Summary: 4 Stars
Synopsis
Bark was directed by Kasia Adamik and was her first movie that she directed. A man tries to hide the fact that his wife now thinks she is a dog. He goes through turmoil trying to hide it from neighbors, family, friends and her work. Will he stay with the one he loves or give up? Will she remain a dog or be able to cope with the everyday stress of life?
Plot rating
The movie has themes of infidelity, commitment, and psychological trauma. We don't see a plot like this very often and I found it compelling. The husband truly does everything he can to bring his wife back. They did a good job at incorporating how she became a dog and mixes it with stressful life situations, such as, her family, people she deals with everyday, and her marriage. It would be nice to be able to has a nervous breakdown and just be able to turn into a dog who has not a care in the world and can lay around all day but I'm not that lucky, plus, I can't reach that far to my balls. I give the plot an 8/10.
Actor/Actresses
Lee Tegesen does a great performance playing the torn husband who tries everything to get his wife back, and hiding her breakdown from friends,family, and her job. I haven't seen him in a lot of things but he always makes his roles feel real when he does something. Heather Morgan plays a dog for most of the movie with flashbacks explaining how she became a dog. She does a great job at playing a dog and also with being a neurotic woman. Hank Azaria tries to play the funny committed best-friend who cracks some jokes and tries to find the lighter side of things in this serious situation. Lisa Kudrow plays the nice vet who tries to help Lees character and also plays a love interest. She seems to play the same character in all the things she does which is a little disappointing. I give the plot an 8/10.
DVD Extras
This movie comes from First Look Pictures. The extras are terrible. Only a few trailers for other movies. (Man, I really should start picking DVD's with better extras). It gets a big old 0/10.
Personal Thoughts
This movie does a great job at incorporating family problems, emotional distress, and marriage commitment into the movie. All the actors are very entertaining and bring their own thing into the movie. Although this movie isn't very well known and got a bad rating I would suggest it to people who are fans of psychology or interested in the plot.
All in all this movie is good and gets at 16/30. It's not my favorite movie but nice to watch every once in awhile.
