Movie Reviews of A Dog's Breakfast
Movie Review: LOVED IT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really loved this movie!! The first time I watched it, I was with some friends, and they were all like, "Seriously, a movie made in Canada, you're not really gonna make us watch this, right?" And, "Is this another of your weird Stargate type things?" Well they watched, and while I laughed harder, they did enjoy themselves.
On a not so side note--Kate and David Hewlett acting together--awesome!!! The really had me believing they were brother and sister. ;D Paul McGillion and the rest of the cast were great, too! Of course the reall star is Mars--great work buddy, can't wait to see you in other stuff!!
Added note on David Hewlett's acting--this guy can do anything! If you haven't seen him in Stargate, go, watch...why are you still reading this!! Go run and watch!! :D Esp. the (currently) most recent episode of SGA "The Shrine".
Movie Review: A Dog's Breakfast review
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to see a screening of this movie months ago, and was extremely excited to see it available on Amazon! This movie is hilarious, in a way completely different from most comedies today. Both clever little jokes and obvious visual gags are present throughout the film - in the theater, the audience giggles were replaced only by hysterical laughter. Also, fans of Stargate will be delighted to see some familiar faces popping up. The movie isn't just darkly funny - it's got a few fun little twists that will leave you VERY impressed!
My favorite performance was probably from the canine participant: dog Mars is such a cutie that he can't help but steal the show! The human acting in the film WAS very good, however. It is obvious that the actors had a great time getting into their roles and really threw themselves into it.
Movie Review: Absolutely Bloody Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been following David Hewlett for a few years now and I couldn't be more pleased with this venture. It's a wonderful combination of physical and intellectual humor. Very remniscent of the earlier film in the Hewlett catalog "Nothing" as far as the humor goes. I spent the movie alternating between laughing out loud, trying to look away from the screen (without success), and on the edge of my seat trying to decide where they were actually going with the story. Plus, the appearance of several Stargate alums and just the clips we get of the spoof show "Starcrossed" are nice little Easter eggs for long time fans. The on-screen chemistry between real life brother and sister David and Kate is beautiful to the level of John and Joan Cusack.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes a little (or a lot) of weird with their funny!
Movie Review: Howlingly Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been lucky enough to see a number of screening of this movie, and am really looking forward to it coming out on DVD. I can honestly say that it is one the funniest movies I've ever seen. The main cast is brilliant, and Kate Hewlett is not only a wonderful actress, she's wickedly funny in her role as Marilyn. This movie is pretty family safe, and we took our children, ages 8 and 13, to see it as well. Both of them laughed through the entire thing, though of course some of the humour went over their heads. For a movie made on a very small, very tight budget, I found it more appealing them some of the resent Hollywood mega-films. This is a movie I will most certainly buy, and one that I have been recommending to friends and family. If you like your comedy with a dark bite to it, then this is the film for you.Movie Review: A great first film
Summary: 5 Stars
A Dogs Breakfast is a black comedy written by and staring David Hewlett. If you are a Stargate Atlantis fan you will recognise a lot of the cast though this is not a Sci-Fi film. I had already seen 2 screenings of this film before it was available thanks to an Atlantis convention and a local film festival. I still could not wait to get my hands on a disk. The brother / sister interplay is fantastic, no doubt helped by the fact that Marilyn is played by David's real life sister Kate. Mars (playing himself) is just brilliant. That a low budget movie like this gets such a relatively large release via MGM should give an idea of its quality. My only disappointment is that it is only Region 1. That said, get a copy, set aside some time, pull a beer or get a glass of wine and enjoy.
