I saw Unleashed at the Sonoma International Film Festival. The movie theater was packed and laughter rang clear, throughout this film. If you have ever loved a cat or a dog, you can so relate to the actions that are assumed by the characters. The story line is sweet and the acting is spot on. I will be encouraging all of my animal-loving friends to see this film when it (hopefully) arrives on the big screen in most communities.
... View MoreI saw this film at the Sonoma Film Festival. It was even better than I expected. Both Justin and Steve nailed their roles as cat/man and dog/man. It was laugh out loud funny to see the two of them inhabiting those roles. If a lab came to life, he would be Steve. And Justin's portrayal of the cat just underscored why I love dogs more. :) The entire cast was well chosen, and the locations were nice, not in every single movie, spots. They added to the movie but weren't a distraction.The premise is cute, the plot holds together, and the ending is heartwarming.I rarely laugh out loud at a movie, but there were a couple of scenes where I heard everyone laughing along with me. It was funny but not stupid.It's the best romantic comedy I've seen in a very long time, and I can't wait to see it again!
... View MoreMy wife and saw Unleashed at the recent Napa Valley Film Festival. It was a delight to watch. The humor was extremely witty and unique. The plot was a surprise as the description was a little vague but we were hungry for a comedy after all the serious themes of the other films. This was the relief we needed! The plot was clever, the pet characters were hysterical. The movie moved quickly and the plot was not predictable. I think this will be a surprise hit when it is broadly distributed. All pet owners will enjoy the great takes the "animals" bring to their human form. Justin Chatwin and Steve Howley were stand outs! Justin brought a funny seriousness to his role while Steve emerged as a young Will Ferrell. Kate Micucci delivers a great quirky character with a good heart that's been deeply hurt. Her wish for a great "man" is sincere and arrives with big twists and turns. The director poked great fun at our cultish celebrity culture. This is a great date or family movie. Truly fun for all ages.
... View MoreBest movie I have seen in years . Laughed out loud belly rolls ! Saw this at the Napa Valley Film Festival and can hardly wait to share it with my friends and family. Great cast , beautiful shots of San Francisco. A true classic for all animal lovers as well . And a definite mood changer . If you need a lift see this movie . Bravo Bravo Bravo The cast is so talented and with people you will recognize. The shots in the city are like what Woody Alllen does for NewYork. I think this should be shared with you nearest and dearest. I dreamed about the movie for 3 days after I saw it and woke up chuckling . And still find myself going back and telling my clients about the scenes . Who also laughed out loud and it made there day brighter while being thought provoking.
