Movie Review: Leaves something to be desired
Summary: 1 Stars
The Beagle was cute. The story line was a little too over the edge for my taste.
Summary of Year of the Dog
Molly Shannon gives a strange and strangely touching performance in Year of the Dog. A quiet secretary named Peggy (Shannon, Superstar, Good Boy!) goes into a tailspin when her beloved dog Pencil dies, leading her to flirt with dating, veganism, animal rights activism, and violence. But though the plot may sound shapeless, the movie is sharp and focused, cutting to the bone of every character's obsessions and neuroses. Yet, though extremely funny, Year of the Dog isn't strictly satirical--writer/director Mike White (writer of The Good Girl and Chuck & Buck) doesn't pass judgment on his characters, no matter how irrational or appalling their behavior may be. The movie has a cool empathy, a wistful yet unsparing glance at human weakness. The entire cast--which includes Laura Dern (We Don't Live Here Anymore), John C. Reilly (Boogie Nights), Regina King (Ray), and Peter Sarsgaard (Boys Don't Cry)--walk a fine line between painfully real and comically absurd. Fans of distinctive directors like Don Roos (The Opposite of Sex, Happy Endings) and Todd Solondz (Happiness, Storytelling) will enjoy Year of the Dog. --Bret FetzerMolly Shannon plays Peggy a happy-go-lucky secretary who is a great friend employee and sister living alone with her beloved dog Pencil. But when Pencil unexpectedly dies Peggy must find meaning in her life. John C. Reilly Peter Sarsgaard Regina King and Laura Dern turn in great comic performances as the significant people in Peggy s life who give her ill-fitting advice.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097363479642 Manufacturer No: 347964
