Looks to be a better film than novel

The new York Times has the film as critic's pic.

This looks very cute and heartwarming.

I have a feeling I'll cry.

That trailer makes me feel like I've already seen the entire movie.

I mean, what else can happen? She dies? The dog dies? She marries her shrink? She discovers Bill Murray has taken over the body of the dog?

I'll give it a shot, but other than an overload of cuteness (Naomi [bold]and[/bold] the dog), I can't imagine that I'll find it interesting.

When the dog wrecks her place i hope her creams survived.

^^^Ya gotta love how the Rolling Stone describes the Bill Murray character: "[he] is as renowned for seducing his female students as much as he is for his literary legacy. He’s an irascible, charming rascal".

Like this is both common and commonly acceptable, even "charming."

Women's rights: one step forward, fifty steps back.

R10 It's literal violence!

As a former college instructor, I find that kind of behavior from professors unconscionable.

So sue me.

Naomi says this is the third time working with animals but she can't really count king Kong as that was not a real gorilla.

I don't like such big dogs.

I saw it last week. It's charming.

Naomi must have lost her jacket right sleeve backstage. Or is this a new look?

I don't like such big dogs.

I know what you mean. I ran into an acquaintance when they were walking their huge door and it scared me. It was like a horse!

by Anonymousreply 22April 19, 2025 10:11 AM

Just saw it. I actually liked the first 30 minutes the best before the dog appears. I like Naomi but this film just went on too long with about three endings.

Another fucking dead dog movie.

NOPE
