If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Very subtle comedy. But it angered lots of viewers, which makes it even more special. Produced by Brad Pitt, but dont expect an action picture or something. I just got to know of this movie because Brad Pitt has got a real good knack for producing quality movies. But this comedy is only suited for those who understand subtle tongue in cheek jokes. Lots of viewers thought of it as boring because they didnt understand the tongue in cheek humor of the behaviour by the characters. Lots of others got angry because there are a lot of politically uncorrect characters in this story which ofcourse will upset the masses who expected to see a nice, clean cut comedy. It isnt. It deceives you and then it hits you, gently though...The director and writer of this movie, Mike White, has also made the legendary and hilarious movie called "Office Space", also about neat and clean office workers, who eventually go wild. Come to think of it most of Mike White's movies are about office workers or other boring characters that suddenly get entangled in the wildest action plots. Really hilarious stuff, but again only suited for those who get the subtle tongue in cheek jokes, the masses probably will find it somewhat boring or be really offended if they let their kids watch it...The strength of this movie is its subtle story, in which we start with a clean and neat office worker lady, who is as law abiding and decent as one can be. But the more this nice lady becomes aware of what kind pf cruelties are committed to animals in the meat industry the more she starts revolting. And because of this ever climaxing anger by this previously law abiding lady her actions become ever more dangerous and violent. But in a hilarious and innocent way. Very tongue in cheek. Suited for the whole family, everyone could like it, especially if you are an animal lover. But not suited for the politically correct masses...
This movie really made me feel good about being a pet lover and owner. Hope other's take time to watch it to the end.
molly's alright with me, a great actress. movie is a fairly successful attempt at "black comedy", a serious but loopy look at dog worship...and obsessiveness in general.many opportunities to make this a 9er or 10er, but no, golden opportunities swoop in and...out. molly's next door neighbor is a taxidermist who gets up the nerve to ask out his cute neighbor, molly (who has lost her pet!). not gonna give the whole thing away, but does the Director "connect" her paranoia and his unusual hobby? (you'll find out). and why does the Director let molly become a Hitchcock character when just a very *neurotic but nice person* sells the character and story? if you love molly, buy the DVD now.
This movie has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I watched it on Netflix and they said it was a comedy. Well, it wasn't. I laughed at the one part where she had 15 dogs in her car and that was it. She became insane the more she seemed to "like" animals. She didn't really take care of them. She let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, this movie was a complete waste of my time. Don't waste your time on it. I expected more from Molly Shannon. I expected something smart and funny and all I got was dumb and boring and weird. There was nothing good about this movie. It was a strange movie and at the end, I was like "is that it?"
