    Year of the Dog

    Year of the Dog's trailer is a bald faced lie. It paints the film as a sweet, funny rom-com featuring Molly Shannon's previously unsociable Peggy ... read more »

    Peculiar and unsatisfactory.

    I found this an odd and unconvincing film: it started off like a lightweight comedy and then developed into what seemed – but the direction didn’t ... read more »

    Year of the dog

    Very poor, a waste of a good cast. The story was too thin to cover the time devoted to it. The basic concept of the film deserved better.

    Year of the Dog

    Thought this would be a bit of fun. Not the case the whole family didn't like it, wouldn't want to see it again.
    
    Film goes no where.

    Misleading

    The trailer makes you think this film will be a quirky independent romantic comedy.
    
    It really isn't.
    
    It is quite a depressing, sad ... read more »

    Hmm, not what I expected

    It is not a romantic comedy...it has some good acting by the protagonist, but the story grinds and was not particularly enjoyable. Won't be recommending, or... read more »

    Mixed up

    I'm not sure what this film wanted to be. Most of the characters were great, and really well-acted, and the cast was high-quality. John C Reilly and Laura ... read more »

    This movie is an excellent one for anyone seeking a refreshing and empowering take on animal rights, veganism and the value of independence from societal norms... read more »
