How sad is this?

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is your basic Hallmark love story. A designer adopts a dog and finds out caring for a dog is not as easy as she thought. This concept was a cute PSA for would be dog adopters. The work is worth it for the love of your dog. She hires the incredibly handsome dog trainer from the shelter to help. I never found the dog to be really difficult just stubborn. That's all. There were no horrible disasters that could have been hilarious. Of course, the humans fall in love with each other as the woman and dog bond with each other. My only question was the dog breed. The movie description said the dog was a German Shepherd. I wasn't buying that at all. As another reviewer said, they went overboard with this woman's eyelashes. I have watched this movie more than once anyway/

I'm gonna have to agree with most of the reviews, the movie did progress quite slow. As a Hallmark fan I did enjoy it, very much, but it's not one my favorites. Is it worth the watch? YES. Definitely. What could have made this movie better was a few more jokes and maybe one of those silly, uncomfortable, clumsy moments between the leads. I was expecting that but it never came.I've only seen Jana Kramer in OTH, so it was the first time I watched her perform another character, fortunately, she did not disappoint, her character was adorable, I hope we get to see her on more Hallmark movies. I would have to say that Jana and "King" the dog were the highlight of the movie.The chemistry between Julia and Owen was believable and cute. But Kevin's McGarry character didn't shine that much, which I think is good. Also, the plot didn't have any surprises, but it wasn't bad.To sum up, it wasn't one of Hallmarks best, but it is definitely worth the watch, specially if you love dogs.

It's not a bad movie, but it is a slow one. The story has a lot of promise and showcases pet care, but the tedious time wasting become aggravating at times. That and the leading lady's eyelashes. They've put eyelashes on her the size of the great wall of china; I'm surprised she could open her eye lids. In the scenes, that is all you see - her eye lashes. All those outdoors scenes, and the focus is her eye lashes. Dogs are fun to watch; very well trained and beautiful animals, lovely homes and rooms. Just could have moved along a little faster, with more of a story line than people fumbling over words to each other in the early Duhh stage of romance.

I feel the movie has no real story, a new dog owner falling for the dog trainer, boring old concept. With an interesting script, it could have been entertaining but it was not.
