If you're looking for more comedy styling of Kids in the Hall, skip this film. This film has wonderful acting by Luke Wilson, Janeane Garafalo, Natasha Henstridge, Bruce McCulloch, Kathleen Robertson, and Kristen Lehman.Even the cameo actors shine like diamonds in this piece. Michael McManus has a walk-on as Derrick the waiter and if ever a man demonstrated that he didn't want to serve a table, he sold it perfectly.Andy (Luke Wilson) is a journalist who's been in relationships without a break since grade eight. His girlfriend, Cheryl (Kathleen Robertson), has just left him for Trevor, taking with her their dog. Andy meets Lorna (Natasha Henstridge) unaware that her ex-boyfriend is Trevor. Lorna spurns Andy after a bad first date and regrets it immediately.Andy has a wild and frightening relationship with Kieran (Kristen Lehman). One of the funniest lines in the film come from this strange interchange. Harland Williams as the quirky Cullum is a bright spot as an oddball date for lovelorn Lorna.Most of these damaged people own maladjusted dogs. They visit the same dog park and they all go to the same dog psychiatrist (Mark McKinney). The dog shrink is the touchstone for all the lunacy in the film.There are LOL moments and subtle humour. There is a single Kids in the Hall moment. It's quite subtle. Don't blink or you'll miss it.Will there be a happy ending? Will Andy and Cheryl reconcile? Will Peanut the dog learn to come when she's called? Will Lorna die single and unloved? I'll never tell.Peridot

A truly dreadful movie in just about every way. Atrocious, amateurish dialog, bad acting by good people (how well can yo act when you have to spout those horrible lines), not a shred of reality or truth to anything that transpires. And the concept, if one can call it that, is warmed over Woody Allen with the dog thing - because let's face it - dogs are cute and people who like dogs or have dogs or want to have dogs - well, they're already swell people, aren't they? Miss this movie unless you want a crash course in how to write trite, unoriginal, cliché-ridden, sloppy, boring crud. So, no, I didn't really care much for it.

I don't know what it is but romantic comedies always seem to be a let down. The comedy is just barely there and the romance is too unconventional to be believed. Dog Park is what the genre should be. It takes one small quirk, the dogs in this case, and melds a fairly realistic story around it. Featuring a great cast and great writing, this film jumps right off the screen. To have reality in a genre that lacks it makes it touch deeper than others. A great film and finally a date film that doesn't sacrifice quality.

As a romantic comedy, it's not very romantic nor is it very funny.The whole thing is a pot of bad cliches of romantic comedy movies: the "always with a quip" best friend, "meet-cutes," running into an ex, bad breakups, the blonde with a strange sexual thing, etc ... ecetera, ecetera, ecetera - we've seen it all before - the only difference is a dog park instead of a singles bar and it's used sparingly and without any imagination.The cast is good but they don't have much to work with. It's a dog already and not the kind you want to take home.
