I watched Must Love Dogs with Gin and Marta and we all agreed - it is a must-see movie. Only for our kind. We who enjoyed Notebook, Two Weeks Notice, Sabrina, When Harry Met Sally, Love Actually, My Best Friend's Wedding, Maid in Manhattan, Under the Tuscan Sun. Must Love Dogs deserves to be listed under the same category. Dialogues are unique. Pacing is just right. Yes, I know it is almost predictable. But who wants surprises when you have decided from the very start what you wanted?
The movie is fun because you see family dynamics at work. It is about moving on and learning to fight for the good that life throws at you. That is, if you recognize the "good". Do you believe in fatalism? I used to keep a scoreboard to tally those which I worked for and those which just landed on my lap. I do not remember the reason why I stopped counting. But I distinctly remember thinking, "No matter how much you work for it, if it is not yours, it never will happen". Thinking that makes life easier ... Does it?
