Even though this isn't Hallmark, you still have a pretty good idea of the ultimate outcome. Getting there is a little crazy. Both Sarah and Jake spend a lot of time with other love interests and there are a lot of embarrassing moments, especially for Sarah. And don't forget Sarah's sisters and friends who are called upon repeatedly for encouragement. Still Diane Lane and John Cusack had good chemistry.
There are a lot of funny moments and funny lines. For me, a movie is exceptional if I laugh out loud even once and there were several of those in this movie.
There are a few things that either I disliked directly or thought could have been better. The title is about dogs and yet I thought there could have been more with the dogs. This movie goes back aways sitting in 2024 and I am tired of awkward date scenes. Not only were they really awkward, but there were more than I'm used to and they are sprinkled throughout the movie. My worst complaint is the commentary on men. I don't think there is a line that "men are dogs", but that is the message, except for Jake. The worst was the father. It is one thing to make Sarah's dates out as shallow with women, but why did her father have to be? And he might have been the worst flaunting them in front of Dolly.
