Enjoyable to watch on a rainy afternoon.

Yvan Attal did a good job with this one, both as the director and as an actor. Charlotte Gainsbourg made me realize I'm getting old. Having known her since being the little daughter of Serge Gainsbourg to a mature good actress, many years passed by since then. Mon Chien Stupide (or My Dog Stupid for the English title) is a good dramady, easy to watch, and entertaining enough, certainly for this genre. Melancholy, difficult parenthood, existential life answers and questions, and a dog, those are the ingredients. The acting was good and that from the whole cast, even the big Mastiff. Good cinematography too, a movie with nothing really bad to write about. Don't expect anything fast paced though, it's mostly conversations between family members, the daily family arguments, but it's sometimes emotional and recognizable. Worth a watch.

Cute dog, that's it

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.

Didn't expect that

Excellent film. Completely different from what I expected. Maybe hit too close to home. I was thinking comedy. It had very funny moments, but the overall film, was real life. Family. Expectations. Disappointments. Love.

A great movie

Wonderful and endearing black comedy. Great movie to watch with young adults. Very well directed by actor/director Yvan Attal. Wife and superb actress Charlotte Gainsbourg does a great job too. Just a great example of life, family and enduring through it.

Fun French Dramady

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.
