Movie Review: Year of the Dog has no bite
Summary: 3 Stars
I rented this movie thinking it would be something more than it was and when it was over I just felt relieved. The plot is simple enough. Peggy Spade loses her beloved dog,Pencil, and has to cope with life afterwards. She puts her hopes into meeting a man to change her life, but is always disappointed. Then she discovers that she cares more about animals than people and joins groups like PETA. But she takes it a step too far. She almost becomes enraged and a little crazy with her new cause and goes WAY overboard. While I knew that this would be quirky and different I expected a romantic comedy. But maybe this movie was trying to go in another direction. But the direction it followed was uncomfortable and at times obsurd.
Her character takes a major turn toward crazy pretty darn fast and I found it unbelievable. Would you ever adopt 15 dogs in one day and just let them poop everywhere? Would you really start stealing from your boss in order to donate money to a rescue center? Or would you ever break into your neighbor's house and try to attack him because he is a hunter? Or could you ever take a little girl to a slaughter house? While some of these scenes started out funny they became just wierd and over dramatic. I am a zoologist and I love animals, but animal lovers are not crazy and this isn't a fair portrayl.
I didn't hate this movie but I wasn't moved by it. I liked the premise and the actors- I just don't think the script was that good. It is not a 'bad' movie- but it isn't worth a second viewing.
