Must Love Dogs
Continuing with the romantic comedy track we saw “Must Love Dogs” yesterday. I mostly wanted to see it because I like watching John Cusack and Elizabeth Perkins. A lot of movies based on books have an empty feel to them that you can sense even without knowing that it’s an adaptation. This movie manages to avoid that for the most part so I was surprised at the end to find that it is based on a Novel.
The odd family characters are fun and not over the top as in something like Eulogy, just kind of your normal large family crazy. There are references to age throughout which makes me think that age plays a more important role in the book. Definitely not as funny as Hitch but a more even level of good witty dialog throughout. It’s light and fun, check it out.
