. It's a nice sweet overall film about relationships. The cast do a great job. I wished the storyline was better told though. The characters are somewhat developed more than most in these kind of films without using cheap tricks to engage the viewers. I am a Joyce Dewitt fan so I enjoyed her performance as Nikki. We don't see enough of her in film and television.

Another cute little romance, loveable main character a little hard to handle her Biggest Flaw, but cute movie about learning to be yourself and find love that accepts you. Ok watch but not great. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/15/2021

Erika Christensen stars as a high school teacher eager to meet Mr. Right, but her search proves futile as she realizes her choices are not the best. The movie opens with Christensen running through the rain with three dogs in tow. She comes upon a small diner that just closed and-- looking pathetic and drenched, the owners allow her in. The movie is told through her recounting of how she came to the diner dressed in a wedding gown. Christensen is a lovely actress who fits this role perfectly. Central to the story are some cute little dogs, always a nice addition to any movie. Shot in a small idyllic town somewhere in California, this movie was actually filmed somewhere in Canada (Toronto likely, or Vancouver) and is filled with several fresh Canadian faces. This is a nice 2-hour diversion for the romantic at heart.

Bailey Daley (Erika Christensen) finds shelter from a rainy night in a diner. She's in a wedding dress with three dogs as she recounts how she got there. She's a high school teacher and French teacher Amber is her best friend. Dina is her widower mother. She dates new gym teacher Wade who has golden retriever Adam. He moves to Seattle with another girl and leaves Adam with her. Pet store owner Cole is running dog adoption day. There's meeting artist Jonathan who has dalmatian Eve. He's a snobby British vegetarian. They break up and he gives Eve to her. Finally, there's Eric. He is reluctant to adopt a dog from the store. His rich family picks out a pure-breed Shih Tzu. His dislike of dogs threatens to tear them apart.

Erika Christensen is an enchanting actress. Tyron Leitso could have been a solid companion. They could have solid romantic chemistry. The problem is that they don't spend enough time together. This is a Hallmark movie and the expectations are not that high. However, they need to give a romance time to cook up. All her other guys eat up screen time. There is a solid formula to this type of movies and this is not it.

Excellent example of the Romance Genre. There are no coy, misleading, misspoken or misunderstood words or deeds. It is easy to follow the love story, you see where the problem is and she solves it. Just like you would.

It's almost like real life. The characters develop and reveal their good points and bad points, nothing is contrived and sprung upon the viewer out of nowhere. I laughed at her mistakes, just as she did.

A thoroughly enjoyable movie and it would be nice to see the next chapter (nope, not going to tell) as walking off in the rain is not the same as riding off into the sunset.

((you know, along the lines of; will she learn to follow her heart? is HE the one? How many more dogs is she going to collect? Will her students finish Wuthering Heights? Can she get her money back on vol. 1 of Proust's 'in search of lost time' or is she doomed to have a 700 page book, of which she cannot get past page 5, haunt her book shelves forever? True it will stop any caliber of bullet up to a .308, but is that enough to keep a book on your shelf?))
