Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

borisjonez Good natured clever film with an eclectic mix of characters creates a cartoon like film made for 13 year olds and above. The mix of a professional wrestler and a German award winning actress combined with the local actors and non actors of Arizona makes for a really endearing, funny, and a little crazy film. Somehow within a silly movie about a dog wedding there is a thoughtful story about culture, capitalism and breaking free from your parents' expectations and living your dreams! You don't get this from main stream romantic comedies that's for sure.So many details in this film that make it really worth watching again and again. The music reminded me a little of the 80's in a cool way. It's an independent film so has it's quirky flaws but several scenes are brilliant.

joe-21117 This is a movie that has something for everyone.....relationships, dogs, wrestling, humor, business drama, jazz, and many unique characters. The movie is rare in the fact that it has ability to feel independent and quirky but appeal to a very mass audience. The movie is set in Arizona and involves a professional wrestler who meets a German business woman through their pet bulldogs. She is in Arizona on business to potentially shutdown a local food manufacturing facility and layoff the local workers. Her father is an overbearing CEO who demands her to only focus on the company. As you can imagine all the elements intertwine in a charming colorful story. I think viewers will enjoy this movie, yet appreciate that it is refreshingly creative and unique.

tompkinssquare Do you need a laugh or some cheering up? This is one of those charming offbeat heartwarming romantic comedies that wouldn't surprise me if over time became a cult classic. Now just the thought of the mixture of a bulldogs in love, a wedding, pickles, wrestlers, German entrepreneurs, and a subtle homage to the avant-garde film images of the 60's and 70's makes me laugh. This is not the end of the quirkiness. The cast is a blend of actors and non actors with good chemistry sprinkled with great music, remarkable Japanese musicians and an Arizonian backdrop that all comes surprisingly together. Maybe I'm just sentimental but the story even brings you to a happy tear ending. I have to say that Matt Bloom as one of the leads was wonderful and you can't say enough good things about Rosalie Thomass. Special recognition should go to writers and director who made this work. I love this movie.

rnsherriff We attended the Boston Premiere and fully enjoyed the film and its off-beat look at dog owners and relationships. The storyline moved well and the characters were skillfully cast. Hopefully there will be a sequel and we can further enjoy another episode. It does not hurt that we love Bullies!!! The crossover relationship from the world of professional wrestling and that of a young single professional woman was very entertaining and the two lead characters carried it off very well. We have seen Matt Bloom as his professional namesakes in the WWE and were very surprised by how talented he is as an actor out of the ring. His counterpart, Rosalie Thomass, was a natural in playing the love involvement in The Manimal's life, especially with their love of English Bulldogs. They carried off their relationship naturally and had the audience rooting for them. Well done!!!
