DVD Reviews of The Dog Problem
DVD Review: Very Enjoyable and Insightful Film
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a little film with a big heart. It is truly an independant film and shows what the genre is capable of. The always reliable Giovanni Ribisis is hilarious here as a down trodden writer with writers block who is miserable and lonely with life plus broke on top of it all. He has been in daily therapy for a year and when he needs to stop due to funds his therapist suggests he get a pet.
Our main character gets a dog and half heartedly tries to take to the new addition in his life. He desperately fears the attachment. Many characters enter the story and all end up getting involved with the story of the dog. Our writer meets a woman with whom he starts to form a friendship which is also new to him.
The dog is perfectly cast and has great film presence. Your heart will melt. The acting here is all superb and the story flows along and will surprise you with a very emotional ending. The self discovery our main character goes through due to the dogs presence in his life is huge and truly believable.
This film is very well made and well directed. It is funny but in a realistic way. Give this film a chance. It will put you on a true emotional journey well worth taking. And if you love dogs it's just an added bonus!
DVD Review: Most enjoyable and a very nice change of pace
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea what this movie was about and was going to Tivo it but it grabbed my attention from the very moment it started. I watched it right then and Tivo'd it. It was so enjoyable and such a nice change of pace from all the violence and movies without substance. Giovanni Ribisi was wonderful and quirky. I just love watching this guy take any role and make it his own. When I realized Scott Caan was also in it and had written and directed, I was even more pleased. He can do it all! The writing and dialog is so real and everyone is perfectly cast. Of course, just watching the dog was entertaining in itself. The pup was precious and I found myself laughing out loud at him just prancing down the street. The would really be a wonderful date movie. I hope we see and hear more from Scott Caan!DVD Review: QUIRKY, FUNNY, INSIGHTFUL AND VERY ENTERTAINING!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a big fan of Giovanni Ribisi, I had to see this little movie. I was pleasantly surprised watching this well written tale of a writer who has become unable to write, function and has run out of money to pay for his therapy. His therapist suggest he buy a pet, so the young writer buys a cute little dog to take care of and hopefully help him get out of his unhealthy daily routine.
The film is full of good performances and insight. The dog is completely mesmerizing as he does little to convey so much. The scenes with the dog just doing nothing with the comical score in the background are priceless! It's a very entertaining movie with a great cast and impressive direction by Scott Caan(James son?), who wrote and also plays Ribisi's best friend. This is a cool film that is like a short subject, but has a lot to offer bewteen the lines. I can see this becoming a cult favorite!
DVD Review: The Dog Steals the Show
Summary: 5 Stars
Remember the lovable pooch in "As Good As It Gets"?? The dog almost stoled the movie from Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. Well this quirky little film, shot in Los Angeles, is another one! I rented this movie twice before I decided it had to be in my "Permanent" Collection. Giovanni Ribisi is perfect in this film as a "depressed" writer (In LA? come on!!) and the supporting cast doesn't let you down. A real indy delight.DVD Review: A Man, his Psychiatrist, and a Dog
Summary: 5 Stars
Well written, well acted movie.
Not for you if your looking for action, or sex.
But if you enjoy a good story, with good performances, and dogs are almost always good, then you can't go wrong with this movie.
A man's psychiatrist tells him he needs a dog, I wasn't sure that would be so good for the dog. Little did I know the guy didn't stand a chance.
A lot of fun, but not for those who need a fast paced film.
