The Dog Wedding

Highly recommend this film to dog lovers, wrestling fans, and general cinephiles. It's a fun and quirky rom-com about a clash of cultures and two pet-owners who go to extremes to celebrate their love for animals and eventually find romance. Set in the mystical landscape of Arizona, the story takes you on a peyote trip and underscores a need to support the disenfranchised Native American population. There's even a skosh of Japanese culture represented in the musice score and cosplay. Did I mention a pickle factory? Very eccentric film. Especially loved how it reverses gender roles of the two protagonists without stereotyping. The title sequence with dozens of dog photos in fancy tuxedos and wedding gowns was very well done. Can't wait to see the sequel!

We had an honor to attend the premiere of the movie in New York City before it made it to the big screens nationwide, and had a pleasure to meet director and cast. Matt Bloom is HUGE when you stand next to him in person, and Rosalie Thomass is charming and not uptight at all :) Our own Lulu of Little Bites of the Big Apple blog was featured in the opening credits as a part of their pawsome Dog Wedding photo contest.

The chemistry between the two characters on the screen is striking, and very unique and engaging plot keeps you guessing what will happen next. The dialogues are witty, and dogs are a major part of the play.

If you are a dog parent or dog lover, we highly recommend watching this movie on a big screen or online! Congratulations to Mr. Lefkowitz and team on their outstanding work!

We attended the Boston Premiere and fully enjoyed the film and its off-beat look at dog owners and relationships. The storyline moved well and the characters were skillfully cast. Hopefully there will be a sequel and we can further enjoy another episode. It does not hurt that we love Bullies!!! The crossover relationship from the world of professional wrestling and that of a young single professional woman was very entertaining and the two lead characters carried it off very well. We have seen Matt Bloom as his professional namesakes in the WWE and were very surprised by how talented he is as an actor out of the ring. His counterpart, Rosalie Thomass, was a natural in playing the love involvement in The Manimal's life, especially with their love of English Bulldogs. They carried off their relationship naturally and had the audience rooting for them. Well done!!!

The Japanese elements were so unique. With that came a fun and unique soundtrack. The composition was brilliantly visual. I loved the colors against the desert pallet. The big burly wrestlers, so sweet, and that was a surprise! So many great little pieces of authenticity in the native characters. great humor -- so many hysterical moments. The dog bits were such a delight. I loved the opening credits, very charming, which foretold the tone of the film. And on top of all that, I was captivated by a powerful story about a girl trapped in her own life. This has all the makings of a really fun cult classic. I would love to see a theater of people watching, dressed up like the characters. so fun! The world needs more fun silliness filled with authentic truth. Well done!

This is a movie that has something for everyone.....relationships, dogs, wrestling, humor, business drama, jazz, and many unique characters. The movie is rare in the fact that it has ability to feel independent and quirky but appeal to a very mass audience. The movie is set in Arizona and involves a professional wrestler who meets a German business woman through their pet bulldogs. She is in Arizona on business to potentially shutdown a local food manufacturing facility and layoff the local workers. Her father is an overbearing CEO who demands her to only focus on the company. As you can imagine all the elements intertwine in a charming colorful story. I think viewers will enjoy this movie, yet appreciate that it is refreshingly creative and unique.
