Night of the Dog

I also caught this film at the Palm Beach Film Festival. It was very entertaining, and I thought it an outstanding freshman effort. I hope it gets wider release. I can picture this as the next cult film, like "Office Space". Very entertaining. Some of the story lines were uneven, but the acting was superb, and my friend and I laughed the whole way through. Good luck to the filmmakers, and anyone who has a chance to catch this little gem, please do. It will be time well spent.

This movie is really 4 stories about lousy romances, linked by the fact that all the men in the film work together at a movie theater. I don't want to spoil it and go into too much detail, but the funniest one in my opinion was the "phonebook" sequence. And yes, the filmmakers did all work at a "fascist" (their words) movie theater, which acted partly as their inspiration.

I went to see this film at the Palm Beach Film Festival last Friday and I had a riotous good time. I laughed throughout the whole thing. I commemorate all six of these "gentlemen" for not only being brilliant writers and directors, but great actors as well. The brilliance of this film came from the fact that originally it was four different films ranging from twenty to thirty minutes long each, and the six managed to splice these movies perfectly together in one hilarious, ensemble movie. The Six truly are the next Broken Lizard, and like BR, they will deliver soon-to-be classic, or cult classic, comedies like SUPER TROOPERS and CLUB DREAD.

I give this movie two thumbs up. WAAAAY UP.

HEHEHEHE.

Night of the Dog was hands down the best film at the Palm Beach International Film Festival. The film is filled with original and entertaining humor and witty jokes. The combination of the different story lines was perfect blended. The writing, directing, and acting couldn't have been any better. The Night of the Dog will most likely be screening at many festivals in the future. If you have the opportunity to see this film, then take a trip to the theater and be ready to laugh your tighty whiteys off.

Thanks to "The Six" and their amazing cast for a film that made me laugh so hard it brought tears to my eyes!

Just got back from the Palm Beach International Film Festival where it was too windy...and there was too much catfish on the menu. Anyway, as there is at every fest I attend, there was one film that snunk out of the bushes and blew this old man away. I'm no prude, but NIGHT OF THE DOG made me blush for laughing at extreme violence, perversity (especially one character's "f**k banter") and character's so stupid and lovable...well shoot, I wished I was back in my old days on the college campus. This is one wild, hysterical ride...and I have no doubt you'll be hearing all the unforgettable line whisper beyond the herb-smelling doors of dorm rooms before too long. It's funny...most indie films and filmmakers worry so much about the "look" and "message" of indie and art films, they produce lifeless, yet polished, garbage. NIGHT OF THE DOG makes the story and energy their first priority, like "Clerks," "Slacker" and "Stranger than Paradise" before them. It was the toast of Palm Beach and I was happy to join in on the fun.

I had a chance to catch a screening of Night of the Dog at the Palm Beach Film Festival - and I am glad I did. This movie is hilarious! I laughed through the entire thing! I would tell you what my favorite part is, but there are just too many to choose from. Hopefully I will have a chance to see it again so I can show it to all of my friends! Thank you, NOTD, for a truly wonderful evening at the cinema. I am sure it will be in many festivals to come - please let me know when it will be playing in Los Angeles. Also let me know where I can score one of those sharp Night of the Dog t-shirts, Christmas is only seven months away!
