Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
vidrip A truly dreadful movie in just about every way. Atrocious, amateurish dialog, bad acting by good people (how well can yo act when you have to spout those horrible lines), not a shred of reality or truth to anything that transpires. And the concept, if one can call it that, is warmed over Woody Allen with the dog thing - because let's face it - dogs are cute and people who like dogs or have dogs or want to have dogs - well, they're already swell people, aren't they? Miss this movie unless you want a crash course in how to write trite, unoriginal, cliché-ridden, sloppy, boring crud. So, no, I didn't really care much for it.
Amy Adler Andy (Luke Wilson) has just been dumped by his girlfriend. To add insult to injury, she took the dog as well. Andy, not used to being on his own, meets Lorna (Natasha Henstridge) in a bar and a few sparks fly. Yet, Lorna, who has recently lost her boyfriend as well, is not interested in starting anything new and rejects Andy's advances. Jeri (Janeane Garofalo), as Andy's close co-worker, arranges for him to participate in a bachelor auction. Unfortunately, Kieran, loose and crazy, bids for him and promptly moves in with him. Complicated? You bet! Oh, and everyone walks their dogs in the dog park and takes their canine friends to obedience school with the same dog psychologist. Will the doggies get their diplomas even as their mixed-up owners try to straighten out their lives?This is, by no means, a successful romantic comedy. Instead, it falls into the category of an interesting also-ran. The main characters are appealing (Janeane Garofolo looks wonderful) but the plot's haphazard storyline is always throwing in more loose ends without connecting them in a logical fashion. The humor is not laugh-out-loud but rather mild and quirky. Fans of romantic comedies will probably stick this one out and enjoy it. Luke Wilson's ever-growing fan club will want to see it, also. All others will be less enchanted and find it a off-beat diversion with no memorable qualities.
carnivalofsouls Remember in "A Clockwork Orange" when Alex is forced to watch horrible footage while his eyes are clamped open, well they should have shown him "Dog Park"!! - It's THAT bad! - Warning for the extreme Janeane Garofalo fans ... only watch it if the mere utterance of her name exacerbates your heart rate (who are probably thirty-five plus and live in their mother's basement and watch "Star Trek"). They probably screen this film in concentration camps. About as funny as a burning orphanage! In fact I'd rather be in a burning orphanage than watch this diabolical excuse for a film again ...
leonardozeligbrazil Please do a favor to yourself and don't watch this movie Dog Park.It's a shame see good actors and actrisses working together in a so inapropriatte theme.If you are very patient maybe you'll watch the movie until the end but if you're not give up!!!I gave up. The story is completely stupid,there is this guy who never dates but oneday he meets Lorna(Henstridge) a beautifull and single woman.Then they go out at night and everything gets wrong.The bad thing of the movie is that dogs are the maincentral theme.The director add to the movie the most lunatic scenes with the animals,like:There is a dog named Moogley that goes to a shrink(!!!!)and he is in depression because he can't watch people having sex(!!!).Half of the movie is inside the shrink! Run away from this "motion picture" a classic of the trash!
