Customer Reviews

QUIRKY, FUNNY, INSIGHTFUL AND VERY ENTERTAINING!
Being a big fan of Giovanni Ribisi, I had to see this little movie. I was pleasantly surprised watching this well written tale of a writer who has become unable to write, function and has run out of money to pay for his therapy. His therapist suggest he buy a pet, so the young writer buys a cute little dog to take care of and hopefully help him get out of his unhealthy daily routine.

The film is full of good performances and insight. The dog is completely mesmerizing as he does little to convey so much. The scenes with the dog just doing nothing with the comical score in the background are priceless! It's a very entertaining movie with a great cast and impressive direction by Scott Caan(James son), who wrote and also plays Ribisi's best friend. This is a cool film that is like a short subject, but has a lot to offer bewteen the lines. I can see this becoming a cult favorite!

The Dog Steals the Show
Remember the lovable pooch in "As Good As It Gets"?? The dog almost stoled the movie from Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. Well this quirky little film, shot in Los Angeles, is another one! I rented this movie twice before I decided it had to be in my "Permanent" Collection. Giovanni Ribisi is perfect in this film as a "depressed" writer (In LA? come on!!) and the supporting cast doesn't let you down. A real indy delight.

A Man, his Psychiatrist, and a Dog
Well written, well acted movie.
Not for you if your looking for action, or sex.
But if you enjoy a good story, with good performances, and dogs are almost always good, then you can't go wrong with this movie.
A man's psychiatrist tells him he needs a dog, I wasn't sure that would be so good for the dog. Little did I know the guy didn't stand a chance.
A lot of fun, but not for those who need a fast paced film.
